Hi - I'm just curious as to how much weight everyone lost after two weeks post-op? I'm concerned that I haven't lost an adequate amount (12 lbs). My first post-op appt is this afternoon and I'm afraid the dr will be disappointed. Thanks all :smile: -jenwan

Thanks everyone for your replies! It's interesting to see how the recommended post-op diets vary dr to dr. Helen - I would love to follow your recommended diet, lol! I spoke with the drs office today and they said I can transition a couple days early each week and just reiterated that they enforce their protocol to ensure a smooth and proper healing process. I will try to be more patient :thumbup: -jenwan

Hi - I had LAP-BAND®® surgery five days ago (Tuesday, April 6). I've been following the clear liquid diet pretty strictly so far was was told to do so until week 2 when I can transition to the full liquid diet (yogurt, pudding, milk, Protein shakes). Did any of you start the full liquid diet early and had trouble with it? I want to avoid any chance of nausea/regurgitation but I'm eager to try the fuller liquids now and am even hoping to start the softer food diet early too (maybe three days early). Can anyone share their experience? Thanks! -jenwan
