Greek yogurt I like the Fage Greek yogurt personally. Soft scrambled eggs, laughing cow cheeses, shredded chicken the dark meat is actually softer but use the beast if you prefer you just need to boil it longer so its real tender. Cottage cheese, oatmeal, cream of rice, mashed potatoes, (sweet or regular). Overly cooked veggies and then mash them, mashed banana. I did a lot of soups mostly veg and chicken broth. That's mostly all I did. Let me just say this if you cheat you will regret it . Lol!! Your brain will say i can eat that and then your stomach will remind you no you can't. I been there and done that. After I slimed for a while and then threw up I was back on track. Lol!! I'm sure everything will go well for you wishing you the best. Just take it slow. Jenipher

I wish you luck. I am sorry but can't help, I have been banded less than 6 months. Maybe look for a new doctor that does the band or a large city hospital may be able to help you out.

I feel the same way as both of you. There have been a couple of women in other departments that have had bariatric surgery in the past years and this one woman constantly cuts them down for doing something "so ignorant" and " taking the easy way out". While she is about 60lbs overweight herself and pays for a gym membership for over a year and hasn't been there once and says she can't understand why she can't lose weight because she says she really doesn't eat that much or bad things while I watch her come in with Burger King or Wendy's for lunch and snacks on microwave buttered popcorn everyday for a snack!!! BUT this woman feels she can cut down other people that have decided to take control over their weight issues and finallyput a stop to the insanity! This woman is just one of many with the same opinion as others which is exactly why we find it hard to tell the " whole" truth. I would love to be able to be 100% truthful and open as this really goes against my natural grain of being honest and open to a fault but IT IS ME...It doesn't make us dishonest, wrong or indifferent...it's just the society that we live in...a form of self preservation and what we all have to deal with...

So sorry. Now I am glad my doc insisted on drains. They were a pain in the butt and I hated them, but at least avoided this complication. Keep you positive attitude and this too will pass. Hugs to you!

i love reading your blogs. its like i am right there with you going through this incredible with you..thanks for opening up and sharing.

((hugs)) rest up Floridays!!!

Sounds like you have a great attitude through all of this! I hope this resolves itself soon!! Glad you are still rocking that new tummy and boobs!

I make eggs fritata with cheese, onions, green peppers and bake them in mini cupcake cups. Great for a snack too

Congratulations:-) So far for me this is an amazing journey. I am 5 days post-op and when I started my process in November 2012 I felt like my day would never arrive; and here I am recovering and I found this terrific website tonight and I am encouraging someone I do not know. I am still overwhelmed and adjusting but some encouragement I can share is that tonight my family ate McDonalds because I am still recovering and we bought groceries but I was too tuckered to provide instruction. The smell did not phase me and ususally french fries hot and fresh are a weakness but nothing. That was a small victory for me and it let me know this was the right choice. It was thier last cheat night we shopped for recipes out of my Weight Watchers recipe book so the entire family is up for change and it feels great. Good luck for your upcoming surgery and drop me a line if you just want to talk through some of the wait time...been there done that:-)

Thank you. *hugs* back. I'm hoping and praying for the best.
