Hey hun!! how are you? Im doing pretty good....lost 11 pounds as of today- post-op. get to start mushies on wednesday.....so excited i went shopping for it today!!! hope all is well- talk to you soon. Leslie

Hey there- yep my highest weight was 250. Started the band seminar at 242. I had my surgery on 10/14 and was 220 and now am 212. Im doing pretty good....on to my second week of full liquids and dreaming of week three Mushies!!!! So far the journey has been pretty good, some hunger the other day, but not too bad. I will keep you posted!!! talk soon. Leslie

hi ya! Dr.s visit went just fine. The PA said that it was just a seroma(a fluid filled pocket) at the inscision- no infection!!!!! So relieved!!! That turkey chili sounds really good.....I think I have to wait another week for that, but i will remember it. I got out this morning and got my hair done- feels great....also had a facial yesterday....I figure i need to pamper myself somewhat. Have a great day.

hey- im actually still on what my doc considers "full liquid". however, this includes puree chicken, grits thinned with skim milk and mashed potatoes with skim milk. I found that progresso tomato basil soup with the pureed chicken(eaten separately) is good....kind of like itallian ....if you really try to invision it....LOL. also, progresso cheesy chicken enchilada soup (pureed) is really good too. I don't get to do "mushies" til the 28th. Im looking forward to that.....scrambled eggs, refried beans.....oh, I saw someone say that they eat ricotta cheese with spaghetti sauce on it....they said it was yummy.? have a good night. talk to you tomorrow. Leslie

Continue to think of you!! take good care!!!!

How are you???? Today was a really great day....despite feeling the first pangs of hunger when i first woke up!! Hope all is well. talk soon. Leslie

I am doing well! I have lost 6 pounds since surgery. Today is the first day that i have felt hungry. I got a little freaked out over the weekend because my port incision was bleeding a little and there was some non red drainage too.....i thought it might be infected, but I saw the Dr. today and she said that it was fine/a seroma. Im so relieved.......Im just looking forward to week three when I can have eggs and refried beans!!!! LOL I will keep you posted. Leslie

Good Morning!! I am doing pretty good on the food. Yesterday was the first day that I actually felt hungry at one point. Im going to the Dr. today because over the weekend my port inscision bled a little. However, last night i noticed another spot that was kind of oozey with stuff not the color of blood.....im sooooooooo worried about an infection!!!! that really scares me!!!! any words of wisdom? I hope it's all ok!!!! I have lost 6 pounds though- : ) I will keep you posted

Thanks for the recipe! I don't think i can have peanut butter until week three.....shoot. I too still feel like burping all the time......annoying. Today should be a great day!!!! take care- take those walks. talk to you later. : )

Hey-so is it tomorrow? Take good care of yourself, let me know how you are doing.....message me any time. I will be thinking of you!!!! - Leslie

Hey there- it's post op day 5!!! I have lost 6.4 pounds. Feeling pretty good now. I have the protein shake/food ratio down better now. My port incision site is bleeding a little, but otherwise looks good. That site is SORE....Oh my goodness !!!!!! if you move the wrong way....WOW!!! I have been walking about 20 minutes three times a day - sometimes slow, sometimes medium. Still feel belchy all the time. Had a momment the other day where I felt "have I done the right thing?" , but I know I have- just post surgery jitters i think. I am not looking forward to breakfast, lunch and dinner this week....really looking forward to week three when i can have refried beans......hahahaha. How are things going with you? Take care and we will talk soon. Leslie

Hey there- doing pretty good- tired, sore, and hungry....but I guess that is to be expected. : ) my port incision site is bleeding a little bit....kind of scared me, but its looking better. How are things going with you ? talk to you soon!!!

hi ya- well, after i wrote that last message, I hit a wall of tiredness and blah....which is to be expected.....surgery and all. LOL. What is your recipe for the chocolate shakes.....I too am tired of pudding a jello. take care and here is hoping for that terrific monday!!!! - Leslie

Hey there- I feel pretty good. My port inscision is bleeding a little bit. kind of freaked me out, but have a gauze bandage on it. Im going to try to see the Dr. or the P.A. tomorrow. I feel like burping all the time.....do you feel that.....I think Im being too worried about something bad happening.....ugh......I have been on two walks today...going to go on a third one later. Been off the pain meds since thursday, now just taking liquid tylonol. How's everything going with you? take care/talk soon

Hey there- is feeling the need to belch normal- before, during, after meals? is it still the gas they pumped in to do surgery????

I just went for my third walk of the day...15 to 20min. at a time. I am having trouble getting all the protein in...i think thats why i was so weak today. Im gonna try a different tactic tomorrow. I keep feeling like burping...i guess thats all the gas. I haven't had any pain medicine at all today, but I think I will take some this evening before bed. I will keep you posted.

Hey there- I feel really weak today- can't start protein supplements until tomorrow.......how do you feel?

hey there- congrats on surgery on the 13th. I too have quite a bit of pain especially at the port inscision site. not too much gas pain....keep me posted on how you are doing. good luck!!!! "questions09" / Leslie
