I think my xmas went ok. It was my second day of soft foods. I ate a little of the mock souffle that was served at Breakfast (mixture of milk/bread/cheese/salt/pepper), but not much at all compared to what i normally would have had if i hadnt been banded.

Oh and i ate a cookie.. ok so it was a SOFT cookie, but i know that was bad..

Other than that i managed to eat some oatmeal + Protein shake and chicken broth.

How did everyone else do today?

PS I go in for my first doctor's appointment tommorrow for my post-op checkup and hopefully have a new updated weight for my ticker. All my scales in my house are looking very promising in their predictions

Honestly, mine sucked.....

My wife and kids left me to go visit relatives. I did not want to be around food nor explain why I am not eating, etc. I stayed home alone and watched movies.

I had Water, Soup (cream of mushroom), Protein shake (Naked Juice), SF Jello, New-whey protien shot and more water.

Oh yeah - my post-op appointment is tomorrow.

I was worried about having to explain why I wasn't eating, and do you know that not a single person noticed! I was so surprised!! Let me say though - I did carry a plate for a few minutes while I fed my son. There were a couple of things that I had that weren't the best choices, but overall I didn't do too bad.

I did great. I was banded on 12/21. I was not hungry until yesterday 12/25. The food smelled great for the first time since last week. But I stayed on course.

But OH a Christmas Cookie would have been nice!

Hi all,

I think I did good, I overdid it a little. food tasted sooooo good yesterday. I stuck to the soft stuff, except for carrots, I ate a few raw carrots, I just chewed the heck out of them.

One bite of my nephews cookie. That was it. So no sweets for me.

I did fine . . . except broke off a piece of my FAVORITE sugar cookie . . . and only ate a tiny piece of what I broke off because it tasted like sawdust to me . . . so . . . I wasn't tempted any further . . . which is a GOOD thing. I had to pass on the prime rib I cooked . . .but I poached myself a piece of salmon in chicken stalk . . . which tasted like heaven! I get my first fill one week from today . . . so I'm looking forward to that!

I did very good, but I have told everyone, it is kind of cool all my friends and family and co-workers now I have had it done so they are always asking how I am doing. For xmas I had a very small of sweet pot. and mashed pot. and even smaller amout of my favorite broccoli cassarole minus the chunks.I wasn't even tempted.
