33 days post op

Ok it has been a month. I only lost 7 pounds since my surgery. The good thing is that my doctor didn't have any fluid in my band after surgery. I went this past Monday and I had a 2.5 cc fill out of 10 cc. I'm not happy about the weight loss, but I see the inches coming off. I have to try and stick this out. The doctor didn't give me any restrictions. I can have solids. I feel the best meal out the day is my protein shake. It keeps me full longer. The only thing is I'm still stuck walking. Two o

I made it to mushy foods. Tonight I ate talapia. It was the first time I had it. It was grilled and it was quite delicious. This week has been pretty good. I started walking. I am going to try and walk two miles on Monday. My energy level has increased. That is a plus for me. I find that I want to do more.   I really appreciate the support that I have found on here. It feels good to talk to people who know what you are going through. The advice has been great and very appreciated.

I want to eat more hard foods and I know I'm not ready for that. I also stayed very gassy. I broke down and called the doctor on Friday. I felt like I was abnormal. My patient advocate told me I was fine. I wouldn't be able to eat much and my weight loss may stall. He told me as the weeks go on and the more active

Well I made it through my first week. As far as sticking to the diet, it has been a hard week. I think that is because I was at work and everything is tempting. I didn't stray much. I wished I could have. I'm scared to eat anything that could hutrt me. On another note, the gas is getting better. I know that's from the extra walking at work. Yesterday I had my first pureed food. My husband took my vegetable broth and cooked it with my frozen vegetables. then he threw it in the blender. It was act

4th day post op

This is my 4th day post-op. I have more questions today than I've had all four other days. I'm having these horrible uncomfortable feelings. I get this pressure in my breastbone. My husband says it is the gas. I can't burp or pass it. It is taking so long to get rid of it.   I want to make sure that I am eating right. I have yet to drink the 64 ounces of liquids. I barely have an appetite. I found a smoothie that is really good. My doctor put it on my list of acceptable protein shakes. I've b
