Hi! Just joined the group today. Hoping I can find someone to talk to and share stories with. I am schedualed to have the Lap Band surgery on March 23. I had resurched the surgery for two years and its taken me a whole year to get approved by the insurance company, but I am finaly on my way!!!! I am on my liquid diet before my surgery and it is going suprizingly well. I am only really nervous about how to measure things out when I can actually have pureeed and solid foods. And how do you actually puree something? Dont you have to add liquid to it? I know that joining this group will help with these things. (at least I hope it does!) Have a great day!!

Welcome to LBT congrats to you on your decision to lose weight!! The pureed stage was hard. I failed at this stage. I primarily ate "soft" foods. Like pudding, jello, mashed potatoes, cooked carrots (mashed) that kind of stuff oh and scrambled eggs. Good luck to you! Your next few weeks will be rough but it will be totally worth it!!! This is a life changing surgery (for the better of course) and you will be going through alot of changes in the next year as you begin your journey.
