I am now 6 days out of surgery and I'm feeling GREAT! Yesterday was my first day back to soft solids. In the morning I ate 1/4 a boiled egg and 1/4 of a sandwich slice of ham. Last night I ate 1/4 of a hard boiled egg and 1/4 a piece of ham with onion&chive creamcheese spread on it and rolled up. This morn I made a can of tuna with a hard boiled egg mayo and mustard. I got two saltine crackers and two spoonfuls of the tuna and was satisfied. Then tonight I cooked up some wild boar sausage and had about inch and half a length and was satisfied. My doc said if i did good the first day with the soft solids STOP on the slider foods and NEVER eat them again. Don't know what my calorie intake a day is but has to be under 100 cause that is all I have all day cause it fills me up and keeps me satisfied. I don't overdo it. I eat a little put it down and chew chew chew. I take my 20 mins to take just a few bites then put it away. I do not drink 30 mins before my meal and up to hour and a half after so I don't wash it down and get hungry again. Good luck and hope this helps someone out there.

I was scheduled for 03/31/2010 but my Docs dad passed away on the 30th.:sad: I am now rescheduled for tomorrow 04/08/2010!:thumbup: Wishing every bander good luck and a very long success!!!:mad:

I have not cheated and my surgery date is tomorrow!! Yeah!! I have lost 27lbs on my pre-op plan too! Just try to comfort her and reassure her that she can do this and this IS the beginning. The lap band is only going to do 50%. She will be the other 50%. Wishing her luck!
