Hi I am 6 days post op on liquids now for almost 21 days - I am gazing longingly at the cat's food at this point - & if I have one more Bariatric Advantage Shake or broth or pudding or pureed whatever I am going to puke!

So I was banded the day before ou and I started soft foods this past Monday and am doing great - can't wat much and am careful about what - but works fine for me. I think they just don't want people to be stupid and try and eat a steak or a chicken - I made very moist tuna salad with low fat mayo I can only eat a few forkfuls and am full - also cottage cheese is great!

It seems like everybody gets different instructions I was tolf liquuids for 2 weeks after surgery and then you could start soft foods - so I started my soft foods 1 week after surgery am losing weight and nothing is getting stuck I just can't eat much and I haven't had a fill yet.

No I'd eat the cat food before puking

I just made some very "wet" tuna salad just a little low fat mayo salt and pepper and feel much, much better! I know I wasn't suppose to do this yet but hey it's not like I swallowe a steak that's going to get stuck. I keep thinking that it's not the fullness that keeps me from eating it is just that I love to cook and eat - I love the whole taste thing and the chewing and the texture I mean for me a piece of french bread slathered in butter is awesome anytime it's got nothing to do with hunger so I am sort of questioning whether I have done the right thing here!

My surgeon doesn't do any fills for 6 weeks
