Hello all! I am almost two weeks post lap band surgery. I have done well with the weight loss so far. Two weeks prior to surgery I weighed 302 lbs, the day of my surgery I was 295lbs and today I am 280lbs. I know that is a great accomplishment and I am so thankful but I underestimated my relationship with food. I am having such a hard time with this post op diet. It's really taking an emotional effect on me that I'm on the verge of being depressed. I'm so ready to be able to chew food. Just curious if anyone else is struggling with this. All comments are welcome.

What are some of your favorite to use for the post-op diet? I was curious about hot sauce....I love all things spicy and I know that it's kind of a no-no for the post-op diet but has anyone tried just a little? ????

Yea went I went to my post op appointment my doctor told me I looked sick and to go eat some eggs. I looked at him like he was crazy because I knew I wasn't suppose to have that for two more weeks. He said he was bumping me up. So I've been eating mushies. Lol

I'm so scared of that happening after I get my first fill! But yea I will be very cautious. I have been fortunate so far cause I haven't felt nauseous or anything except the first three days after surgery. I just felt weak until I got puréed food in me.

. Thank you! Yea I'll probably stop eating the tuna. It went down very nicely though. Sometimes I feel like my band isn't as tight as it should be because I will still feel hungry after two ounces of food. I will definitely have to try the chili blended! That sounds amazing!

thank you! That really helped! May I ask what happened? Why you told me to be cautious?

Thank you guys for the encouragement! It does mean a lot. I was on Clear Liquids for the first week and wasn't doing well. I was really weak. My doctor bumped me up to mushy foods. So I'm on that for the next four weeks. I'm so tempted all the time to try a bite of something. I actually did try tuna and it went down fine. I just want to hurry up and get through these first few weeks. It's definitely lingering. Trying to take it one day at time. Justwatchme congrats on the weight loss! That's amazing!
