Howdy! :whoo:I am a newbie, three weeks post op. I have lost 22 pounds from my start of the liquid diet and 16 pounds since surgery. I have only gotten ill once when I wolfed down a few gulps of a bkft burrito. I have found that if I chew slowly I can eat almost anything. Dry meat, hard breads, flour tortillas are a no-no for me. I jogged three miles non stop the other day which was a milestone. I have been eating too much since moving to more solid foods and I am hopeful my first fill will help curb my enthusiasm at the table. I go in for the fill in ten days. My cardiologist has already removed one of my three blood pressure meds. It was running 113/56 last week. Lap band has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Hunter5410 304-282-190

Hi, I have just gotten a surgery date of July 17. It has taken over a year to get to this point. Now, I am really nervous. I don't know about the liquid diet?? I was also told I would need to take a Protein drink and a chewable multi-vitamin every day forever. I need your help, advice and encouragement! Any ideas on liquid meals??? Is there a better Protein Drink? Do you drink these as your Breakfast? I feel really lost and can use some advice. Thanks, Hunter in Texas:omg:

Thanks, I will look at Muscle Milk... good luck
