Hello Everyone!

I am new to the forum and am having my lapband/plication surgery on 8/8. I am excited, anxious, nervous, and all other emotions combined. I am on my liquid only phase on my pre-op diet and hope it gets easier after surgery.

I am very excited to be on this journey and hope this tool will help me kick my bad habits once and for all. One of my biggest drivers to have the surgery is I am 28 and my husband and I are looking to have kids in the next few years and I do not want to pass along my habits to my kids like my family passed along to me.

So excited to start this new life and this journey and look forward to getting to know some of you as we go through this journey together!!

Good luck to you! It is great that you are chosing to do this now before you have kids, etc. Best of luck to you.

I am 10 days post-op. There were some difficult days after surgery adjusting to full liquids, etc. but the surgery itself wasn't that bad. I have been able to still cook for my family and my daughter baked cupcakes last night. They sure smelled good but I know that I can't have and don't need them and have been able to stay focused on my goal.

From the 2 week pre-op diet to now I have lost 23 lbs and that is a great motivator. You can do it!

Hi welcome to the forum, I joined a week ago.

I understand how you feel, I passed my bad habits to my three children, watching them go on diets it's heart breaking, knowing I could have prevented some of it. We are learning as a family how to eat healthy and listen to our bodies.

Best wishes on your weight loss journey!!!!
