hi Deb... incidently im in the process of adding friends to myfittnesspal and youre there... ive been slow getting around to it.

It sounds about normal for the incisions, but its a pain, lol. especially around the waist area. i dont get my first fill until 9th may. Im a week later than you. its starting to get to me now. lol. winter is nearly here, its way colder and hot meals are all the go. that makes it harder. never mind, after mid next week i can start introducing a little more veges etc to my gruel.. lol. im going to start putting some meat juices in as well as a very little well pureed meat. How did you go over Easter?? was it easy or hard for you??

Judy - Easter went well even thought I helped my daughter with dinner, tough smelling the ham but I didn't cheat on anything. I did have some runny split pea soup, 1 cup, that tasted wonderful! I figured it was pretty close to the consistance of cream of wheat. How about you?

Judy I think I got on myfitnesspal a long time ago but haven't been on in ages. I do "Loseit" on my phone, which is really handy for me, especially at work. my email though is hammy51@hotmal.com I'll check into the other sometime this week though,

we didnt have any family do's this year. i was unwell with flu pllus my mum is ill in hospital in the city. we did have our son home for a week. it was hard enough to cook for two men though, lol, especially as their food is one of the highlights of their day after working hard. i had some moments with hot roasted chicken and corned silverside... but got through it without cheating. i was just too scared to try chewing to be honest with you.. lol. You did well. it was going to be hard i did think, being Easter. usually we have huge dinners here with everyone invited. lol.

Just added you ;)

so.. did you need an email address to add anyone?? i did try and add just using the forum names we have and it didnt work for me. :(

Judy, I also added you!

thanks... i cant see anywhere where your invite has come up, so im going to invite you as well.. im sending it now. judy

Good Morning Every one,

I need some suggestions for mushy foods besides mashed pots. I've been experimenting this week, seeing what I could eat. Was banded on 3/23. I've noticed my weight starting to creep up slowly and that is a no no. I've been exercising with Zumba tapes for the last couple of days, so not sure if my body is trying to adjust to the minimal food and exercise or what. Any one else having issues with slight weight gain post op after starting to eat more solid foods?

ive noticed that my weight loss has stalled. i see my dietician tomorrow, it will be interesting to see what she says. Ive been having slightly more substantial foods, still soup but a lot thicker.

It is an app to journal your food, water and exercise. It counts cals for u. When u add friends, they can see how ur doing and u can encourage each other! I am Manda Gay if anyone wants to add me

what country are you ?? im trying to find you in ''community" on myfitnesspal?? :)

Judy,

I am in USA California. My user name is the same there as on here. Manda gay. What is your user name? I never add by email myself just user name

So .... I got a realize band on 3/9 .... lost some weight right after surgery when I could barely drink liquids daily ..... once I got on solid food all that weightloss came back .... I got a fil on 4/12 .... AND .... the scale is back down this morning!!!! im so excited!!!

so.. did you need an email address to add anyone?? i did try and add just using the forum names we have and it didnt work for me. :(

Nope. All you need to do is go to friends, add a friend, type in your username (judych1946) then you add the username of the person you want to add ( for example: iluvyogi). It should work. ;)

I sent you a request to be friends. All you need to do is accept or ignore. Please accept ;)

Oh, by the way,forum names may not necessarily be their username on MFP.
