Hi,Ladies

I've been a memeber of lapband talk since 2007 but, just decided to have surgery on 11/11/08. started dieting on 10/13/08 and pre-op diet on 10/28/08. Today I am one week post-op and lost a total of 34lbs. My doctor suggested liquids two weeks post-op but I started mushie food about 3 days ago. Is that okay? Is it okay to drink unsweetend apple juice?

First of all.. YOU GO GIRL. 34lbs lost already, you are doing wonderful. Every doctor is different. My doctor had me on liquids for two weeks, but when I went to the office for post op which was about three days prior to my 2nd week they moved me to a modified regular diet. He told me to just make sure I don't eat anything that is hard to digest like steak and to also make sure I chew my food very well. As far liquids the rule I was given was not to dring any calories. I drank a lot of apple juice even though it had a few calories, it wasn't alot. Congrats again on joining the world of the banded.

Hey girl! Welcome to the group and congratulations on your weightloss.
