Tomorrow's my big day. Cant believe its here already. I'm as prepared as I'm ever going to be. I have everything i think i'll need for the first couple of weeks. I still have to pack my overnight bag for the hospital and put some laundry away. Have to be at the hospital at 6am.

Sending out prayers!!! Everthing will go fine I know it ...... I've been there and done that...... LOL. I was banded May 11th and feel great!! Tammy

Had 1/4 cup garlic tilapia (smashed up) and 1/4 cup diced peaches for dinner. Yummy. I had a few small teeny sips of warm Water with it and took 40 minutes to get through it. Everything went down well. Yay!

Those of you with upcoming surgeries are in my prayers.

Yeah going slow- but it was too much. I thought I would be ok but realized when I got home I had to lay down and all I saw was dots of black n white so I'm resting now. I'm having my first Protein Shake today. I was on Clear Liquids - Water, broth, and clear Protein Drinks Friday and Saturday and today I'm supposed to go to full liquids - blended Soups, yogurt,protein drinks and pudding for the next 10 days. What phase are you on?

Close to the same.... all liquids clear Friday and Saturday.Now today it adding Soup broth and Protein Shakes, Jello and water, crystal light, Popsicle's. I don't add pureed until next Friday

Try mixing low fat laughing cow cheese instead of mayo. Way less cals.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will give this a try, I don't care much for mayo and I really like the laughing cow cheese.

I was told no skin on fruits, no corn because the body doesnt break it down, and no broccoli because of gas. I love broccoli too but with these gas pains I have already you don't have to tell me twice. Maybe later, in a couple of months or something.

The way my doctor talked I don't think I'm ever allowed broccoli. Maybe I need to check. say if it is just a matter of a few months I can handle that.

I'm on day 3 and had cream of wheat for Breakfast (my doc said I could) and it was good. However I feel no restriction whatsoever and feel like I could eat anything with no consequence. I don't get filled for another 4 weeks. Does anyone else feel this way? I'm sticking to the diet, just scared because I don't feel much different than I did before my surgery.

[azhoselady 17]

I am on day 3 too. My doctor has me on liquids for the first full week. Saturday I start mushies...I really don't feel hungry at all. I have to really remember to drink liquids. Sara75 are you back to work? I am off till the 29th and I am taking it really easy. Glad you are doing so well.
