I too am 2 weeks out, and just started the pureed diet. I found that I had a hard time too, but than I found out that I just wasnt making it "moist" enough. I am not sure if you are allowed tuna, or chicken but I am, and I make it into a pureed salad with low fat mayo. I also found that I was taking to big of bites, and eating to fast, as I was so used to drinking my meals. Before the surgery my bad points were that I ate to fast and took big bites. So this is something I have a hard time breaking. I found that I put my food now on a small plate, and I use my daughters baby spoon to make sure I take small bites! It worked for me =) Hope you start doing better! Best of luck!

Are you feeling like you are hungry all the time??

I will be 3 weeks post op tomorrow and I am barely drinking protein shakes because I am tired of the taste. I did them the first two weeks as much as I could...I wasn't hungry at all the first week and a half and now I am hungry all the time...I couldn't have the ricotta cheese until now, I am on pureed foods..I have pureed everything from tuna salad to chix salad to get my protein...I live on cottage cheese...As for napping I hear ya...Take all the rest you can get. It sounds like you are doing great...keep up the good work...

Tomorrow is my 3 week date from surgery...I am always hungry..I think it's my old brain telling me to eat, but my new stomach is full...anyone else experience this??? Does it go away with a fill???

I am two weeks out from my surgery and am on a pureed diet. I am eating pureed foods and feel as though they are getting stuck in my esophagus...I hate my hiatal hernia repaired during the lapband surgery so I don't understand this feeling??

I had my surgery on 10/19/09 and it is now 11/1/09. I am recovering great. However, I think I can feel the band, especially when I sneeze or take a deep breath like when I yawn...is anyone else experiencing this? did the band slip?
