Pat ~ So you had your Surgery Tuesday right? So tomorrow your safe to advance to stage II which I am on right now. Doing strained cream soups (cream of chicken, and now cream of potato), applesauce, pudding cups, and grits didn't agree with my band for some reason. Breakfast - 1/2 cup Applesauce Lunch - 1/2 cup cream of potato soup Dinner - 1/2 cup cream of potato soup

Pat ~ Robin told me the day of the Surgery (weds) until Fri was the broth, water, etc. I then advanced myself to the next stage SAT. So basically 3 days stage 1.

Pat ~ Glad to see you up!! yes, I didn't eat till my 3rd or so day home, I wasn't up to it. I wasn't really hungry. I pretty much forced myself to have the broth. Side note - Cream of potato soup.....very....strange.

Have a good time today Lee, John, and Nicollie!! I am attempting Applesauce for the first time, I need to switch things up alittle over here! feels like its sliding down okay. I also was able to kinda sleep on my side last night, that was very nice but after a while I woke up sore and had to roll back on my back. My scale this morning (naked of course LOL) said 237.9!?!?! holy crap?? I haven't weighed that in.......YEARS!!! I mean like....2001, 2002 years ago? could I truly be down 10 lbs since surgery!?

Heather - they kinda stole my idea. I want to open a RNY Band friendly rest. and only serve the correct portion sizes. Jess- I am there too! Nice and local the way I like it LOL. John Lee and Nicolie - good luck tomorrow!!!!!!

Analynn I am so happy your back and have left someone who treats you bad. Love you girl!!

Candra ~ Trust me, when or if I do do fries, it's a basket @ Chilis...LOL!!! Okay I am glad mashed potatoes will be safe. Awwwh yeah Nicollie John and Lee, your band/sleeve buddies...Pat and I are band buddies....so awesome!!! I dont know whats up but I am kinda hurting? short breath etc? it seems like it hurts right where my stomach is...hard to explain...I have only had soup and those grits this morning....I am thinking they really were to thick......

Lee your a day before Nicollie!!!! you will still be there when she comes in :smile2:

congrads on the date lee!!! Whooo hoooo!!!!!

Good morning all, my thoughts and prayers are with your family Nicole, that is a horrible horrible thing to happen. Do they know why? :thumbup: Lee ~ Yeah I know they arent acceptable, but sooner or later I know deep down I will slide and have a few. Darn made some grits for breakfast and even with extra water their still alil thick...feels like its getting stuck in my throat.....

Ohhhh so on the puree I can do soups....hmmmm...chunky chicken soup pureed? Would that work?

Also really quick how long till I can sleep flat on my back or my sides??? I am still sleeping half proped up with pillows because if I try to lay flat I feel my port pulling the muscle....

Ohhhh okay gotcha. The puree stage is alittle confusing to me. I don't know. I guess I will do chicken pureed with broth or gravy.....I will need some ideas to last on that stage Don't worry all I won't slip and have fries I have worked to hard to get where I am :thumbup: Reggie wish I could make it that day!!! Hope you all have fun that food sounds soooo yummy omg LOL
