Saw my surgeon today (the hottie) and he gave me the all clear!! Said I am probably the most compliant patient he has so far (Yay for OCD) and at the rate I am going I will most likely be his most successful patient. (now mind you he just started doing lap bands, he prefers RnY and the Sleeve) I don't know if that is saying much as I was # 14 I think he said. He didn't check my incisions cause my only complaint now is the itching (which we all know means healing) and I told him the one incision that looked like it might have been infected is closed and healing beautifully. So he is taking me at my word, but told me if anything changes to call straight away to get one of his walk in slots.

He also told me that I am cleared to mushy foods starting tomorrow. My brain's ocd mechanism wont listen, keeps telling me "nope his own post op documentations said Friday/Saturday not Wednesday." We shall see, I might actually eat the eggs in my egg drop Soup or maybe a bite or two just to see how I do then take it from there one day at a time.

I go in for my first fill July 1st though, I am actually looking forward to it!!

Well congrats on your surgery and the fact that you are compliant, even if it is the OCD "talking".....LOL...suppose this is one of the few times it is good to have OCD???

Also, seems kindof hard to not go to your monthly Dr.'s appointments when your doctor is hot, huh? If he says it is okay to start trying mushies, go for it, just BECAREFUL and do this in very tiny bits.

Best of luck to you.........

Congrats Pix. Can you imagine how hot you will look by the time your DH comes home? Continue to take care of yourself and be proud of your accomplishments.

LMBO :cursing:... Congrats and actually I look foward to going to my Dr's apt's exp. when I know that I have been doing as instructed. This show him that u are not taking it as a joke and that u are ready for a change.... Wow.... that is amazing.... congrats....

Yesh ... It is very hard to miss doctor appointments when your doc is a hottie ... :out::smile:

In all seriousness though I am sticking to this like my life depends on it (and if you think about it, it does) I just got my info packet on the local sheriffs department down here (I am thinking about enrolling in the police academy) and I really want to lose enough weight to go through it and make it through with flying colors IF I decide this is what I want.

OCD or not, I will be doing this right, and no flubs or faltering determination.

And it helps my doc is a hottie :wink2:

Congratulations on your success. I was just banded on May 12, I have lost a total of 21lbs since May 5 which is when I started my pre-op liquid diet. Looking forward to my two week appointment on May 27 to be okayed to start mushy foods.
