Welcome Lita,

Congratuations and many successes throughout your new "birthday" years. Here on LBT, you will find plenty of advice and support from people who are not only concerned with their wellbeing but also care about yours as well.

Welcome to lapband talk forum. As far as nutrition goes the best advice I can give you is solid protein. It will fill you up and it will take longer to get hungry. Check out the food forum. Julie
