Hi, Lisa!

You got your band on my birthday! Congratulations!!

It sounds like you are doing great already! The first phases post-op make it hard to be creative with what you eat. Just be gentle on yourself so you can heal, and you should do fine.

Welcome to the forum! I wish you a smooth recovery and lots of success!

Hey Lisa,

I was banded one day after you on the 23rd. I am concerned that you say you are only having grits, pudding and Water. Are you doing any kind of Protein suppliments? I am having the same things as you but also lots of Soup. I also have some protein shots because im supposed to be getting in 80-100g a day.

Congrats on the 20 lb loss!!!! :tongue2:

Ive lost 13 since surgery and 9 on my pre-op diet so Im up there on the weight loss too. Isnt it wonderfull!!
