Lap Band done 3/18/08 - Dr. Jefferson Vaughn

I've been on this liquid diet for 5 days :frown:. My urine is starting to smell like chicken broth :frown:!!!! But, I have lost 10 pounds, so I guess chicken broth is not a bad price to pay........LOL. My starting weight was 239, and today I weighted in at 229. I guess I don't miss the chocolates too much:sad_smile::wub::sad_smile:

Can someone please let me know when I'm to start the Protein shakes, and if there is one in particular that you love??

Thanks, and next time I sign on, you'll see less of me:thumbup:

Congrats on getting banded and on your weightloss.

Your doctor should've given you very specific instructions on your consumption of foods/liquids. You should contact him/her to get that info.

jjsmema,

Your doctor should tell you when you are supposed to start your shakes. Because I have read many sources and everyone says a different timeframe. About Protein shakes: well I do not like the milky ones so I tried nectar and is pretty good. I got the fuzzy navel falvor and I mix it with V8 Splah light or some juice. Its a lot better than all the other ones. Isopure clear comes already made in a glass bottle is also good but more expensive. TRy bariatriceating.com or bestpricenutrition.com

Good luck and congrats on your 10lbs!! I miss bread but I am happy with my 7lbs lost since surgery!
