Amen to that! I would be lost without this place.

Thats good to hear!

We can only hope!

Thanks Greg, I'm going to try the fake lasagna. I totally ruined my lovely egg this morning. I decided that it wasn't runny enough so I added tomato soup till I thought it could be sucked through a straw! I managed to eat about half of it but it was not the lovely taste I was looking forward to. I will try again tomorrow. I feel like the money I paid for the nutrition classes was wasted, by the time I get into one I will be back on regular food.

What is the difference between full liquids and mushies?

Ok guys, I need some help. I thought I had this all figured out....guess not! Is the only difference between full liquids and mushies the types of food we can have? Do we still blenderize it to the consistency that it will go through a straw or what? I am so confused!

Wow!! I killed this post! :cursing:

Good luck tomorrow Lisa, we'll be thinking about you. You're in good hands with Dr.Choban. :tt1: Greg, it's tomorrow already...should we have Breakfast now??? :cursing: I am so looking forward to an egg! :tt1:

Good luck Lisa!

I read on here somewhere that if you get on your knees (hold a pillow against your tummy for support) put your head and shoulders down on the bed..floor or where ever you are doing this and your butt in the air...you will look really silly but that it will get the gas moving in the direction you want it to go, up and out. I was lucky and did not have a problem with gas so if this works please let us know.

TM...how are you doing ?? Keep hanging in there, you'll join us soon. Look on the bright side..we are all experts now having been banded for at least 13 days...so we can answer with "authority" any questions that you may have in the days to come. :thumbup: :eek:

Well I guess Monday will be our official start day then..or we could go with Gregs idea and start Sunday.. I'm ready. :eek: Cottage cheese it is on the full liquid diet....I hope, because I've been eating it since day one. Hope I didn't screw up! :eek: I'm looking forward to some kind of an egg.:thumbup:

SpecialK...is it Monday or Tuesday??? I hope you're right but I thought because we started the full liquids on Tuesday we had to wait till Tuesday to start mushies....please tell me I'm wrong..... cause I don't wanna be right!!

A teaspoon of your favorite jelly mixed in is an easy way to change the taste also.

Thanks Greg...I PMed you.

Thanks Greg, the link worked fine for me. Did you get a handout about pureed food before you left the hospital? I suspect that I will be through that phase before I get into a class.

What are Mellisas credentials? Is she a nurse?

Ok .... I found it. That is certainly NOT what I have in mind for me and my band!

OK..I am getting a headache trying to figure out who the afore mentioned asshats are. How can I laugh at them if I can't find them? Would some one please PM and enlighten me? :tongue_smilie:

Has Mellisa done fill for any one else on here?? She told me that she would be doing mine and I gotta tell you that I am NOT looking forward to someone digging around in my belly with a needle.:tongue_smilie:

TM, hugs hun. :ohmy: I'm thinking about you every day. You will be joining us soon. It's just this darn waiting that drives us crazy. Hang in there. It will happen! :huh2:

What's the key to avoiding plateaus? Please share.:ohmy:

Way to go Niki.:crying: Guess you don't need a scale when you're dropping sizes! Krogering wore me out..now I need a nap.:thumbup:

SpecialK, Congrats on losing 4lb. Thats fantastic!! You go girl.:wub:

Happy Easter everyone! :frown: How are the other two amigos doing on day 6? I'm feeling good...going Krogering after while. Still not up to going back to work...tummy to sore for that. I do direct care with adults with MRDD and am regularly thumped and/or bumped in the stomach, plus a lot of lifting and tugging involved. I plan to be off another week. The other day I wrote about how nice it was to have SpecialK and Greg there going through this surgery with me...how nice to be able to visit with them the next day and share the experience. When I tried to post it, the site was having problems and wouldn't let me post, so I'm trying again. I'm so glad I met them here first, so I kind of felt like we were old friends when we met at the Hospital.:wub:
