Hi everyone,

I've never been a "thin" person, but in the past few years, I've gained 50lbs. My knees are so bad cause of all this weight I carry around, plus I have MS that I'm almost bed bound. Losing weight won't cure everything but will make living a lot easier I think. My prep was almost a year long and I was finally able to have my surgery 10/13. Yeah!!!!! I'm on full liquids and though I feel full for a little while, I do get hungry again fast. I'm restricted on what to eat though cause I'm lactose intolerant and seems all full liquids have milk in them. Was wondering if anyone has some food ideas for me. I look forward to coming to this site often as I'm beginning this journey.

I don't have answers to your questions, but I do want to tell you that I am happy to see someone else who got banded at around 200 lbs. I am trying to make it to 205 to get banded. (I'm 5' 4") with some other conditions. (sleep apnea?) I want to look 60-65 pounds too. I see the surgeon on Tues.

I wish you the best.

Linda
