Hello Wonderful People! I had Revision to RNY on March 30, 2018. Long surgery with a sticky Lap Band port to get out, but all went well. 2 weeks Post Op today and feeling really good! I feel blessed! Healing well. All bodily functions are up and running smoothly. Walked the dog 20 minutes the last two days. Napping every day and resting as needed. Getting in all the right stuff. Tracking all my liquids and Proteins. First Dr. visit today and I am down 12.5 lbs from surgery date - very encouraging. He moved me to "mushy" foods and I was able to eat tuna salad for lunch and ground beef mixed with hummus for dinner today. No discomfort at all, but feel super full. I chewed everything very thoroughly. They said I could eat 3-4 oz per meal. Hoping my body will give me good, clear signals when to quit because I don't really have that yet. I need to SLOW way down so that I don't overeat and get sick - I can see that after today- but eating too fast has always been an issue for me. MUST conquer it or suffer. Will begin tomorrow taking a bite and then counting down at least 30 seconds before another bite. Oh, and I have had a counseling intake. Will be seeing a counselor who specializes in Eating Disorders. I want to fix my head along with my body so that I can reach my goal and not regain. Such huge changes. SO glad to have this forum to read and learn and share!

Any women out there in or around the Goodyear area? West Valley? I am a newbie. I'm having Lap Band with Plication in three days and I REALLY need to join or start a support group! Please post if you are interested and we can exchange numbers and information. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tasha
