Sorry for posting so many threads but would mac n cheese be alright for a mushy/puréed food? Cause that kind of cheese sounds good right now it's the microwavable kind by kraft could just purée it?

it might be, I know it is on a regular bed cause fittness lady at the rehabilitation center in the hospital said I could do them on the bed if the floor hurts my back too much but I'm only 3 weeks and 3days post op and she told me way back before pre op I can't do crunches or sit ups til 6 weeks post op but try it (: if it doesn't work try getting a comfy floor mat

it does, I've been told it millions of times, clear liquid diet did suck I wasn't able to get chicken broth down or any broths I could only get water down and some protein shake but everyone is different, it WILL get better :biggrin:

I feel tired most of the time, I take my vitamins and protein, and I know my prob, I can't get to bed at a normal time and I usually wake up 3-4 hours later and it takes a little while to go back to bed then I get up at 9-10 then I'm up for the rest of the day. Could it be part of the anxiety/stress is there anything I could do to relax me? Wish I could take a bath but I don't know when I could have those, wish my bed was as comfy as it was when I got a new mattress (: I could possibly need fluffier pillows, what makes you relax and sleep through the whole night?

I have pain mess that might help with the punched in the stomach feeling but they're like horse pills and I can't take em so probably crush them oh and I burp a lot too and idk why but it's all good (:

Haha thanks, it must be that cause it don't want to go away, did it make you sick to your stomach though? Mine does, did the feeling feel like mucus type of thing?

I'm trying (: I know I can do this and I hope things will better, I know it will be I just have to give it time I tried chicken broth and it was still there, I felt fine this morning but the feeling in my throat came right back, after I drink some Water it goes down then the feeling comes back up and my nose is a little stuffy and it feels like when you have a cold and it's running in the back of your throat if only I could get that out without gagging blegh my feeling makes me feel like I got to vomit but when I do not a single thing comes up, it really feels like mucus more than anything and I've had this feeling since Saturday I thought it would be gone by now and I'd probably feel loads better but like you said it could be reflux but it feels like when you have a cold Thanks (:

okay thanks

ohh is it a pill or a drink like stuff ? I'll ask about it

Sounds good, that's considered a solid right? How could you make it like a mushy? And the meat is usually red meat is that ok? I love meatloaf and it would be cool if there's a way to make it a mushy (:

on the recipies thing in this section on mushies it had a recipie for chili but with no meat, instead of meat it was succini or squash check that out (: I'm going to soon when I feel 100% better hopefully tomorrow cause that sounds good I don't think my mom puts crackers in her chili and I don't think I'm going to have crackers again unless they're like moist cause I had some and it got stuck not fun lol

1. The incissions will they always be noticable? Will they fade? How long does it take for them to fully heal? 2. I have this weird feeling in my throat I think it's like mucus or that slime stuff, how do I get it out? 3. It slightly hurts around where the band is on my right side, could I have used my abs too much when I get up or stretch? 4. I saw someones pic when they got to their goal and the band stuck out, does any body elses stick out? 5. Sometimes when I get up out of bed I get dizzy well I think it was cause I only had chicken broth, yogurt, and mashed potato, so why? 6. There's this guy I know and we finally got together but he doesn't know about me having the band and he likes to cuddle so I worry about him coming across the incissions, I really don't want him to know I think that's all I have for now I'll post more and when I see my dr I'll ask him the more important ones Oh I'm 3 weeks and 2days post op

nice Im getting my first fill September 16th and I'm kind of nurvous

congrats! (: I feel same way but I know it will begin to work hey I started out at 240 last September then I lost 12 then before surgery I was at 220 now I'm at 207 woohoo! Congrats again (:

it's so weird whatever is in my throat doesn't want to leave I had soup and it didn't really do anything so idk how to get rid of it

oh I forgot to say, when I lay down I feel completely fine the feeling in my throat is still there but when I get up the feeling in my throat like gets heavier

I did have a fill at surgery but he doesn't want to take it out since I can drink and eat my stomach pain is starting to go away, the only thing that's really bothering me now is that feeling in my throat like there's mucus or what not in there and I wish I could get it out some how and I'm pretty sure once I do I'll feel soooo much better that's the only thing that makes me want to vomit or pb my stomach isn't upset anymore it just feels like I did a workout. I'm giving my dr a call tomorrow I have 2 incissions and 3 holes to show but I know my mom told me to give it time to heal. I read that it could be my mind too. I'm happy I have it I just never thought I'd go through it the way I have so far, I've been taking my nausea pills but idk why I thought the nausea feeling was in my stomach but it's in my throat but anyways how long does it take for the full healing period? My glue incissions fell off all the way but two and they're looking good and I think they have sutures too school starts September 8 I just hope I'll be fine (:

yeah I'm calling my dr tomorrow morning

yeah it feels like it's at the top but then it feels like it's in the middle I can't seem to get it out and it makes me wanna gag or something it feels weird when I swallow and drink something like it's gotta push it's way down threw whatever is there I've been belching a lot I thought I was going to do a pb but didn't how do get that feeling out I had soup and it didn't go away

okay thanks (:

I'll ask about getting my fill under fluro. I'll have some Soup I want to go to the support groups but I never know when they are so I'm going to have to ask It seems that I worry the most when I get that nausea feeling cause I felt fine for two weeks till Friday night and I really worried bad last night cause it didn't feel right ya know?

Mhm I had a psych eval before surgery I wish I had some tea but I don't have any what about Soup?

i do worry alot and i have before the band too. i feel like i just need to get that feeling out of my throat and ill feel so much better. im going to try to see my doc, did any of you feel like you did ab workout? cause thats basically what it feels like. and i went #2 and it started feeling better but that feeling in my throat is still there i always worry when it hurts in that area where the band is, sometimes it could be a sharp pain and thats when it worry me, like something is wrong. i do stress a lot about it and fear about it getting worse and while im in school

boo, nobody knows i guess ):

I'm 3 weeks and 2 days post op. I don't know why but it kind of hurts. On Friday I ate something wrong and was sick all day yesturday I have that weird feeling in my throat. Yesturday I felt like vomitting but nothing came up, I think I had to do a pb and I don't know how, I have that feeling my throat again I want it out it's probably mucus/that slime stuff. My stomach just feels like someone punched me, all around where the band is, on my sides and in the middle of my belly. I really don't know what do but I want to get checked make sure nothing is wrong, it seems like I'll never get back to myself I was before surgery, I never been like this my whole life I'm starting to lose hope and getting upset that I'll never get back to my normal life, I cried last night like why did I do this to my body, I'm starting to think if I keep getting sick to my stomach to the point of getting the urge to vomit and nothing comes up, it's not worth it, ugh!!
