Hi I received my lapband 12/07 and I mainly eat pureed foods sometimes very soft foods. In the morning its coffee and yogurt or protein drink. Lunch I puree soups or make up mashed potatoes with cream of chicken soup or gravy with meat that is pureed. I still have a hard time with meat. sometimes I can have crackers. I have lost 45 lbs so far. Don't give up go for softer foods. Sometimes my meal is a smoothie or a shake. I even had to go in to get revised in Feb because I got the flu and it slipped which caused me not to hold anything down, not even liquids. So don't give up.

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.
