:huh2:Hello Everyone, Just wanted to say I had a the Lap band on 03-02-09. I am so excited and anxious. I cannot wait to see what the scales say. Once the gas/diahrrea left as seems alot better. I must say there is not much to eat out there for the stage I am in. Still looking for something else. Any ideas?

What stage are you in, bo? Clear liquids? Full liquids? Mushies? Every doc has their own schedule of food progression. It can be tough at first, but hang in there.

I got my band on 3-9, I am on full liquids--Carnation Instant Breakfast Drink (no surgar added), High Protein Slim Fast. I use the powder with skim milk. My doc says no 1% or 2% as it has to much fat. No sugar popciles, crystal light, tea and water. I can have apple or grape juice that is cut with water. I plan to have some egg drop soup next week as I head into the mushies just because I miss something that has a good taste. I can add yogurt and cottage cheese next.

I am scheduled for my surgery tomorrow. I am a bag of nerves! I think I've been on this site too long reading too many horror stories...I hope I made the right choice I so bad want this to work for me with no hassles
