  1. Sugar Free Ice Cream

    · ElviaXio · 05/29/2009 02:55

    Hi all. So I was banded two weeks ago. I've lost about 21 lbs total so far (including pre-surgery weight loss). So here is the reason I am writing. I hate pureed food! I am kind of sick of it. So it's getting so hard to continue eating mushy food. The only thing I enjoy is sugar free chocolate ice cream. Am I cheating by eating this? I mean, I eat other stuff but I love the ice cream. I feel guilty when I eat it but then I think, well it's sugarless. Any tips, suggestions, feed back?

    Also, did anyone have a doc who said u could start introducing solids after two weeks? I read an article like that recently.

    Thanks for your tips.
  2. So I was banded 5 days ago, I mean 7, wow that was quick. Ok so I am still in pain and not walking completely straight. I mean def. better than right after the surgery but I feel like I should be normal by now. So.......I am just wondering how long it took others to heal. Please share! Thanks.
