HELP!!! i am almost 2 weeks post-op, and i am on "mushy" foods. i have run out of ideas!!! i had eggsalad, tuna salad, chicken salad-- and that about does it!! i have 30 more days of this stage, and i think i might loose my mind!! i am hungry, and i dont want to deviate, but i've run out of ideas and recipes!! also having a hard time with the protein shakes. i can get one down early morning--its 8oz, and i basically drink as fast as possible...

little frustrated today!!

wow! i also feel like i messed up already, and possible overate, and thats why i can eat so much more than expected! i keep fearing that i busted the sutures holding band in place.. but in all honestly, i am sticking to the mushies.....so idk??? hopefully surgeon will have an explanation. puzzled, and anxiety is setting in!

ok, so i had my surgery on 1/12/10. eveything was excellent!! minimal pain after surgery, and i had a single incision lapband. yey!!!! soooo whats the problem? well, i was told at post -op, that my stomach is like the size of my thumb, and that i would only be able to consume small amounts of "mushy" foods. not the case here!! i left hospital really hungry. i started eating the approved foods, but i feel like i can consume more than i should, and i'm not feeling "stuffed" or uncomfortable. i stop eating because i know i shouldnt push it. i would really like to know if anyone else is having this, because i feel like i might stretch the band, before i even get to use it!!! let me make it clear that i'm DEFINATELY not eating like i used to!!! for example this morning i was able to eat 2 soft scrambled eggs. i feel like i shouldnt have been able to finish--but i had NO problems. i see my surgeon for my follow up visit wends. but i was curious if i'm the only one feeling this way.

i had my surgery 1/12/10, and i also have a burning feeling and kind of pinchy feeling aroung incision. i had a single incision, but i think i know what pain you are talking about. i would call doc, to ease your mind, but i think your just healing. good luck to you!!
