Hi P3, I am doing well! Surgery was a piece of cake. We had fun in Mexico. I feel full all the time, or bloated, but not ever hungry. I have cheated on my post op diet, though, and had some salmon last night...it was good, but a good reminder to eat only a SMALL portion, and also DONT TAKE THAT LAST BITE!!!

I am so glad I am a bandster now, and glad the surgery is behind me!!

Hey everyone! You all sound like you are doing fabulously! What's your weight loss to date? How are you all feeling? what's going on?!

lol.

I have lost 15 pounds as of this morning went from 230 pre op to 215.2 today! whooo hoooo!

I am feeling GREAT! I am shooting a wedding tomorrow and went out yesterday and walked my tail off shopping with my mother in law, I noticed how easily it was to get dehydrated. I kind of cheated a little. well, not diet wise, it was a GREAT Protein low fat choice, but the consistancy was a lot more than cream soups! I had the turkey and chic pea chili at panera! SO yummie! I had about a half cup, or about 10-12 half spoon fulls. I tried to go more for the chick peas since I knew i could puree them easier than the turkey. One serving of it is 22 grams of protein and 4 grams fat! I had a few mouthfuls of turkey that had me a little worried i chewed them to nothing, but still they were a little stringy so i was pretty nervous, but it went down ok, and then i just ate around the turkey! lol. I gave my husband the rest when I got home because I didn't want to screw myself up!

what are all of you eating? I am on pureeds now but today i had some corn chowder from wawa and had to chew chew chew the corn...I also got some hummus since my nut said as long as I get saltines or the chicken bisquit crackers, I can have a couple of them with it. I just have to let them melt to nothing in my mouth. I am also going to make some egg salad and beat it with the mixer and tuna and chicken salad too. I am so looking forward to this stage! I have had some soft foods like cooked carrots and chewed the heck out of them, but I am really working on staying on the stage I am in. Hunger is started to kick in though, and I have let me schedule slip. how are all of you doing?

Im eating 3 Protein shakes and 1 can of Campbells Soup run thru a blender per day. Lots of Water too. My doc might yell at me about the soup since he wanted liquids only for 3 weeks.... but as you said... the hungrys are kicking in. The soup is puree'd so its techincially liquid... right?
