Lap Band Friday

So, I'm finally getting my lap band Friday. I've been on a liquid diet since this past Friday and have lost 4 lbs. The liquids consist of coffee, tea, low fat milk, broth, 2 Slimfasts per day, Gatorade, strained wonton soup (I've been doing strained egg drop since it has almost no fat and is low cal) jello and apple juice. I've been doing light Frappacinos (instead of Slim fast)since they have skim milk and coffee and less sugar than a Slim Fast and as much protein. I've been doing well. I feel kind of zapped, but am better today. We actually took Lauren to the park this morning and walked while she rode her bike. It was so nice!!!

I'm going to Super Suppers tomorrow night to make 12 dinners for Lauren and Aaron. I won't be able to have true solids for four weeks. I'll do two weeks of liquids (I can have cream soups, shakes, and smoothies.) Then I'll do two weeks of mushies like mashed potatoes, refried beans, etc... I want my family to have good food even if I can't cook it. So, we are doing SS. For those of you not familiar with the concept:

I also found an interesting and kind of funny blog post about someone's experience with Super Suppers:

Anyway, I'm going tomorrow. I'm going again in late June so I can make some healthy and portion controlled meals for when I can have solids. I figured it would make healthy eating a bit easier. I'll probably do Weight Watchers and Lean Cuisine frozen meals for lunch.
