Way to go my friend! I was banded the same day than you! And today I had my first "normal" day. 1 egg in me morning and for lunch And dinner a little bit of fried beans with sour cream. It was delicious! I didn't eat much but I felt that it was enough to start feeling more energize. My main problem last week was that I was feeling too weak, but as soon as I started eating a little more, I'm feeling better. I'm 14 pounds down since the surgery but I'm assuming this will slowly go back to a normal and more stable weight lost. I'm really happy to hear you are doing great! And keep on going!

Have you seen this video? It made me cry so much!

I'm in love! I found my perfect dinner for the rest of my mushy stage! <3

Oh my! I just had a little but of retried beans lime special, a little bit of sour cream and a little bit of cheese, sooooo goood! And I was full after my second spoon

How many days since your surgery?

Have you seen this video? It made me cry so much! Bravo!

Is the tummy complaining for more food! No today tummy, no today

I did hypnosis with a therapist twice and it helped only for a couple of months (I lost like 8 pounds, that was it). I was so desperate to loose weight that hypnosis was one of the last things I did before the band. It didn't work for me because I'm more physical that mentally, and when I felt physical hunger I ate, and I ate a lot! It's hard to mix things and let your mind overcome your body. I don't think it's totally a waste of money, but is not for everyone for sure.

Less than 1 cup of food, 3 times a day. Good food I mean, because you can get really high-calorie foods with no nutritious value in 3 cups if food

Trikini! I have everything figure out already lol

Leannel!!! I know how you feel! I thought the same thing that it was too tight and the turkey feeling too! Lol but today is so much better, I had my first meal in 8 days, super mushy, and it gave a little indigestion but I was able to eat! (I think i was like 100 calories a day before because i just wanted to drink water, no even the shakes). Before I thought I was going to die because I wanted just water to avoid the "turkey feeling". I promise it will get better!

Poor thing! I pray for a smooth recovery for now on, just take it easy, sip lots of water and rest. I'm doing fabulous now! But first week was really hard! I wish I had more days off work and I was not able to eat a thing (so I lost 14 pounds). But today I eat half cup mushy meal and I feel my energy is getting back so it gets better! You have to have faith the see the light after the first week, but I promise is there! Take care sweetie!

I feel a lot better today! I had a nice night of full sleep and I had breakfast!!! And egg semi cooked and a little cup of coffee with fat free creamer. It feels so good! I'm really happy

So today is my first week after op. So far, I'm feeling better, but first week was rough! I still really nauseous (this is the worst part for me, more than the Gas pain), and I had a couple of episodes that I thought I was going to throw up, but it was a HUGE burp, and it hurt a little. Mostly now, I'm feeling really weak, and I don't want to eat anything, literally. I never thought I would say this but I'm not really interested in food at all now! (so weird). I tried to get a couple of shakes, but after a few sips I was so nauseous that It's super hard for me eat something more solid than Water. I'm having a greek yogurt now, and so far is working it's way, but I still feel super weak. I know it's because I haven't get any foods or Proteins, but I really feel kinda down right now and I don't want to eat 14 pounds down in a week. any ideas to get some energy back? this is my problem now, I'm at work and it's so hard not to think I just want to sleep.

I couldn't eat it! I'm just so nauseous every time I smell something is not a Soup, I tried one little spoon and I had to stand up to get my nauseous medicine. I shouldn't get that concern since I'm only 1 week prep op and tonight I can start my mushed foods, but it feels bad I prefer not to eat at this point, just Water.

I texted my husband immediately after I saw the recipe so he got everything for me haha. I don't feel like eating at all but I need to make an effort and eat some at least. I'm going to disappear in a couple of months if I continue this way

I'm 1 week after surgery and I wish I was a little hungry, I can see a pizza walking next to me and it wouldn't get my attraction lol!

Hello ladies, yes...my hubby makes me walk around the neighborhood every night. It helps, but since I'm back to work and on my desk all day, I'm really unmotivated without energy. I feels so sloooooooooow. Hopefully I will get better during the weekend. Today was a better day though, the best on so far

Yes, my mini lap band vacation is over so I need to work tomorrow. I'm feeling really week right now. I did take my vitamins and I'm trying to eat something (it's being hard for me to eat!) any suggestions? I think I'm bringing my pillow and heating pad with me, and my nausea med.

You rock ladybug!!!!! Blessings!

I'm from AZ! I was banded last Friday in Tempe
