Hello all!!! Well its been a whole week since my banding. I'm doing much better. I still have the gas pains, but not as much as in the beginning. I walk around my apartment constantly. I'm counting down to when i can be on the pureed diet. Before my procedure i did 2 weeks of liquid and now for two weeks after i'm on liquid. what i wouldnt give to have one noodle in my broth. i know i have to let my stomach heal but my god i cant wait to chew food.< img src="https://s.bariatricpal.com/uploads/emoticons/default_mellow.png" alt=":mellow:" />

I understand exactly how you feel but just remember, there are a lot of us out here who are living proof that it can be done. I can't tell you how many times during that month that I whined "I just can't wait to chew again". I dreamed of which foods I would eat in the mushy stage.

Not sure if you've tried it or if it is allowed, but popsicles were considered liquid for me. I would bite and chew them and it did help me mentally.

One week down and one to go!... You can do this, if I did it anyone can and it is so rewarding when you sucessfully get to that last day!

I know what you mean! It's only been 5 days since my surgery and I would love to just chew on something. Popcicles are great and so are hard candies (although my kids keep trying to steal them....hahaha!).

I actually got my husband to pick me up some chips yesterday so that I could lick the flavor off them....it was GREAT!

I FEEL UR PAINNN! I was banded on the 25th of Feb and have been on liquids since then..well up until 15 mins ago! I simply couldn't wait till Breakfast to begin mushy foods (wat's a few hours right?) so I had a few spoons of ground meat spaghetti sauce...now i dont even know if thats considered a "mushy food" tho...I took about 6 spoons of it mixed in with a bit of cheese. Not the greatest choice i know, i know but I've been doing a month of Soups and borths and just thought hey take it easy tonight tomorrow we'll get back to the scrambled eggs, tuna and pureed foods. it felt like HEAVEN and not only that but it teaches you the importance of Protein that you would have taken for granted before you were banded. Just keep going, ur doing great!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
