Boy I sure hope it passes soon cause the way I am feeling right now I could probably deck him. LOL! Another question where do I go to. Can gorge my height. I see that on here I am only 3 feet tall. That is along way from 5'7"

Another question I am so very grouchy. Every time I think my dh hasn't done something the way I think he should I really tear his head off. Is this normal? He has gone to pick me up some unflavored protien that I can put into my soups, not getting much right now, could that have something to do with the way I am right now?

Everyone is correct I never should have gotten on the scales told everyone that I am still swollen and have gas. I am still on the full liquid diet for another week, them I start the puréed diets. My paperwork does say if I can tolerate the full liquid diet after 8 days I can start stage 3 but I will probably stay on stage 2 Yes I do need to call the doc, I had a cough for 2 months before the surgery finally got rid of it and now it's back. Thank you everyone for your responses.

I have told myself I am going to weigh myself only once a week, and that day will be on Thursday, the same as the day I had surgery. We'll as everyone knows this is Thursday and I weighed myself. I just can't believe it I only lost 1 lb and 4 ozs. I hardly eat anything at all and I can really tell that I am losing. Could it be that my stomach is still swollen and I am just now starting to (Pardon Me) but pass gas. My husband guessed I had lost 10 lbs and my sister guessed 19 lbs but no way. Now I have a. Stupid cough and took some cough syrup this morning and was so so sick to my stomach, didn't throw up but thought I would, just can't eat anything so far, doing good to keep Water in me right now. So has anyone else been like this? Sorry to be so yucky with my message! Oh I am only a week post-Op. verna2197

Now see I don't understand I was told not to drink thru a straw on account of the air bubbles causing gas.

Progresso Light Creamy Potato Soup With Bacon and cheese Put into blender/bullit/vitamix or whatever and puree, pour into a bowl and sprinkle fat free cheddar on top, throw into microwave and heat. YUM YUM!!!!

Thank you for answering my question and for the welcome. I did figure out the ticker.

So So excited to be on this journey! I have alway been a skinny person, when I was little my parents sent me to a Nurtrition Camp to try and fatten me up. Then I moved out of state with my Dh, no friends, no job and messed up my back and had to have surgery, then had to have surgery on my knee. As I just sat around I just got fatter and fatter. Then depression sat in and I just kept eating and got even more fatter! We live in the woods on a mountain about 35 minutes from town, and not a very big town either. Anyway I just happened to be in town one day and saw a billboard, my heart jumped, Lap Band Surgery, oh yes that is what I wanted. Am happy to say it took me almost a year but I got it and I am so excited to lose this weight. Went thru all my clothes and have sizes ranging from 12 to 20, separated them and now I will get a chance to wear them again for a while, then they are gone. I want to get back down to a size 11 hopefully. I am still sore in a couple of spots, as it hasn't even been a week yet and boy oh boy does my left collar bone hurt? Don't know why though. I had to do a clear liquid diet for a week before the surgery and I can tell you I am very sick of liquids. Sometimes I feel as if I am very hungry but when I do eat its only a couple of bites. I can't wait to eat real food again. Can someone tell me where do we get the ticker from for the weight loss please? Verna
