Week #2

I am new to this whole blogging thing, and very excited I found this website! Today is my 2 week Anniversary! I was banded on Oct 22nd, and am now down 17lbs since my surgery date, and a total of 32 including pre-op. I am just starting the pureed stage of my diet, and I must say it is easier than I thought it would be. I thought for sure I would feel food get stuck, but I am not. Which is scaring me and I am thinking that I have NO restriction and I am stretching my pouch. Is this normal? I mean I feel full, but there is no difficulties really. Also....what did you guys eat for the pureed stage? I have an "outline" but I need some ideas! I am very excited for my new journey to begin. I won't get my 1st fill till dec 7th, and I am more inflammed than they want me to be, as they said they had to dissect a lot more muscle than they wanted to. So I am still in some discomfort. For the 1st time in my life...I have too much muscle for something! :smile2:. Any advice for the weeks to come would be great! I am going to try and be good and blog often!!! Best of luck to everyone!:wub:

Have you ever had vomiting with the flu?

Hi guys! I wish I was writing for a better reason, but I got the flu. The one thing they tell you to try and avoid!! ( like you can do that!).....I have been vomiting for the past 24 hours. I actually ended up in the hospital for severe dehydration from loss of ALL my fluids. They tried to do an IV 4 times but I was so dehydrated they couldn't get it. My question to you is have any of you been sick with a GI bug like this to the point of vomiting. I know that vomiting is NOT good when you have the band, and they did take an x-rays of the band and said that it is VERY inflamed from the puking, but I begged them not to take out my saline. I don't want to go weeks with no restriction. So they left it in but told me if I puked anymore I was going to have to get it out. Has anyone had this issue, and what happened? How did your band take it? On top of worrying about the band...the thought of food makes me dry heave....so I am defiantly not getting my nutrition in, but all I can handle is water. Ugh!:thumbup:
