I had my surgery on Monday. So happy the day finally came and gone. I've been on liquids and just tried tuna fish salad today went down ok. And had a little egg salad. I drink normal. I try to sip at least I was with the broth. But after do a little work out reaching for water old habits I drink it down. I'm confused with how I should feel. Because I don't feel anything. I don't feel hungry. I eat or sip to stay hydrated. Ive trained myself not to eat when I'm not hungry so its hard to eat now because I don't feel hungry at all. Not even thirsty. I'm so afraid to throw up so I'm really paying attention to how my body reacts. If it weren't for the scars and soreness I wouldn't think that the band is on.

Of course I'm not trying to mess it up. That's why I haven't pushed myself to the point to feel anything bad. I don't want to.

no mam' i know you arent trying to mess u.never want u to think i meant that

...you are doing so great. just let your insides heal...i am concerned.

if in doubt about what to eat, just ring the dr and make sure. just go slow.

you will hear from people who may say its ok, but that them, this is you

<-- I lift things up, and put them down

The reason you do not feel hungry or thirsty is because your stomach is still swollen from the surgery. I somedays I have a hard time with Tuna and I have been banded for 7 months (band being tight somedays). My advice is 1 call your doctor and tell him your concerns and 2 eat only 1 cup per meal' date=' slowly, and drink slowly. The eating habit is a learning process. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Take care & good luck.[/quote']

Thank you. Thank you that's what I've been doing. I have broth seperated in baby bowls ready in fridge. I even drink out of a baby cup. Has a straw though. Lol not the big 32oz like before.

<<<<<----sitting watching patty do her work out while my nails dry.......such is the life....madd bring me a ice tea..

if you are hungry' date=' that is normal. those Protein shakes were my food until my insides healed

the more i healed, the hunger came back

as ajtex said, just because we can eat/drink more than we should, doesnt mean we should[/quote']

I haven't tried the shakes. The Protein Drink I drink is called Isopure. It's kinda like a gatorade base. Instead of milk base. What about working out. When did yall feel up to moving about.

The hardest part of all this is understanding the signals or lack of signals..... at this point you won't feel hungry. It took me a while to figure out the new signals. Sounds like you are doing it right, your just not getting the response from your body that you are use to.....completely normal. As each day goes by your body will heal and you will learn the new signals. Keep doing what you are doing.

Don't rush the working out. Walk as much as you can, but my doctor said no exercise for 4 weeks and no ab stuff for 6 weeks. But as with food all doctors a red different bla bla bla......

Oh. I'll stop with the straw. The tuna was from subway. Two scoops in a bowl. I had the add a little more mayo to make it more wet. I didn't eat it all at on sitting. The egg salad I bought from publix. I'm suprised at how fine the egg was chopped. It was like a rice pudding.
