I wish you lived closer too. Good luck with your surgery, I didnt think it was bad at all. God Bless Lapricscopic surgery LOL.

I lost about 15 lbs the first two weeks on liquids, then my last 2 lbs came after my first week on smooshy food. OMG! that first bite of smooshed scrambled egg was heaven LOL And cottage cheese sure was a treat too. I was told that anything I can smash with a fork is ok for smooshy food. So I have been enjoying my veggies again. It sticks with you so much better than the liquids but still tough. Im anxious for the next step of Reg food again, 4/23. Kinda miss chewing but Ice can trick your brain in that department but not good on the teeth. LOL

I was banded on the 26th of March. I started with walking around my house for about 10 mins. The next week I did 15 or 20 outside when able. I just started back my arm exercise with my 5lbs weights, but I do this while sitting yet so I dont strain my belly too much. I still have port tenderness and my next visit to my Dr. I will ask when I can really get moving. It will varry with each Dr. and patient Im sure. Good luck Everyone!

Hi Momma, I too have eaten so much fish in the past two weeks I think I may have some gills growing. LOL Its a good thing I really like fish. I get to bring back my reg. foods on the 23rd. Im a diabetic so I will still be on the low carb diet, which isn't bad and I'm use to it. Being Diabetic is what made me decide to get this done. Im so sick of taking pills and I was on my way to the injections. I had to do something now. I have felt so good since having been banded. My energy level is threw the roof and like you the only soreness I have is tenderness around my port. Thank you for being here for me. If you ever need to talk too, my ears and shoulders are still big. LOL

Hi, Im looking to find someone near me to walk with. Im in the Radcliff, Vine Grove area. Anyone else in my area?

Thanks Cathy for the encouragement. Im hoping once I am able to eat solid foods again that may stick with me longer than the mushy foods. Please say its so. LOL But I have managed to keep that munchie bug away by taking a bite of something, usually applesauce.

Hello everyone, My name is Sue and Im from kentucky. Im a wife, mother, and Grammy. I was banded on March 26th and so far all is good but a little hungry :wub:. I wont be able to have a fill for about 3 weeks yet so Im just doing my best to make it threw the munchies. This forum looks like a good place to start for help and support since I live so far away from where the support groups meet from the hospital I used. :wub:
