Can anyone recommend some good books to read on lapband surgery and/or good recipes for the mushy stage and after?

I don't know what to do!
Padanelle replied to ReAnnah's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I;m mlucky that I live in NYC, where there are several excellent hospitals that have Weight Loss Centers. I definately wouldn't want to have surgery done by someone who has only performed LBS 3 x. his site has a thread for people from WY. Maybe somene there can give you some alternate suggestions. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f71/anyone-else-here-wyoming-50132/index3.html#post1223429 Good Luck! -
Congratulations! I just got my approval today. Now it's a mad scramble to set up all of the pre-surgery tests and medical clearences, as my surgery is on Jun 8th.

Is anyone keeping their surgery a secret?
Padanelle replied to Dreamjeans's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been telling EVERYONE. I waited until a few weks before to tell my co-workers. It's amazing. Everyone I tell seems to know someone who has had the surgery and has given me great success stories, which has really been helpful. -
Time line seems long ...9 mths until surgery
Padanelle replied to pnw's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow! That seems long. Does your insurance require 6 months dr supervision for weight loss. Many do. I went to the seminar in Feb, had the psyc exam a few weeks later, then met with Nurtitionist, Nurse & Surgeon on Mar 24. Surgery was scheduled for Mar 24, but was postoned twice because the surgeon couldn't make it. I'm now scheduled for Jun 8th. Can't wait! Good luck. -
I'm on the 3rd day of the pre-op diet. Mine doesn't seem to allow any fruits - only 2 cups of veggies. I made some artichokes and have been eating one a day, dipping the leaves in fat free dressing. Does anyone have any other veggie suggestions?

Help with Protein shakes

I mix in the blender GNC chocolate whey protien powder with 8 oz Silk Lite Vanilla and a few ice cubes. Tastes pretty good.
