I had my first post-op appointment today. I was 2 weeks post op yesterday. The Doc said I am healing well and looking good. I have been given clearance to exercise, but no abdominal work, and to move on to mushy food.

I made my first trip to the grocery store since Dec. 24th!! I bought canned tuna, eggs, crackers, cottage cheese, peaches, ground turkey and potatoes. I had tuna on mini saltine crackers a couple of hours ago, and I feel great!! It is so nice to be eating actual food again!!

I go back in 6 weeks, at which point we will decide if I need a fill.

Yeah...that first taste of real food is beyond wonderful....I remember that well...it was the best tuna fish ever!! LOL!

Congratulations -- what a great way to start the new year! Good luck with this next stage.

Congratulation on being banded, feeling great, and EATING REAL food AGAIN!!

Glad to hear that you are doing well!

Keep us posted!

Yes, I remember my first scrambled eggs
