I 'M HAVING THE LAPBAND AUG.5TH!!!!

I'm on my liquid diet and am doing good.  I don't think I'm getting enough Protein in but I'm just not hungry.  Any suggestions?

I'm working with the same group but still waiting for insurance approval.  I'm not to the liquid diet part yet but when I met with the nutritionist I received a packet that listed items to eat/drink on the liquid diet.  Check your materials or call the office to talk with the nutritionist for more suggestions.

Good luck - I'm hoping to be there soon!

Grandma T ,   I orderd some unjury tonite. I had 2 same packs and they where really pretty good.    It's about time for a popsicle and then bed. Good luck to you also!!   Margo E.

Good luck Margo!!!  Glad to hear you got your date.  I'm still fumbling with insurance requirements!

I just had my lap band yesterday,  prior to that I had also had the liquid diet.  I found that the unjury was good.  If you drink it three times daily with 8ounces of skim milk you will have at least 60 grams of protien.  I personally like the chocolate or vanilla.  I have tried the citrus mixed in water with crystal light lemonade - was okay.

Good luck to you on the 5th!

Hi Margo!!!!!

Glad that you're doing well with the liquid diet.  I have been using the Unjury unflavored for my protein supplements and doing great.  I use Lactaid or Dairy Ease (I came out of lap RNY surgery lactose intolerant**** sometimes a little chilled coffee, and Davinci's SF syrup, whiz it in the Magic Bullet, and voila! a tasty treat.

I'll be thinking of you Tuesday.  I've got an appointment with Dee on Thursday, so I'll be anxious to get an update.
