April 22 Lap Band Op

Theluckydog ...all liquids? Oh man. Good luck!

I'm also on all liquids for 2 weeks. THIS SUCKS!!! I've been chewing on the same piece of gum for HOURS.Lol

I'm so happy I have 3 days of liquids.

Lucky!!! I feel like I haven't lost any weight. I'm following directions, except today I had a few pieces of Pork rinds. That can't be that bad because they are absolutely zero carbs. My boss looked at me today and could tell that I'm feeling weak. He asked if I was ok, and I told him yes. He also asked what's wrong. I told him I'm on a new diet for the next few weeks, and he told me that he sees me weak and not as energetic, and that it is impacting my work ethic. I wish my doctor would allow me to at least have one small high Protein meal to get some more energy.

Once your band is adjusted properly or even if you have a swelling episode, swallowed gum can get stuck in your stoma and will not break down like normal food will.
