My new life begins tomorrow (at least phase one). I meet with my Lap-Band surgeon for the first time and hope to schedule surgery in August. I look forward to capturing the entire experience here, from start to finish (as I have been helped by others who did the same).

Here's a little bit of information about me. I'm 45 and have fought the battle of the bulge (to some degree) most of my life. Over the ten years, it's become intolerable. I now weigh 255 lbs. and have a BMI of 40. (Wow,...

Got my 2nd fill coming up, and I am now down to 312 from 340, so I am doing ok but still feel I am eating too much and not excercising at all hardly.

I drank V-8 today and it tasted really good. I am drinking a protein drink for lunch (Novarti) that is for bariatric patients. It tastes pretty good but I can only make...
