A Little Over One Week Post Op

I am still on liquids, (anything I can get through a straw) so tonight I made homemade potato soup and it was great!!!!! One cup filled me up for the rest of the day and the potatoes melted in my mouth. Get my stitches out the day before Thanksgiving and then on to mushy. If I can do this anyone can, its been really hard but with be worth it. I feel great :)

    Very nice. Can you use a straw? I was banded 7/30 and still can not use them. They do something to you with filling you with gas. Something like that. Maybe ask. Good luck.

    My Nutritionist suggested using straws - she said you get less gas with the straws vs. drinking from a cup - go figure!
