Wow guys, I am so behind. Page four and I havent said a word lol. Ok. So thank you so much for starting the challange! Yesterday was the first time I was able to get in my 64oz of Water. I've been going to the gym with my mom after work, so the exersize wont be so hard. we do 20 mins of tredmill and free weight traning the abs. I am so happy to be able to have a slice of whole grain bread with three pieces of healthy choice ham and dejionase. People at work are like "wow you can eat real food now" lol. I am starting to feel human again! As for my fill I feel cheated lol. My doctor didnt tell me how much he put in. He just pushed on my port which killed! and then had a convo with me to destract me from the really long needle that he stuck in my port and when the stuff went in I felt a gulp in my tummy. I asked if I had to take it easy and ice my port he said I would be find and can now do anything at the gym. He didnt even tell me about being on Clear Liquids and then thing puree then thick. When I asked him about it he said yes to do that. Weird that I had to ask him about it. Hope everyone is doing good! Susie

Well, I am eating cream of wheat with fat free milk for Breakfast and watered down cambell's select squash soup for lunch. Last night for dinner I used my bullet and put in cooked cauliflower little bit of butter fat free milk and a bit of greated cheese and blended. It was so good like mashed potatoes. My doc said no slimfast no ensure no boost for me. Too much sugar. I got 100% whey Protein from Target. It is chocolate flavored and i put in 8 ounces of fat free milke. I have to have one Protein shake a day for atleast the first month. I had my first post op BM today . I am down to 183. I was 191 going into sugery. and 193 when I first came home from all the Fluid. Since I am a lower bmi bandster even loosing 5 pounds is alot for me. I hope this helps :mad:

Hey, I just got the magic bullet yesterday. I when I get out of bed I am watching a movie now I will look it up or have my mother inlaw look when she comes over later. Susie

I'm home from sugery. Sorry no one likes my thread

I was lucky I only had pain in the left shoulder the day of sugery on Friday.

Angie, Sorry I took so long to get back to you I got home from the hospital late last night. Fingers are crossed for you hun!

Hey guys! I got home late last night. Banded on Friday. Me, my mom and my DH got to the hospital in NYC at 5:30 am for my 7:30 am sugery. They had me booked as gastric bypass, but my doc knew he was doing lapband. Thank g-d, but all the paper work kept saying bypass so it was kinda scary. Things went really well! I was in the recovory room for 2 hours though cause they said I wasnt taking a deep breath my oxygen was too low. I was on oxygen the whole time I was in the hospital and had to use a one of those asthma treatment machines with the smoke coming out I forgot what it is call. Had to do 5 of those. I was told i was going to go home between 1 and 2 pm yesterday and had to have and upper GI between 8 and 9 am first. I didnt have my UGI until 12 and we were waiting for the results for very long. I had to wait for that and then I could finally drink. Once I drank they would take out my cathider and if I urinated I could go home. I would have eight hours to do so. So the UGI game out negative and they let me drink, but there was somthing wrong with my blood test. So, they had to do another later. Everytime I saw the doc he was like y do you still have your cathider in. The dumb nurse kept saying she didnt have the order. well anyways she took it out and I urinated right away thank g-d. We finally got the blood test results back at like 5:30. I got dischared around 7 pm they gave me a happy shot before we left my DH and i were soooooooooooo tired. The ride home was sooooo rough! I felt like when you are drunk and you have to pee. It hurt so much! We had to stop twice to use the bathroom. We went to CVS to get my pain meds since that was the only thing open. I waited for that while my DH wen to get wonton Soup for him and broth for me. we ate I took my pain meds and passed right out. Best sleep last night I had gotten in a long time. At the hospital I only got 4 hours sleep total, all I wanted to do was walk. The doc was happy and said keep walking. I let my DH sleep in the room while I walked he needed the rest and I had the nurses lol. Today was good. I had for chicken broth for Breakfast. I had squash soup for lunch. I had to do two oz. of soup with two oz. of Water. I didnt know how thick it was. My mom and dad came over. They brought lunch for DH and when food shopping for things I didnt know I would want or need. I walked in the morning and then again with my mom. I want to walk now but it is raining :girl_hug:. For dinner I had my first Protein shake and it was soooooooooo good. I have been hungery the whole time. Dosent really bother me though. I have sips of things and it goes away for like 5 mins. The gas hurts, but when I get up and walk it goes away and I am find. my insitions moved so much. in the hospital my port was right under my left breast. when i woke up this morning everything had come down so much. even mike (dh) was like what the hell. I guess the swelling has gone down some now though. Sorry about the long post, i'm sure there is more too. Hope everyone is doing good. My pain meds make me hyper lol. Susie
