I had a great visit with the Dr. I went in stepped on the scale and it showed 239. That's 9 lbs heavier than my scale after my shower. I went into the room depressed. After a couple of mins I went back with my shoes and arm brace off. This time it showed 233. 3 lbs different from my home scale. That reading I will take. I asked what my weight was when I came in to start all of this on Dec 13 2008. It was 241 now 233 down 8 lbs in lets say 6 weeks and 5 days. One of those weeks being on a liquid diet.

 

Ok, I get looked over a few questions go back a forth, he's in a hurry to get me out cuz others are waiting. I tell him I am starving, he did not want to hear it do not have a since of humor I guess. Then comes the good news, he says skip week 2 go to 3 soft foods, next week go to 4 solid foods. So now I can eat everything from week 1, 2 & 3 till next week.

 

He said he had to repair a hernia? Was this something I already had and did not know it?

 

First thing I do is call mother ask her to make me a gumbo. I go there for lunch and have gumbo broth with a microwave bake potato. Thought I was done with the broth, all in all it was a good filling meal. Now I am worried if i will be able to keep it down. It stays down I feel much better.

 

I am worried about eating the wrong foods and when to drink and not to drink, I would like to hear from others on what soft foods to eat for now and what solids I should eat starting next week and what to stay away from. . I get my first fill Feb 25 2009. Hope I can keep from gaining any weight by then, would look bad if I go back to my start weight wouldn't it.

 

I before he rushed me out I think he said my band is 11cc. Looked at me strange when I asked about it. I'll keep posting from time to time. Hope this info helps someone. I could not find this kind of info when I was looking for it. I am still looking for play by play info on how to eat properly, and keep on track.
