15 Days Post Op

[betty20032001 7]

Whats everyone eating these days? I can drink the liquids pretty normally. So much better than the stuck feeling from the band. I am working on pureed now. Seems ok I get full extremely easily. My acid reflux is pretty bad. Its getting worse.

I am 13 days postop and still doing the coffee and Protein shakes for Breakfast and then just Water all day. I am not hungry at all and my doc said if Im not hungry skipping a meal here and there is ok. For dinner I am still having Soups, Water down potatos or sometimes just a greek yogurt. I also get full very quickly, usually with in 3-4 bites.

Do you feel like you still have a band at all? Sometimes with my Soups it feels almost like it is getting stuck, but then I feel fine. I think I must still have some sweeling from where the band was.

Well thats good... the weight is not melting off like I would like, but it will be ok. I do not get the stuck feeling, but I do get the super stuffed feeling really fast. I can eat about 2 oz in a sitting. I try to drink a lot of Water also. One problem i do have is this Protein Shake thing. I get nauseated drinking it. Even thinking about it makes me want to throw up.

Well to be real honest I mix A LOT of coffee into mine every morning. I drink the GNC Total Lean Cookies and Cream flavor. Its pretty horrible by itself, but not bad at all with coffee.< /p>

Hmmmm good idea. I didnt think of mixing. Man it is a little early in the game to not be wanting Protein anymore. Maybe hot chocolate for me.

I just came off a month of full liquid diet from my band problem and I found that Forza Pro has the best taste of many of the Protein shake stuff and it mixes well too. They come in some great flavors and can be mixed easily with coffee or cream of wheat and things.
