Welps I officially turned my house healthy tonight!!! We went to Kroger and got turkey everything (bacon, ground turkey, sausage) I even went thru my house and gave all my fattening foods to a friend who has twins who could use some help!! Today I get to have mashed potatoes sweet potatoes and cottage cheese sooo I am having sweet potatoe fries tonight yum!!! I am one week post op and have already lost 25 pounds (including my pre op diet about 15 post op) and I go back to work tomorrow and I'm feeling fantastic needless to say I'm loving my band so far

Nice! Congrats and best of luck

hi ashleylaray08. congratulations on your new life and the kick start of your weight loss! i hope you don't feel like i am interfering but couldn't help myself. generally the post op diet is 1 to 2 weeks of liquids, another couple weeks of pureed foods, then a couple of weeks of mushies. every surgeon is a little different but it just seems that since you are only a week post-op that sweet potato fries may not be the best choice. please check your post op instructions before you eat them tonight. the first few weeks are for healing. good luck!

Thanks for the concorn I have found that every doctor is different I called the office this morning and asked if I could have them and they explained to chew well and I would be fine but eat slowly so we shall see

That's true. Every doc is different. I was allowed mushies the day after surgery. Always follow YOUR doc's orders!!!

:-)

Way to go!!! I'm 8 days out think we had our surgeries on the same day!

so glad you checked with surgeon and replied. it makes me nervous:)

Just ate them and they r yummy!!!!!!! And I made them were they weren't so crunchy everything went down fine and stayed down

Banded in 8/28 so far so good just really can't wait to have the staples come out!
