  1. Happy 48th Birthday RPT!

  2. Happy 47th Birthday RPT!

  3. Yes, very small slice. VERY thin crust and didn't even eat the crust crust BUT ... I haven't had my first fill yet. I expect much of that to change once that happens next week.
  4. Hi all ! When can I introduce a salad to my diet? I'm almost to 4 weeks, but my Dr. was very aggressive with the diet. I moved from liquids to mushies with 5-6 days and last week started solids. Was able to have a small cheeseburger (no bread) and a half-slice or so of thin (very thin) crust pizza. Banded July 12, haven't had a single ounce of trouble. Other than getting that feeling in my chest when I tried bread, no issues at all. I know some people have trouble with the lettuce so I was just wondering when I should re-introduce salad to the menu?? And is there anything to stay away from? Thanks!
  5. Just wondering how many grams of Protein per day everybody shoots for? Is there a minimum I should be gunning for? Dumb question, but is there also a max??? Thanks in advance everybody !
  6. Hey thanks everybody, much appreciated ! So cool to be able to come on here and share experiences and get first-hand, real-life replies!
  7. Good morning everybody, first-time poster here, happy to have found this forum. I was banded exactly a week ago today, July 12, and I feel great. And that's my question -- am I feeling "too" good???? I had a great surgery day, no issues at all. Other than feeling sore the first few days while getting in and out of a chair or out of bed, I have had no pain and no problems with any of the incisions. I think I have 19 of the 20 Vicodins left in the bottle, which seems weird when the nurse told me as I was leaving "Don't be stingy with the pain medication in the first couple of days," so I was expecting the worst. I have not vomited once in the whole seven days and my doctor is very aggressive in terms of the diet -- I started on liquids, ice pops, broth, but within three days he had me on pudding and as of last night I was moved on to the mushie stuff such as scrambled eggs, oatmeal and yogurt. I do my best to drink my fluids, I have been consistent in keeping my calories between 700 and 1,000 per day. I actually called him up at one point and said, "Is this band really on or what???" So am I doing something wrong? Having monitoried this great forum both pre-op and post-op, I just wonder if I'm feeling too good and should I expect the other shoe to drop at some point (like, maybe, my first fill? Which isn't until August 10) Any insights are greatly appreciated.
