Stephanie is right. It makws the food wash thru ur band quicker, not letting u get as full. But I'm 2 1/2 yrs out and physically CAN'T drink for at least 30-60 mins after eating. I'll throw up. I read a lapband book about a yr ago and found its called the "cork effect". The food lodges in my esophagus making a cork and if u drink, it'll all come back up. I drink right up till the time I eat then I can't for about an hour. Marci

I really needed to read this! tHANKS! I'm with you here! I will have to check this out! Go Irene!

Woww, I was wondering what the 60 days was! You will rip your body apart, muscle by muscle! LOL You cn do it!

I hear you about the preop diet. I start mine this coming Tues 4/10 and I am scared out of my mind. First, you would think I would have given up the diet pepsi ahead of time. did i? NO. so I can go cold turkey on the pop that I drink about 32 ounces a day. If I could stick to a diet, I would be thin. That's the whole problem. But I'm scared to death that if I don't comply, my liver will be too large, and they won't do the surgery. I am going to do this. i have to. And you will too. I will lock myself in a closet if I have to. lol. I already apologized to my husband and daughter for anything I might say or do during the 2 weeks, but I know that will be no excuse for mistreating people. Who knows, maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised and it will be a piece of cake. Piece of cake???? did I just mention food? OMG. Be strong!

damm girl you do an hour of cardio 6 days a week what is insanity is that weight training you are a machine i lift 6 days a week but i do 45 minutes of cardio 4 times a week i use to do hour of cardio but since i increased my weight training i dont have the energy to do hour at night after 10 12 hour work days

Start trying to lose weight ahead of time and before the liquid diet is assigned. I saw my surgeon 2 days ago and told him about the 11 pound weight loss I just had by doing a high protein diet for the last 3 weeks and he said it was great and that I could skip the liquid diet because of it.

I have faith in you LMD! I know you can do it! I can't wait to see you at the end of 60 days!

Lets see...last check in was 19 hours...now you're at 21 hours...and I'm pretty sure you wrote this a while ago. Told ya, it's all downhill from here!! You got this! If you can do everything you've done to this point a couple days of liquids is NOTHING!!! Just think about how much easier it is now, than it was Pre-Op!
