I'm going to do mash potatoes. the first two weeks is rough but it's only 14 days out of my life. Good Luck

I'm sorry about the band slippage that would be hard. As for the liquid my doctor has me on full liquids which includes cream soups they fill me up quickly, I put peanut butter in shakes because having only 200 calories a day was draining me. I was told anything that fits through a straw. I dont really mind drinking my meals i did the slim fast thing forever. But to get full quickly i add unjury protein to my 4 oz shake first thing in the morning and that keeps me going until 1 or 2 in the afternoon. For lunch i have 1/2 cup of cheddar soup or anyother cream soup. some cream soup i have to run through the food processor, like the cream of chicken and mushroom. at night i have a shake 4 oz or another soup. this is the first time in a long time that i have been able to feel full on only about 1 1/2 cup of food! i'm really excited about it and have been losing one pound a day! So dont give up and dont cheat, i dont know how you would be able to anyways i get full really fast.

So I've got the lapband and had some running pudding. it made my stomach upset. sometimes milk protein shakes do to. i dont understand what is happening? I've always loved dairy type stuff without issues. now i cant even think of pudding anymore.

pizza soda are no no's! i would be afraid of what that would do to my band and body. I wouldnt want to have a surgery to have the band removed because i overate or something got stuck. even with little restriction you can still stretch the small pouch. you've come to far to give up now! Think of all the money, time and effort it takes to even make it as far as you have! you can do it just make better choices right now. and everyone doesnt follow it perfect i'm sure but it's nice to at least try and know you did try. :thumbup:

I would get rid of the candy i made sure when i gave it out it was all gone by the end of the night. as for the kids candy it's like stealing from them so i dont. and i'm trying to get them to eat it quickly or take it to school and give away. think of the hassel it is to get lapband. it's a serious surgery that cost a lot of money. you have to go through the first couple of weeks drinking nothing but stuff like protein shakes and broth. and if you think about it, we all have problems with following any diet so this took a lot of self control which you were able to do. so this is just a mild mishap and do better today and tomorrow and days after. i think of kit kats getting stuck in the port that would stop me along with all the other candy i like during this time. Dont let the time and effort put into the lapband go to waste! it's to much work for that

Why do some people have different diets than mine? i'm allowed full liquids as long as it fits through a straw. so i have pudding diluted with milk, yogurt diluted with milk, protien shakes etc. was only on clear liquids like the first day. i also want to know when you know for sure you are full in this stage?

How do you get all your water and shakes in one day?

It's been rough for me too. I dont have any coughing and have to force myself to cough per doctors orders. I do this by holding a pillow to my stomach and coughing as hard as i can which isnt hard. it's important to get that stuff up from your lungs. I had the surgery on thursday and it's sunday and i'm still on the couch for the most part. i get up to walk around and make my shakes but i stay down. i'm in a lot of pain and the port site is starting to really hurt depending on what position i'm in or how i move. if i dont turn or sit up really straight my port side doesnt hurt as much. I can only take a few ozs an hour. Water is going down easier today and i still have room for the Protein shakes. i'm still not up to 64oz and i dont think i will ever be able to do that. I would have to be up drinking and sipping 24/7. i drink my water with a spoon until my stomach feels uncomfortable, i eat my shakes with a spoon and go very slowly. once i feel full i stop. the point is to not make the stomach work to hard so take it SLOW. i find i think i'm really really hungry and after a few sips of shake i'm full. hope this helps

i was banded on oct. 28 wed now it's saturday and i woke up with upset stomach. didnt puke but was really uncomfortable.:thumbup: All night i've been having food dreams, mcdonalds, subway, pancakes but i'm not feeling hungry yet. it's just weird!

I take the vitamins at night and the synthroid in the am that way i know they are far enough apart from each other.
