Hello All-
Thought I would give an update. So going through the death of Jasper was hard to do while trying not to eat anything but crapy vanilla water. I have my days where I question what I am doing but then I have my days where I am like hell yeah lets get going! Food sucks and I hate that it has such a hold on me. Its a love/hate relationship... I can tell you this I have never been so ready for blenderized spaghetti...LOL
So I have including today 4 more days of my crapy vanilla water to drink. Then only clear liquids/castor oil on Monday and surgery on Tuesday. I go back to work tomorrow after my 3 day suspension "vacation days" and then I am off all next week for surgery and recovery.

A friend of mine had the surgery done in March, and she drank the Atkins Advantage shakes when she was on the liquid diet.
I have had them and they taste great. They contain 15g of Protein 1g of sugar, and 160 calories. I didn't like the vanella, but every other flavor is good.
GOOD LUCK...

There are 2-3 stitches made pulling the skin up around the lap band to prevent slipping. Due to this your stomach swells and is irritated. So eating items that are easy to digest allows the stomach to calm down. This is recommended after surgery and after each fill but each person is different.
