hi dana.... u are 100% right! i did try to push it down with water and ended up vomiting just the water, was too late for the food.....it took like 4-6 hours in pain....i guess i was celebrating that i lost 65 pound which never happened to me before (at least since high school weight!!)....anyway....i didn`t eat or drink anything the rest of the day yesterday....i didn`t do the heat though ....i have no intention whatsoever to go through that same pain again ever!!! at least i got my lesson....we all do....don`t we! lol thanks for the reply dana p.s: this site is slowing down a bit that before.....i also couldn`t find the IM feature it used to have at the top ...weird!

hi.... i had my surgery almost 4 months ago, i just had a party! over ate ....probably the most i did since the surgery! i have pain 5-6 out of ten esp. on movement ....what should i do now?! i tried to throw up but its not working! would the water help fasten the food movement?? thanks

Thanks for all of your replies...they are really encouraging ... I just saw my Dr and he only allowed 5 cans of slim fast a day for two weeks!! plus any amount of tea and artificial sweeteners....i never stayed on such low calorie diet.... wt today before i start any thing is 276 lb , ht 5 9 ! at 11/04/08 ! hope to have one of those great win stories some of you guys had done! best wishes to all

Hi kittycat thanks for the reply... i heard 1200 per day....is that about it? also, what about the band size....isn`t the more bigger the better??? is it the surgeon choice entirely ....or it is ours as well???? thanks again

Hi guys.... I will be joining you all soon with a lapband.... i havent seen my diet expert yet....iam just gonna go ahead and start my liquid diet ASAP since i want the band ASAP! what do u do for the pre-operative liquid diet?????? is it like slim fast and other protein shakes....wouldn`t u end up gaining wt if u did too many of those?!! is there a calorie max limit??? and did u just buy it from osco- walgreens and such places??? my first consultation with my surgeon is this evening! ur help is greatly appreciated thanks in advance sam
