Hi :biggrin2: My name is Donna and I'm in Texas. I am married with 3 grown children and 1 granddaughter (4months). I got the lab band Dec. 2007 and have lost 45 lbs. I did have to get a revision in Feb and I lost a lot of weight then and kept it off. I got the flu and could not hold anything down even liquids. I am ok now. I have gotten lots of fills and unfills but right now I am at 4.8, I think I will stay there. I also have good days and bad days. Guess you can say I am still getting use to it. Dr. John Gonzales put in the lapband at True Results but when I got revised he went to WeightWise and I am still there because his nurse went with him and she is great with the fills. I still have lots of questions about the eating. I am still on pureed foods or very soft foods.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
