I am a new member here. I was banded on December 26th. It was my 40th b-day present to myself. Since December 17th I have lost 37 pounds. I have many questions regarding menus for this new lifestyle of mine and would greatly appreciate any help that you are willing to give.

Congrats on your weight loss to date. I eat everything just smaller portions. I don't have a menu other than a lot of protein shakes, lean meats and vegies.

Congrats! I'm new here too and am scheduled for 2/23........your story is so inspiring. You've lost so much in just a short time. I'm almost 38 now, and this is kind of my 40th present to myself also.......I'm hoping to be at goal weight by the time I turn 40 (also the year all of my kids will be in full day school!). Take care. Gretchen
