Hi everyone, good to see the fifties group here. I am looking forward to getting to know you soon. I'm 17 days post op and doing fine but have a technical problem on the site. How DO I add my weight loss ticker to my signature, can anyone assist please? Thank you, Louise

Saffy thanks for this, and everyone of course. I am in UK also and on full sick pay with the full support of my managers. The GP recommended I have 6 weeks off but I just got another note for 2 weeks and reckon I'll be back by the end of July. I do keep getting yellow bruising appearing though around the port wound

Had my band on June 27 and I'm still off work and I work from home sitting all day. It's the sitting I can't do for long periods and I do 10 hour shifts. My GP has asked me to stay off until I have my 6 week check with the surgeon but I don't think that will happen!

Hi, I'm on the liquidised diet still having had my band with no fill fitted on June 27. I love to liquidise tinned fruit in juice and have it with yogurt, it goes down easy and is tasty. I also managed fish in cheese sauce we have here with mashed potatoes and spinach. I even managed to liquidise home made lasagne, low fat version and without the garlic bread of course. I'm having lots of frozen veggies with quorn fillet, a meat/chicken protein substitute. Next week I get to mash rather than liquidise, oh what joy! :tongue_smilie: good luck , Louise x

I can't believe this place and you people and the wonderful advice you're giving. I was banded on June 27 and my first fill will be on August 12. I now feel normal. I'm eating well considering I am 4 cups, as in coffee cup size, of food a day and free fluids. I am losing, 15 lbs so far but what a joy to find you all. I hope I can also contribute so positively before very long, Louise x

Hi Pris, I'm very new to this but have already been having quorn, a meat substitute which is purely protein. Here we can buy this from the regular supermarket from the freezers. I know I will be eating it when I get to chew in a few weeks, oh my teeth and brain can't wait hehe. I'm sure you can find something similar that would suit your taste, good luck Louise
