CALLIE

I am two week postop and doing well emotionally. The first few days I was okay but had a small breakdown on day 4. I think it was due to the lack of energy, gas pains, etc. It lasted a few hours and then I was fine. Keep your head up. You can do this.

:crying:I am two weeks postop and I am starting to feel discouraged. So far, I have been able to eat anything and everything I have wanted. I followed the diet until the mushy phase but have started eating other things now. I don't feel like anything is restricted. I am having trouble controlling my portions as it seems I can eat the same as I was before the band. I have lost some weight but afraid I may gain it all back before my fill. Please help! :rolleyes2::scared2:

I hope you are right. If you don't mind, how much have you lost?

I was recently banded on May 30, 2008. I am now past the mushy food stage and was wondering how long it will be before I can actually eat a salad. I have not had a fill yet so I am starting to get hungry. Any suggestion on different foods (besides mashed pot.)would be appreciated.

I can see this happening to me too. Be careful and talk to your doctor
