Hello,

I'm just new to the whole Lap-band surgery...I had my done on April 1st....just 2 weeks ago....I see my Dr. this Thursday, so I do not know how much I have lost...I live in Holland Mi. and had my lap-band done near Ann Arbor Mi...doing great sometimes just a little hugery...not bad...one more week of liquid and than onto puree foods...:thumbup:

It sound like you are waiting for surgery....is that right

I had my surgery a little over the year ago. So far I have lost 53 lbs. I am so happy to go shopping now!

I'm happy for you...great job..

It sound like you are waiting for surgery....is that right

Yes, I am waiting on insurance approval then will probably wait until summer to have surgery. I work in the school system, so I thought that would be best for me. No pressure to return to work before i'm ready.

So you are feeling ok, other than being hungry?

Congrats!!! I've still got 3 month before my surgery. I'm excited and a little fearful. My doctor wants me to do 2 weeks all liquids prior to my surgery

Yes, but I really am not that hungry....if I make sure that I get the amount of protein in...that is a good idea about this summer....you can do your thing and when you start back to work you will be on reg. foods...I drove bus to for 11 years for West Ottawa Schools in Holland, Mi. Right I'm reitred...but so busy...

I know what you mean...retired people are some of the busiest I know!

I assume you are drinking Protein shakes? Any suggestions on a good one?

Do you have the book...from Barix Clinics....really some good shakes in there...or at your Dr. office there are some shakes that are 3.00 and they have 28 grams of pro. in them...I also get some pro mix from a weight place that I went to before...and I mix it with hot water in a cup and slip on it like tea...really really good and 15 gr of pro...look into a health food store...let me know your date...

congrats and welcome to LBT
