I watched the show I think they could have had more info on LapBand. That girl that only ate the yogurt had been banded 6 months ago. There is no way she would be healthy on just that amount of food.

I am currently on day 8 of my liquid diet. I'm just going to tell you right now it SUCKS. But I know I have to do it. The 2nd day was actually the hardest day for me so far. I usually drink 4-5 Protein shakes, sugar free Jello and Sugar Free pudding. But don't forgot to drink plenty of Water. My wife has been very sweet in trying to do the diet with me but after the 2nd day she had to eat.... lol

Well my LapBand Surgery is 2 weeks from today. I started my 2 week liquid diet yesterday. I have been trying to have something every 2 hrs. I've been drinking Protein Shakes, eating Jello and puddings. I just finished a Protein Shake but I am starving!!!!!! I feel like I could eat the computer if I could.... LOL
