I have been kinda stuck on the shakes for breakfast. I'm so not use to eating breakfast so I gotta work on that. I am soooo looking forward to mushies. But I do have to ask....how is the pureeded meat....it just seems the consistancy would turn me off. Now wasnt that clam chowder the bomb?...lol I had some split pea soup and it was soooo good. I am soooo tired of soup. Well about to take the dog out so I will chat soon.

I was told I could have a ammodium plus gas relief to stop the diahrreah...I love that stuff. I wasnt sure about the applesauce thing but i do love it. I have been doing the cream soups for most of the week and got real creative and combined a few..lol I also have started on the can soups..throwing them in the blender until smooth..the clam chowder i had last night was heaven sent! Ususally for b-fast I have a protein shake made with soymilk...its usually filling..then the same for lunch if not some soup and usually some soup for dinner with a yougurt for a snack if im still hungry. I have been pretty good at getting in liquids with the help of sugar free drink mixes. I am so looking forward to the mushy stage which starts next week for me. I also have my appointment at that time and hope to be able to get some vitamins as well as a good idea of what I can and cant eat. Well take care and talk to you soon!

Thanks I think that it might just be a lil bug...I fought through it yesterday because i was soooo tired of feeling bad. Today is MUCH better. I was able to get up and put some clothes in the wash and cant wait to get my puppy back from the kennel so we can take a walk. The weather has been so nice and I have been to sick to get out.

I understand how u feel about the full liquids...I was soooo happy to have some! They make me feel better. So whats ur typical day of eating look like? I find myself getting full really quick thus not getting enough protein so today i think im gonna try putting some baked chicken in the blender...How long will u be on liquids? My doc said 2 weeks so around the 18th i can move on to mushies...cant wait!

Lol i didnt even read this one before i responded...lol im bad about that but I have added u as a friend and hope that u will keep in touch...I do tend to go on and on but im excited about finally being able to talk to people who know what im going through..ya know? So please feel free to contact me as often as u like...i look forward to being buddies through all of this!

Same here..how are u doing so far...it was kinda ruff for me the first few days because of the gas and dizzy feelings that kept me from walking around...but now I'm ok..only that i feel like im coming down with a cold (oh joy)...which makes me feel not hungry...so where are u from?

Hi girly....well Im 28( will be 29 tomorrow!) I have been overweight all my life...so I was really comfortable with it. My husband is in the military and we had been talking about having kids on and off for a while now. I had been putting off the idea because I was soo not trying to get pregnant and end up like 300 lbs.

I have been thinking about the band for about a year now and seeing as how my family has a long history of diabetes, high bp, and etc..the list goes on....I had to do something. I have high bp myself and I do not want it to progress into anything else..nor do i want to take pills for the rest of my life! I found out my surgery date is 3.4.09 so I am ready and pumped. I am just ready to loose the weight, become healthy, and have that baby me and the hubby have been waiting on. Im sorry if i ramble on at times ...so i will chat with u soon!
