Hi I had my surgery on 1-8-08 by Dr. Mckeen. He is awesome!! I am a slow looser also, but its okay with me, at least I'm loosing!! Hope your doing well! I have not had a fill as of yet, I have great restriction from the fill he gave me at surgery. Have a great weekend!

I had surgery on the 8th, I was terrified. I hate being put out, only one other time was I put out and I was not happy I had to do it again. Just talk to everyone, let them know how you feel. You will be fine, they take great care of you. I was pretty nausiated when I woke, and they gave me meds and it worked great. Other then that, I was good to go. I came home with an hour. Make sure you get a perscription for nausia meds so you can have them ready for you when you get home, it will come in handy!! Nausia comes and goes for the first few days. It will be over before you know it!

I'm on mushies too, last night I ate a taco from taco bell. :/ I chewed it to smitherines, it was a mushie when it went down. But I felt bad afterwards, I have been a good girl today. I know I should not have eatten it, but I did.

I was banned 1/8/08 I have not had my first check up after surgery yet, they said if Im doing fine, there is no need. I did not have a pre op diet, so the only change of food took place after I had the surgery. At this time I am not getting too hungry. At my normal eating time, Breakfast, lunch, dinner, but other then that I'm ok. Im on muchies/soft foods and so far I have lost 8 lbs, not much, but this is suppose to go slowly so I guess Im doin okay. Got to call to see when I get to eat solids ...... good luck!!

I'm in San Jose and my doc is Robert McKeen.

My last day I ate my normal breakfast, I don't think I had any lunch but for dinner hubby and I had a nice juicy steak, baked potato, and steamed broccoli. It was great, I did not stuff myself and I know I can have it all again when I am on solid foods. It was delicious! I did not want to stuff myself with junk, I am not a big junk food eater. I do love certain things tho, as we all do.

Hi all, I'm new here. I have been drinking lots of different things, it keeps me pretty satisfied. Soups, clear and full, watered down refried beans, yummmy v8, sf jello, sf fudgcicles, buttermilk, protein shakes, w/peanut butter for more protien, won ton soup broth, all the cream soups. I cant wait to the mushie week, but truthfully its not so bad. I have not lost much weight as of now, my dr says this is the time to heal not to loose weight, so Im not worried. I was banded on the 8th.

i had my surgery on the 8th and I am still in alot of pain :eek:
