ok well you are ignoring me but whatever... thought id tell on myself. i am already eating pretty regularly. i hope that nothing happens to my band. i feel bad about it but everything is going down ok. my theory is this: if i were to stick it in a blender and then swallow it, what is the difference if i chew it to that consistency? i dont know... shitty...

I am doing pretty good. i am eating pretty normal food now. chicken, salads, and stuff like that. everything seems to be going down just fine. how long did you wait to eat normally?

hello are you alive? lol...

yeah i get it about the pain. my port site was so sore. it just eased up a few days ago. everytime i moved it felt like it was tearing apart. ugh... so glad thats over with!!! well congrats chica!!! we are both banded! can you believe it? its hard for me to believe. i am able to eat pretty much anything right now. i go in for my follow up on april 1st (my man and my first anniversary). i hope to get a fill then. but i dont know if he does a fill on the first visit. we will see!!!!

I go for my post op on april 1st.

ok so i switched to mushies at ten days. i could not hang. i have been making sure to chew a lot and take really small bites and everything is going down fine. i had chicken, mashed potatoes, and veggies last night for dinner. do you think that it is bad that i am eating like that?

Hey girly... you are probably out of surgery now! ouch! i hope you are one of the ones who is pain free! if not hang in there. i am so proud of you! its finally here! let me know how you are. i am thinking about you!!!

So what is it... one more day? OMG!!!!

Yes i am st pattys day baby... irish too to top it off lol. so at lunch today i got a scrambled egg with cheese, refried beans with cheese, and cottage cheese. it went down just great. i could not eat much of it but i nibbled on it here and there for the rest of the day and i still have not eaten half of it! yay!

ok i will chew chew chew!!!! ill let you know how it goes!

I go back next monday, not this one but next. and that tuesday (the 17th) is my birthday so they will have my favorite cake... white on white. i was worried it might not go down. i am going to lunch with my mom today. any suggestions as to what i should try? i am going to try mushy food. i was thinking egg and cottage cheese. maybe some refried beans but i am not sure if cheese will go down.

good luck on your surgery and your pre op liquid diet. i am just finishing my post op one and i cannot wait til i am done. this board has good suggestions for the liquid diet as you will need suggestions after a few days. keep strong you can do it. you look fabulous in your pics and you will look even more fabulous in a few months!!! congrats on your journey!!!!! <3 <3 <3

4 pounds. i wonder why? maybe because on the liquids your body was in starvation mode and when you started eating again it horded it or something. that really sucks. you still drinking a ton of water? exercising at all? how did the cake go down? the day after i return to work is my birthday and my coworker called and asked what kind of cake i would want. (they dont know i had this surgery). so will i be able to eat it?

so i got a food processor from my mom today and i pureed some campbells bean with bacon soup. it was good and i felt like i was actually eating something. i am still ok three hours later but of course my head tells me to go eat something. how are you doing?
