AWESOME!!!

Glad you're doing OK.

If you dont mind me asking.

April, we have the same surgeon. What happened this weekend?

WOW! A few Vegas people here. I am in Vegas too, banded Jan 24, 2013.

I was able to sleep in my own bed right after surgery.

Awesome man!

LOL I am on day 16 post op and still kinda cranky.

WOW! We were banded the same date and I am still on pureed diet

I mix my protein powder with chocolate almond milk. It helps me get my calorie intake.

Thanks 2012....I get the hiccups and burps for sure.

Thanks

What is a soft stop???

Mushie stage is soft diet right??? Sorry for the ignorance here.

WOW!!! I guess every diet is different. I cant have creamy soup til stage/phase 3 of my diet. I am still on full liquid high protein stage. I can't wait til Thursday so I can have scrambled eggs and refried beans LOL.

Just a question. Are we going to be crushing our pills (bigger than tictacs) forever after a lapband?

Thanks Tara will do that

Thanks everyone. I am still on high protein full liquid diet I can have yogurt and cottage cheese. Today I had yogurt for breakfast (160 cal, 13g protein), 10 oz isopure (80 cal, 20g protein), 4 oz cottage cheese (120 cal, 11g protein), 10 oz isopure (80 cal, 20g protein), and 8 oz protein shake (120 cal, 21g protein). That is a total of 560 cal and 85g protein.

I had my band last Jan 24. During the pre op and nutrition class, they told us to eat a minimum of 800 cal/day. I have been keeping a log of what I eat everyday and I am having difficulty getting that much calories in me. I am averaging 550 -650 cal per day. The protein is about 60-70 grams/day. Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions on how to up my calorie intake. Thanks.

Congratulations and goodluck!

I was banded 7 days ago and I have been eating cottage cheese and cream of wheat along side full liquid since day 3 post op. Can't wait to move on to the next phase, pureed. One more weeks of full liquids.

Congrats and goodluck!

Congrats

I got banded on the 24th. My first MD appt is on the 7th of February for wound check. I wont get my first fill 6 weeks from the day of surgery.

Awesome!!! Congrats
