No worries on not having the answers! I had my post surgery appt last week, my fill is 1/31/11 which is about 6 wks from the surgery date. The tuna was great! I ate about 1/2 cup I would say? He did not tell me I had to put it in a blender, he suggested soft foods like egg salad and tuna fish, cream of wheat, Beans. Anything that is mushy that isnt going to be rough on my stomach and to take it easy and feel my way through it which is what I plan on doing. The liquid phase really didnt bother me, the Protein shakes filled me up and I am sure my appetite was just lower because of the surgery... but we are all different. I also have a vita mix at home so I made some of the Soups that you can with them and they did seem like a treat even though they were all liquid and in-line with the diet. I did not have any pudding, or yogurt or applesauce. Just Jello, liquids and some sugar free ice pops for 14 days. You'll get through it ... think about you are bascially halfway there. Anyone else ? I'd love to hear back! And Crystal feel free to bounce anything else off of me id be glad to be "band buddies" lol.

Hey there MrsMyers! I was banded on12/14 so it sounds like I am a bit ahead of you but I still have a million questions and thoughts that pop up! Im not quite 22 (32) but would be glad to vent to you and vice versa along the way! Good luck!

Hey Everyone I am new to this board in the posting arena but have been following for a while! I am now 5 days from my surgery and decided to start blogging to document every moment of the journey -- hopefully you'll find it interesting and or amusing at least! And we'll be able to share and exchange info first hand as I and all of you go through this process. Please check me out here www.itsjeffsblog.com --- i promise to post often and wont let you down! I would be interested in seeing or reading anything you have journaled as well!~
