Some people are too self important to realize that just because you think they are a total jack hole , it doesn't mean that you're uneducated . I don't think you need a dictionary.....maybe ask for some "know it all" repellent

Just to be clear , I was not referring to ANYONE in this thread with my "old" comment and it has nothing to do with diet or advice, as I appreciate that. I was commenting on a few ppl that take every topic and turn it into a junior high slumber party and all about THEM. I am sorry to anyone that was offended.

Did I say it was in this thread ??? Maybe a general blanket statement . MYODB Thanks

I was not referring to any diet or the way anyone uses or DOES not use their band, but how when one person expresses their opinion, the rest jump in like a pack of wild hyenas when it has nothing to do with them. Congrats Assquil, you must be so proud.

I didn't single anyone out, so thanks for making yourselves known and proving my point.

My instructions say no hot tub or pool for 6 weeks.

Amen ! While I am sure everyone has their own advice/opinion , I choose to leave my nutritional guidance to my surgery team, the guy I paid with the PHD

At this point my only concern is healing properly and having enough calories to provide energy. Once I'm cleared to eat and work out I'll become more diligent. I'm just trying to survive right now

It does seem kind of extreme ! I can understand once you have clearance to eat and chew, but on the healing phase which is so restrictive anyway, I can't see being that strict.

It's amazing how much better you'll feel. My energy was getting really low on liquids and the day I started with the Beans and potatoes.....I was like brand new ! Imagine how it will be to get some real protien, I am soooo ready for tuna next week

The mushie phase list I was given was pretty vague, so I've called my surgeons office a couple of times to ask if certain things were ok. I'm just doing refried canned beans that I've thinned with a couple of drops of Water. I'd say if in doubt call and ask...... that's what your Dr is there for !
