Not much at all but some. We went out with the inlaws and I planned all day on sometype of cream soup for dinner.

I only had 1 protien shake and a puffing today so that was a total of 270 calories.

Then we went to this restuarnt and the 1st thing they tell me is they have an Italian clam chowder......yuk!.....Then they have the NERVE to bring us this wonderful bread with garlic and rosemary on it. So I had a few bites!....then the thought of the soup made me feel ill so I ordered flounder. I ate about 1/4 of it. The everyone wanted creme brulee, my absolute most favorite thing in the WORLD! So I had 3 small bites.

I know alot of people have lean cuisines and other stuff during this phase. I could really kick my self for doing this but I still think I must be under 1500 calories for the day.

Well this truly was my last supper! From now on we are calling ahead to see what kind of soup they have!

I did discover a really yummy smoothie this morning..Starr try this!

I took crushed ice, 1 cup of fat free diet vanilla yogart and the package of fuzzy navel nectar protien. Threw it all in the smoothie maker and enjoyed every second of it.

Thanks for the smoothie recipe Dianne. Are you feeling better now? You know I need to know what Dr. V said. I had popcorn this evening waiting by the phone.... Must be a BIG BOWL of soup lol. Spill the beans when you have a chance. If you chicken out on monday, let me know.

I am in my 4th week after being banded... So I'm new at all this.. What do ya'll eat, and when your eating solid foods, does it seem like you can eat more than you should? I will have a fill on the 26th. I think I'm really needing one. Also will a fill make that big of a difference?????

Yes, being correctly filled makes a huge difference. Just remember that this post-surgery time before your first fill is no-man's land. It's a time for healing and weight loss, if any, is a bonus. Concentrate on good foods that are on your list for post-surgery. Just what are you eating these days? How's it going?

Dianne, you had better just quit cheating on your pre-op diet!!! Give me your hand, let me give you a small smack...there. It's easy for me to say since I didn't have to do the liquid pre-op. so don't let me give you a hard time. You did choose well, though. Flounder was a good cheater food! (I'm ignoring the creme broulee and the bread...) lol

hehe .. I cheated pre op once or twice too. I'm pretty sure we all do. The nurse even encouraged having a 'last meal'.

It'll be over before ya know it
