Glad to hear you are doing well. I remember how much I wanted something that would be yummy but not the same old soft sugar free foods that I had been eating. I had my husband go to a local restaraunt and buy me a bowl of chicken tortilla soup. I put in a blender and whipped it up until it looked like squash soup. It tasted SO good and went down without any problems. Other than that, I don't really remember what I ate. Hang in there as the worst is over. Are you going tomorrow night for the lapband meeting?? Hope to see you there. Jeri

Hey Jeri,
Well I survived!, banded on 2/18, I was sore and had a hard time waking up post op and getting up to walk. once drugs wore off I was better, I woke up with a fat lip don't know what happened in surgery but it will go down, now 5 days post op I am up and about, it hurts when I have a burp or cough, want to take in soft foods but don't dare, afraid of getting stuck, what type of food did you eat, have any good ideas?

Hey Jeri, you are right you do my mom's hair and her name is Marilyn. When I was looking at the Burbank group I saw you and showed your picture to her and said is that Jeri, and she said it was. Of course I remember you too. I'm glad that you have no regrets. I'm sure I'll see you sometime soon. Spaz

I wish there was a way I could have had this surgery without anyone knowing...
mamabully replied to kristik99's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a hair stylist with quite a few clients. These are people that have seen me lose and gain weight over the last few years. I decided, for myself, to be honest about the surgery. I knew that some clients would be supportive while others, would not. I have no regrets for my decisions because as my weight loss has become noticeable and people are commenting about the changes they are seeing, I am not having to explain over and over again about the surgery. My few clients that had concerns in the beginning are now coming around and realizing that I am a healthier person. I have also been an inspiration to 3 clients of another co-worker. They all wanted to have the surgery but were afraid to take the step. After talking to me and asking many questions.......they all 3 opted to go ahead with the lap band. I feel excited to have this great tool (lap band) that will hopefully give me a healthier existance. Good luck to you all in this journey.
