hay JJ when were you banded? have you been chewing your food like crazy?

Its so hard not to think about food especially when we can't have it. I am three weeks post op and my Dr. said its ok for me to be on solids. But I tell ya that first three weeks was whack!! Try diffrent kinds of soups (without chunks). DanActive is great and it has yummy flavors. When you go out, take a protein drink, a Dan Active and a jello, with you, in your purse. Oh yhea and slimfast is good too. I would put it in the freezer and pretent it was a milkshake. That how I got through the liquid phase. Sometimes I worried if I made the right decision but now that I am back on solids I feel much better about the band.

i am scared, somebody hold me.

can the doctor tell if the band has slipped? is it with the Barium swallow and the x-ray. Cuz i am on day 7 and i ate a little peice of chicken, spoon of hummas and some mushie pasta . and i dont want my band to slip. Before you start going off again faith I read all of your entire post and you have made your point. great point! i just wanna know if and how the doctor can tell if my band is slipping.

Hi this is my very 1st anything on this site and I just wanna tell you that that pe-op diet had me depressed. I kept thinking is this what I am signing up for a life of boring foods and hunger. Well its NOT. I am seven days past the installation ;0 and I went to a real resturant with my family and ordered food off the menu ( it was just soup but it had soft veggies and chick). My girl friend who has had it for 18 months said it gets soooo much better cuz when you go out you can eat off the plate for 2-3 days. So stick with it just keep thinking three more days, two more days one more. . .
