lynnt1215 1 Posted March 5, 2008 I have all but one clearance.. go for pre-op on 3/6 and find out my surgery time. Trying to keep to a one regular meal a day diet and 2 meals of protien drink. Seems easy now, but my Dr requires 4 weeks of liquid diet after surgery, then 2 weeks pureed and 2 weeks soft, before going to any "solid" food...ugh my surgeon is Dr. Gail Wynn in Newark, DE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jessie Ward 0 Posted March 9, 2008 Good luck to all March Banders. I had my surgery on Nov.14 th and I have lost 45 pounds and 38 inches. I was wearing a size 22 before and now wear a 16 and it feels great. I was on a slim fast diet for my 2 weeks but I drank chicken broth and had Jello. If you can make it through the liquid diet the lap band is a breeze. Good luck to all of you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lonestar5212 0 Posted March 9, 2008 Being banded on March 14. Doing pre-op but mine isn't just liquid, so it is fine. What is the magic bullet ya'll were talking about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hopeinapril 1 Posted March 9, 2008 Hi Lonestar: It is a small blender. There are infomercials on tv for it. They usually are mixing the cool drinks, but they will blend all kinds of stuff. I think you can get them in Walmart or department stores like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
