Each doctor seems to have his own version of post-op diet. If I were you I would call his/her office and ask what you should eat.

Greg - what mushies were your favorite...Tomorrow I can start mine? Our Drs are with the same practice, but I like to know what others ate and liked. How long did you feel restriction from the swelling. I just had a 1/4 cup of Soup and am super full. I hope I continue to feel restriction... I got the AP lapband did you have the realize?

To me soft foods take the shape of their container. Put cottage cheese in a drinking glass and eventually it will sink down and level off like Water. Throw in a piece of meatloaf in a glass and it will just sit there in its original shape!I think the spinach is good and good for you!

Yes I had a cup of Soup and im stuffed. The only problem I have been having is I been craving for other real foods and been doing bad I just got back on track yesterday. I had to rewind my thinking and do the right thing. Anyway I went and bought like those cups of ravioli, easy mac, and some baked fish that you can pop in microwave. i got those for lunch becuase the store I went to didn't have any catfish and I love baked catfish. I wanna have that with spinach or salmon anything soft is what my cousin said and she even said to make sure you chew that up well too.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
