    It's kind of hard. You're definitely not as hungry as you usually are pre-op, but the food options are bad. I had 2 weeks of full liquids, soft mushie food, soft solids, and then finally solids. I'm in the solids stage right now, and have lost 35 lbs. I have not cheated once. I will not allow myself. The band is just a tool, you can cheat it. Lap-band is best at restricting solids, not liquids remember that. If someone sits home and binges on cake, chips, soda, juice, ice-cream, etc. They WILL fail.

    It's a total lifestyle change. You can eat your way around any of the weight loss surgeries available. Lots of people will tell you it's the "easy way out". Actually it's extremely hard. My cousin had the bypass surgery. It was hard for her to deal with at first. She could only eat a tiny bit at a time. It changes the outside, but it doesn't change your brain or habits, those you have to work on. Good luck to you.

    Yes the lapband is usually helpful.Provided one sticks to it...a low fat and liquid diet may be helpful in the initial stage yes...but do something that you can stick to else you will fall back to become much more fatter than before.
