I was told for the mushy stage to only have cottage cheese, eggs, peanut butter, mash pot, yogert, cheese or string cheese, pudding, crackers, oatmeal or cream of wheat....I am glad Giby97 u are able to have those foods

Did you A1C level have anything to do with being able to have the operation or not? Congrats and Good Luck..Glad to hear you are feeling and doing much better..

How do you get your Thyroid in normal limits? Hope you best of luck on getting the operation...I am so glad Blondi that you doctor allowed you to get the operation..I wish I was going to that doc...LOL..It seems like their is always something trying to hold a person back from getting or doing what needs or wants to be done...Good Luck and Congrats to you both...

Oh My...I sure hate taking pills..I am Pre-OP I was told to get on a Vitamin/Mineral Supplement and I don't do good with that for when I was preg. with my kinds the pre-natual vitamin made me sick. So who was the operation and how are you doing now? I really am looking foward to the operation just don't the pain/soreness afterwards...LOL

Cool...So Congrats and keep me post on how the surgery went . I am hoping to get banded next month. I went the 12th and got my pysch eval done, seen the dietation, and the nurse and I have everything done but the pre op testing and the nurse said she will call with that info.

I am also a diabetic and I am in the process of getting the band, I am wanting so bad to get read of the diabetes I hate taking the medication and feeling tired and ect all the time. I have two small children and I am doing this operation for them and my self so I can be around longer to see them grow up and be able to do things with them. I gained weight my self after I got married and thats when I noticed the diabetes. So hopefully I can have a great out come like you..Congrats on the operation and diabetes.

Ya, I am really looking foward to the new start but a little scared also it is just hard to think about no more soda or bread for I really enjoy both. My husband is giving me support on this journey. I am hoping that the 12th will be the day I find out about the operation I am hoping to get it before my son starts school. So how bad is the operation and recovery? I had hernia surgery last year (belly button hernia) and girl I couldn't move for almost 2 wks. I will give those other broths and soups a try and keep me posted on new ones and I will do the same.

Thanks, for all the comments and support...I sure need it I have got it in my mind what I need to do and I am slowly trying to do the right thing..I just worry about after I loose so much weight what am I going to do about the extra skin I am going to continue to work out each day and just hope that working out takes care of it for me...So the ones that have had the operation already how much weight have you lost?
