Yes Jeni! We are sisters. I did everything you are doing and still do sometimes..I too haven't had a fill but i just get up and keep going. You will get better and you will feel better. I know it is hard to not fill guilty because I feel the EXACT same way...You are not alone! We will get better..

Beautiful,brillant very vivid story...loved it, and keep them coming...

Congratulations on getting yourself back on track...I love your honesty!

You will be fine..Congratulation on making one of the best decisions of your life!

Thank goodness i go to the doctor on thursday...my first appointment since the surgery. I hope I get a good repoire.

no matter how much you ranted/raved, I loved your post...Keep them coming, they are so different from others I have read...trust me the craziness comes from not being able to eat..

Good for you..It sounds like u are doing great! Thanks for your comments!

I might need to go i to the doctor to see if i need shots myself! Well i go for my appt this Thursday and i do have a bad rash too...awful...Thanks for posting a reply.

Ok so today I am back on track and not trying to eat everything darn thing in site. I am back to my protein shakes..and i have changed the kind I am drinking..I am on the boost high protein, it fills me up better and makes me last longer. I find that it's smaller but with more of a kick! I will have one for breakfast and lunch and dinner and then one slim fast and some applesauce for a snack..I am drinking sugar free lemonade and water in between. I have sat alot around me here at work,(where i am now) and I am feeling better about this weight losing thing. It gets hard when you have to cook for your family and not be able to taste everything but i remember that I am getting a second chance to a healthy life and inspirational notes from everyone here, so i keep striving... God is good and he is reaching out to all who helps themselves..This is our second chance and we are walking together girl...Good luck to you. Starting walking again today too and watching my SODIUM intake, it can be a breaker! I felt like a pig after eating this soup with so much sodium in it...Watch that everyone!! gateyboo

Thanks for posting Ang...You are doing very well! Congratulations..I just this weekend took off my steri-strips, they were causing a rash from the itching around the healing area for me. I was itching something awful. I am so glad you are doing well and I have heard from someone who had the surgery on the same date I did. Oh don't worry about saying to much information, nothing is too much on this site..LOl..We all talk about anything here and it's ok. I don't think it's awkward though, because i didn't have one until I had some mushie mashed potatoes... Keep in touch... p.s. Delta British Columbia?? Your location? How exciting! Let's keep in touch...

Super bowl is on and i am tasting everything on the table...I am not even getting sick. I had to come on here to give myself a reality check...Stop it girl...get your azz on track... To be honest, I had been able to taste alot of foods and haven't been hungry sometimes or even thristy for the protein shakes...I know it's not good but sometimes i feel like i can't help it. I am only 11 days post-op and getting out of control...I need a fill!!

To all the 23 of Jan bandsters, How are you guys doing? How are you eating? Any problems? Please share with everyone. As for me, I AM EATING WELL,and not ungry at all. I sometimes get to where I am not hungry and forget to drink all the shakes i need because of workiing, and then when i get home, I eat small bites of food that i cook for my family.:Banane20: I sometimes feel guilty because I don't do right but I do take my vitabrand Vitamins and i feel ok again...But i am able to eat anything...Is this bad? gb

How are you doing? We were banded on the same date. I am able to eat just about what ever i want too and it hasn't been two weeks post-op! How about you? I am full early but still eating...

Yes i have cheated...My body was so dizzy and my leggs would shake all over the place. I did the liquids for about five daya post-op and then went straight to the mushie stage and then kinda of still here...It will be two wweks post-op wednesday....I am still eating/losing but i am not hungry and i needed to go back to work five days after surgery, so i did what i had to do....

Good for you Dazzle..We are in the same boat...I am even back to work now girl! I am writting this message from work. I was banded on the 23rd..I came back on yesterday...It does help when you get up and get moving...Good luck to you.

I guess after cooking for my family and watching the food network allday i wanted soooooooooo bad to eat something...so i just slowly ate some crackers along with my broth...it was somewhat satisfying but i still want to eat more...I won't dare do it though... My husband was upset because i did eat a cracker, but oh well...I won't get on a scale yet because I want to be surprised after a week long of doing this again... I am kinda of sad because of what my life will be like w/o eating but i will atleast get to taste samples so i am getting over it. What i must learn is to eat things of quality that satisfy me and i will be just fine... Not much pain today but along side my port...hard to raise up out of bed with the pain,getting better.. I do better at night,not wanting to eat,afternoons are my hardest....I think it will get better,once i go back to work..

me too Alfie...I was banded on the 23rd....I am on clear's too,but I added a small jar of baby food mixed in w/my chicken broth...so good. It went down like liquid too. I also just ate four saltine crackers really slow until they were pretty much like water...oh yeah and i am drinking lots of water too...I know i should have more water, but i am moving in the right direction...Good luck to everyon here!

I'm feeling pretty good. I am however pretty sore where the port is,and no where else. I can lay pretty much anywher,exept close to the womb where the port is...hurtful:frown:. Other than that, i feel good! I ate today some broth, mixed with a jar of babby food. Turned the liquid into sweet potatoes w/chicken...yummie:smile:. It was not thick at ll,jst felt like i was getting more in my stomach. Pretty good idea i came up with. Well be back later..
