lapbandbarb 0 Posted July 13, 2008 I had severe pain from arthritis in my knees and losing 30 lbs has made such a difference already!!! I was banded on 7/7 and am really emotional but at least my knee pain is gone. Miracle! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eyrica 0 Posted July 14, 2008 Thanks so much to all of you who responded. I thought I was totally prepared for this - three weeks without real food? No big deal! But it is a huge emotional and physical adjustment. It feels good to know I'm not alone. Today I found an Isopure protien drink at GNC that is clear and actully tastes pretty good - almonst like Vitamin Water. Getting something other than water and chicken broth into me seems to have helped some, as has chewing gum - but I still can't wait to eat something substantial!

eyrica 0 Posted July 14, 2008 Thanks for your reply. Is blended frit allowed in the liquid stage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SueAZ 3 Posted July 14, 2008 Check with your doctor but usually if it can go throw a straw( Not that we can us them) it's consider liquid. So like a fruit smoothie would be okay for most docors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
