Tallulah

Hi Jen, I was banded on 11th, and feel really good, except a bit of a sting over one of my small incisions. I'm eating very mushy meals, walking a fair bit, but am still fairly tired. I'm proud that I have so far been able to cook my husband nice meals, but I wont sit beside him eating my tiny portion of mush. I'm losing weight, but was told not to weigh myself for 2 weeks because of swelling. I have only just found this site, and am really pleased to be able to talk to people at the same stage as me, as my one friend that has had it done is 18 months post-op. She's my inspiration, and I am hopeful for the same great results. I'm not doing much housework yet, just lazy, I think, lol.

Hi, I'm 11 days post-op and am supposed to still be on liquids until day 14, but the boredom was so bad, I've been eating small amounts of mushy food. I'm then supposed to have puree for the next 2 weeks, which sounds like overkill, especially as if you are eating soft foods and chewing intensly, it's all going to be pureed by the time it gets to your stomach. I'm about to check out the recipes section here; I cant believe my luck to find this site, as I havent found one for us here in Australia.
