I thought it got easier as time went on too.  If you haven't cheated at all then you should be very proud.  Good luck finding protein you like, it's a challenge for sure.

That is what I am going for, but I am still pre-op so I dont think I will have much info to give you.

Topic: RE: 1 Week Out!
Sounds like you are doing great.  I agree about getting tired of liquid options.  I was so glad to get to have soft foods!  I went back to work the next week on Weds. (had my surgery the Monday before) and it went fine.  It was nice to have something to take my mind off everything.  I have a very sedentary job so it wasn't physically demanding.

Yup you can have some soups, sf popsicles (I really like the crystal lite ones), custard from the binder (not bad at all), sf carnation instant breakfast, skim milk, sf jello.  The first three days were the hardest for me and then I was fine.  If you are starving have an extra shake.  You are on your way now!!!

Topic: Lap Band-Southern Maine
Hello All,

I was wondering if there were any people that have or are going to have the lap band?  How its worked for them?  I know there are other forums but would like to hear from someone from Maine.

How exciting!  Yes,  creamed low carb, low sodium soups are allowed as well as frozen popsicles.  I also enjoyed the recipe in the binder for custard. It really hit the spot. SF jellos were good and well, I can't remember what else I liked. 

The two weeks will go by so fast.  Good luck!!

I begin the 2-week liquid diet starting tomorrow!  Time seems to be flying!  I'm a little worried about being hungry the next 2-weeks, but I have hope I'll survive lol.  I purchased the chocolate and strawberry Unjury protein stuff.  I'll have to look at my red binder again to see if I can have anything else over the next couple weeks, anyone know of the top of their head if things like chicken soup or popcicles are are allowed during the pre-op diet liquid phase?  Something in my head tells me they are not and that all I can have is water and Unjury the next two weeks which is freaking me out lol.  May 28th will not get here soon enough :-)

I am so excited for you!  When I went to the informational meeting, they said it was going to be early fall!  So, that is excellent!
