lap band diet starts rite now and i dont know what type of soup to eat
-
Hi coach. you should have gotten instructions on what you can and cannot eat/drink. I recall we were told clear broth only. no creamed soups. I had chicken and beef consomme only. That's why I added the veggies to make it more 'filling'. Call the office and talk to one of the NUTS. They can guide you. I'm helping you as much as possible but my pre-op diet was 2 1/2 years ago and I can't recall all of the directions exactly.

lap band surgery coming soon ........
-
I had a lap band in 2004. Did great for 10 years. Lost 100 lbs. last year got a virus and was vomiting. My band slipped and now I have to have it removed and converted to a sleeve. I don!t regret having the band at all. It's a day by day thing learning how to eat. You may not tolerate the same food two days in a row. I did on occasion have a mixed drink and was fine with it but you have to be aware that liquids go down real easy and you have to really watch the calories for that reason. I had to learn that a frappe was my enemy. I wish you the best of luck.

PREMADE PROTEIN SHAKES VS PROTEIN POWDER IS IT ALL THE SAME BEFORE PRE OP LAPBAND
-
The premade shakes are very smooth and also quite sweet. With the mix you have more choice of flavors and textures (mix and match as you make them too) and I find they seem be more filling. Use two scoops and you can up the protein content without drinking two ready mades. That said some powders are very chalky and some are wonderful (I particularly like Unjury). You can also choose your source of protein with powders. There are many vegetable based ones as well as whey and soy based ones. Good luck.
