There is an amazing Burger joint across the street from the hosp. I was banded, My lovey dovey sat in the car & ate a burger while I walked out of there, and finished it on the way home... and even offered me fries.... And to boot,today, asked me if I could stop there for him on the way home since I was gonna be down there anyway

I made a soymilk stawberry/banana/blueberry smoothie this morning and gave him a glass and didn't tell him until he was done that what he just drank was 100% vegan & healthy. He too Likes his Ice cream, Potato chips, Junk- Son of a bitch went to Burger king the other night and had the nerve to eat it in front of me.. lol... THATS WHY WE LOVE THEM!

I ended up staying until 5, my boss let me close the office an hour early. Went home took some meds and went to bed. I had a rough 2 days there. But I'm sooooo much better now. I work in a real estate office, so I'm like the only person there a lot of the time.

I can do it, it's just hard when your the only one in the house doing it. At least back then Everyone just left my *nasty sh*t- as they called it* alone. And I hung out with all vegans. BUT I've got the hubs dieting with me and get this- My son metabolically only absorbs 2% of the fat he eats, so he's on a reverse diet. So he's a little skeleten. So it's skim milk for me and whole milk for him and when he asks for another plate of food I give it to him.

Given the o.k for Puree/Mushies about an hour ago... I'm about to make a bowl of oatmeal which I actually craved yesterday...... I Tooo Am CRAVING (like a barbarian) Scrambled eggs with cheese. I was told that wednesday (if I can handle the mush) that I can have it. I'm just looking forward to Applesauce. I made chicken cutlets for the Hubby & son last nice & Risotto was so angry I couldn't eat it. So I think My food of choice when I can start back on solids is going to be a chicken & veggie quesadilla. With mango salsa... I don't know why (I guess cuz I want one now)

I'm for it!. I'm parading the fact that I'm down 14lbs 1 week post op. Just got my bandages off... And I can start puree/mushies.

I had it the day oprah gave it away for free, my whole office went, I wasn't impressed with it either.... But I'm just worrying about the egg first not the chicken lol!!!! My goal is to go back to vegetarianism... I was a vegan when I was a teenager and I was in the best shape then, but then when I was pregnant with my son that went out the window when all I craved was meatballs... and eventually I turned into one!!!

I would give a call anyway for safety sake.

I got the go ahead to do it today lol, I actually asked. My port is under my right boob, I feel it when i wear a bra, it just feels like a mesquito bite (well, I'm severely allergic, so their bites are welts on me) the swelling is starting to go down though.

I have to share I just got home from my 1 week post op visit. Got my steri-strips off, Healed amazingly, the doc was impressed, I CAN FINALLY HAVE THE APPLESAUCE I'VE BEEN CRAVING!!!!! officially on Mushies, and as for the scrambled egg I so desperatly crave, I can have it on wednesday. Sooo 14lb down so far!!!! I'm just amazed, and I give you guys a lot of credit for helping me, even told my surgeon that, and he was not surprised at all... SO THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! US MAYO BANDITO'S ARE A TEAM!!! AND AGAIN THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!!!

If they are really irritating you put a peice of medical tape over the area until you see your doc. I just had my bandages/steristrips removed, he was AMAZED at how I healed, 1 of my incisions is infected, like I suspected, but I just have to put bacistraticin on them for a while.

Well as of monday I was down 10, I'm waiting until tomorrow with my 1 wk post op appt to find out if there is more gone. I feel like I'm pregnant all over again!!! completely like schizo on what it is I want more lol. I'm going to try some strained eggdrop soup in a bit I need a change, and I HAVE TO "eat" something. I'm just so repulsed by clears & liquids at this point.

Is it just me, or is anyone else feeling that even if you sit under a water fountain your still really really thirsty? I have cotton mouth as soon as I put the glass down. I 've seen a few posts but lets complile something here, who else has a desert in their mouths p.s- my throat still hurts from being intubated.:thumbup:

I am to the point where the smell of broth is making me sick. I've alternated veggie, chicken, beef, chinese, miso, the only one that hasn't made me nausious was diluted & strained cream of chicken. And I'm not eating much because I'm nausious. I've been drinking my protein shakes, vitamins, gas ex, pepsid etc, but When the thought of "another round of broth" happens I get ill. Also, just reading other peoples posts it just seems all docs are different. I'm determined here!!! I've already lost at least 10lbs, but I'll be honest, I'm hungry, and even the smell of certain foods is making me queesy. and even though I'm keeping up with my liquids, I'm forever thirsty.

I already am starting to feel some pressure lifting, But the weather has been really crappy the past couple of days, that high humidity misty drizzle crap, so It's been agony for me towards mid-afternoon. Thanking the heavens today is my day off, at least I can take it easy. But I walked this morning reguardless how it is outside, I have no more excuses not to get out and do it!!!!!! after I dropped my son off at school I just went a couple of blocks down and over and then walked home. :thumbup:

How is everyone surviving *lol*?????? I'm hungry tired of broth and want scrambled eggs so despeatly I can practically smell them cooking...... Other then our gas issues, is everyone doing o.K????

1:30pm, but I see him in the surgical clinic... So glad someone responded!!!!! Yeah I was banded last week. Let me ask you something, I know he's really strict about the post op diet, I just want some F*in scrambled eggs or oatmeal **GGGGRRRRRRR**** When did he let you start incorporating mushys into your diet?

Hidden Valley makes Ranch Powder. My Husband is a ranch addict and sprinkles it on EVERYTHING. So you can sneak it in there, though the sodium content is outragious.

I've lost substantial amounts of weight in the past, and My ass has always remained constant. it shrinks a little, but it's still there.and my boobs as well.. I've been a C cup since I was 11, and they just sag more lol.... hense the reason man created tummy tucks & boob lifts!

Who else is from Brooklyn, Recently banded??? The old group is deserted and I know some of us have been in Dr. Gorecki's waiting room together...... Talk to me!! tell me whats up!

Dr. Gorecki did my surgery on the 21st. I adore that man, he has officially saved my life. I've read elsewhere that people were put off by him and his staff, but Jessie & Christina (his assistants) are amazing. I hope you were banded by him too, b/c I can't find anyone else on here who has!. I see him tomorrow for my 1 week post-op. and he's taking my bandages off. PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!!!

Brooklyn, New York!!!!!! Anyone else from NYC let me know, the Brooklyn Group is deserted.... They all met in person, so they don't need the boards anymore. :thumbup:

I actually threw up from the broth yesterday, called my doc, he gave me a suggestion..... 7 strawberries, 1 banana, 1/4 skim milk (or lite soy milk) drop of vanilla extract 4 ice cubes in a blender until thick/runny- Strain it (get the strawberry seeds out). And I'm drinking it now and it's heaven!!!!!!

because we all would have hit our goals by then :crying:
