1St Post-Op Appointment

Well, I had my first post-op appointment yesterday and all went well. Dr. Snow told me that I am healing up nicely and doing good. I mentioned that my weight loss had stopped after going on mushies and he asked how much I was eating. Told him 1/2 cup for breakfast, and same for lunch and dinner. Liquids in between. I am not hungry between meals--though I have no restriction yet. He told me I could actually be eating a little bit more than that and showed me a plate in his office that is marked with the different food groups.

 

I went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and purchased 3 plates of the same size, along with a few cocktail forks....but they were out of the small spoons, so I will still be using baby spoons until they get some more in......oh well..... I am keeping a sense of humor about it. I also have a few baby plates that are sectioned too..........but I won't be using those while company is present.... haha

 

I go back in another two weeks for my first adjustment (Jan 25th), so I am pretty excited about that.

 

I really like Dr. Snow, as he seems to be interested in all aspects of how I am doing with the band--mentally/psychologically as well as physically.

 

I am really glad that I did my homework before actually having the lap-band surgery. It has made this journey so much easier so far........

I had my post op appointment last friday. My check up sounds exactly like yours. I have no restriction right now. I get my first fill January 20th. I cannot wait. My appetite is back with a vengeance and I am so ready to be done with mushies. I was banded back on 12/22/11. I am 21lbs lighter and loving every minute of it. Looking forward to even more weight loss in the weeks to come.

I go in for my one month post op tomarow. as soon as I went on mushies about 3 days after that I just got hungery. I was fine up until then. I can't wait untill I get a fill this hunger sucks sometimes. I've lost about 40 so far since pre surgery and i'm happy and can't wait to see what 1/2 of my body mass index willl look like.

I'm also kinda tired of mushies and it has me wanting real foods, but every doc. has their own rules on when you can start.

That is pretty cool!!! Maybe we will be on the same schedule. I go in at 10:15 on the 25th. (I usually pick mid-morning since I live a couple of hours away)

-Workinprogress/Icestorm--I too am so ready to be off of mushies. I am not really hungry yet, but I am ready for something with a little texture. Tuna Salad and Chicken Salad are OK for a little bit....but one can only take so much... And, I have stopped losing since I went on mushies. I have not gained any, but the scale is at a stand-still...............

Caribear--thank you for the well wishes. I hope you are doing good! :)

So glad to see that i'm not the only one who hasn't lost anything once i started mushies...I was beginning to get depressed about it, but guess it's the norm....Good luck to all of you, i have my 1st fill on 1/18 and I hope that i feel some restriction afterwards....
