Wow. Haven't been on here in a while! Site looks different! Need to start checkin' in more often. I have my 5th fill on Thursday. I didn't feel restriction till the 4th one which was in October. Things are progressing, but very slowly.

Hi Hon! I haven't been on here in forever...The cake incident sounds horrid! I was bad (in a way)...I tested out regular food during the very beginning of the mushy stage and had no problems...I have ended up being able to eat pretty much anything for the last two weeks! No issues aside from it occasionally getting kinda stuck, but each time I sipped liquid and within a few minutes the food went down. Each time it's happened it's been because I wasn't paying attn (just sat down with a plate of food in front of the tv) and just took too big of a bite without chewing it enough. It's a HORRID feeling though, huh? The other night I thought that I might have my first vomit episode because it was taking a long time to go down and I was really uncomfortable...You try to burb because that's kinda what it feels like you need to do, but usually liquid just seeps up when I do that. It's weird.
Tomorrow I get my first fill. Boy is my life gonna change.

Today I waited waaay too long before eating lunch...It was 3:30 before I had time to! Then when I did eat, it hit my belly like that 4 ft drop you are talking about...My nurse (he did my checkup and will do my fills) said that we get that rock in our belly feeling because we are eating or drinking too fast.
I'm due to get my period in about 6 days...I had a HORRID day on Monday and sobbed on my husband and then when I looked at the calendar I figured out why! Since then it's been much better...
I had to do 1 week of liquid, now I'm on my week of puree (though I'm pushing it at times) and starting Friday I start the next week of mushies. I can't wait!!!
Tuna sounds so good...I couldn't have that water that it's packed in in it though! Man, I drain that stuff and then squish my tuna with a paper towell to make sure it's gone! It makes it too fishy too me...
How are you today??

I haven't been on for a few days...finally getting a chance to check in!
The pain in my side is almost completely gone and I'm trying to remember to use the Fibersure, so it must be working...I am a bit more regular than before (when I just wasn't going!)
My incisions are pretty good. Two have a little scab left...One of the small ones has no scab left and just is red like the scar tissue is starting to form. The one on my belly button is kinda the same...Reddish from healing/scar tissue, but no scab left.
I ate some lean chili yesterday. I couldn't help it. I had pureed some the night before and it sucked, so I just chewed it a lot. I did pretty good. It kinda felt like I had a rock in my belly, but not as much as EVERYTHING felt that way a week ago. I also took one bite of a roll the other day just to see what would happen.... I could kinda feel it I think, but I wasn't sure if that's because it was bread or because I was 'trying' to see if I could feel it. Haha...

I just sent you a friend request
I've had a pain in my left side below my ribs that's been bugging me for couple of days. I asked the PA about it and he thinks it's constipation, so I need to try to drink EVEN MORE fluid! Haha! I stared at him like, 'how can I possibly be constipated when I haven't eaten anything in over a week!', but I guess it happens. I have some Fibersure to throw in things, so hopefully between MORE fluids and the Fibersure, the issue will resolve itself. Can't wait to get to the mushies stage...so done with liquids! I officially entered purees today but even those are no fun! I want to chew!
Do you think tuna will qualify as a mushy?
I don't want to push my limits too much. My husband was talking to someone who's aunt had to have her surgery redone because she 'blew out' her band. I guess she tried to eat way too much and the actual band broke!
Talk to you soon?! Have a great upcoming Saturday!
