Woot woot!!! Way to go my friend!

....Also, you can add a couple of packets of splenda if you need to sweeten it up.

Chobani greek yogurt has 22 grams of protein per half cup. 1/2 cup of greek yogurt, 1/2 banana, 3 or 4 strawberries handful of ice, splash of milk or water, blend and strain, YUM!!! I hate the grittiness of the Protein Powder and it is expensive. You can do almost any flavor with the plain greek yogurt. Good luck!

I bought some crackers, but haven't had enough courage to eat any yet. Maybe in a couple of weeks!

Hi all, I am 8 days post op and I started my mushies this morning. I made 2 very soft scrambled eggs with a tiny bit of low fat cheese and some Sugar Free chocolate pudding. I only made it through one egg and finished 1/4 cup of my pudding. The eggs went down fine, but I was a little nervous eating them. I still don't really get hungry. I just make sure that I eat 3 times per day. I'm still having trouble getting all of my Protein in. The Protein drinks are so filling a disgusting. Hopefully I will be able to get more protein in the foods that I eat now that I am on mushies. I am thinking tuna with low fat mayo for lunch. My menu plan has low fat crackers on it for the mushies stage. How is a cracker a mushie?? Did anyone else eat crackers? How's everyone else doing on mushies? What are some of your favorite, easiest mushies?

I tried the refried beans for dinner tonight. They were delish! I also was able to get all of my protein in without having to drink any nasty protein shakes today. Yay me!!!!!

Yummy! That sounds delish. I will give it a try!

Use the quick cook oatmeal, and then add brown sugar and cinnamon in moderation. Brown sugar has very low calories per teaspoon. That's my fave!

I just got mine done on Friday, February 17th. I am five days post op. So far, so good! My surgeon has actually been doing it for a while. Good luck to you!

Hi, I had my band surgery on 2/17/2012 and I was in pain from the word go. It was very hard for me to get up and down by myself and felt like my stomach muscle was being ripped out. I took it very easy the first several days and am off work all week. By day 3, I felt alot better and by day 4, I was like a new woman. Today is day 5 and I can get up and down as many times as I want with little to no pain. Each day will be better than the day before. Good luck!!

Hi all, i had surgery on February 17th, and I was wondering if today (the 19th) is considered 2nd day or 3rd day post op? Help!

I also had my surgery on the 17th. How are you feeling?

Thanks everyone. I have spoken to my Dr and he say that this is day 2. I don't have any appetite at all and am not ready for full liquids. I still can't even do jello. It feels like it gets stuck going down However, I feel so much better today than the past couple of days. Getting up and down is getting much easier!

I also had surgery on 2/17/12 with Dr. Woodman at Baptist hospital in Memphis. Small world! How are you feeling 1 day post op? I am in alot of pain around my port area, especially getting up and down. Good luck!
