About Me

  • Biography
    I'm 33 and made the step to better my health. I did this because I want to have children and be healthy, I put on a lot of weight as an adult,and hated what I saw and how I felt. Now the real journey begins, I truly hope I'm strong enough to do it!

    Post Op Diet

    Hi, According to my list the doctor gave me, after week one I go onto soft foods, mash potatos, eggs, that kind of thing, and baby food was on mine also. I actually love banana Baby food since I was a kid, but can't find myself trying other stuff. I start my softs on Wednesday. I was banded on 12/30/08. They also had tofu, low fat refried Beans, and fat free cottage cheese on it, so I'm actually looking forward to it. The protien shakes were fine pre-op, but now I'm just not interested in drinking anythig, which is very bad I know.. Good Luck.

    Newbie

    Hi Newbie, I was also banded on 12/30/08 in Tucson, AZ. I've had some issues with burping, yuk but otherwise been able to drink. I was told to drink three portien shakes a day, plus sugar free Jello and ice pops. I did great the first to days, but today hit a wall, nothing tasted or went down well. Port site is sore as heck and coughing and deep breaths hurt. No vomiting thank goodness, because after reading everything, I'm more afraid of that then anything else. Still taking my liquid pain meds and started to take some ibuprofen for break through pain. Good Luck, I know I need it.:tongue2:
  12. Here darling! Thought you could use a funny picture!
