Blened tuna and chicken with a little mayo, cream soups, oatmeal, stuff like that. i didnt have much variety either and got bored fast. i got to open my diet a little more and i can now have like eggs, toast, crakcers, broth-based soups, chicken and fish, and i dont have to blend my tuna anymore, which is awesome.

hmmm, idk. i never like set any goals. i guess getting under 300. what is yours?
-

Interesting. I didnt have any problems with nausea beside being gaggy with the protein powder shakes. i could not hold those down. And my band has no fill right now, my fisrt fill is on Aug 31. DO u know how much weight you have lost so far?

I was walking a bit with my mom in the very beginning and im actually going to the Y today to start back to doing what i was doing before surgery.

Ok, so its been almost 2 weeks since surgery and im doing great. Ive lost 17 lbs so far. The first week was pretty rough and was freaking myself out about malnutrition since i only had one kind of protein powder and could not stand it. And this past monday i got to expand my diet from pureed foods, to soft foods. meaning i can have crackers, toast, peanut butter, noodles/rice, eggs, etc. Very exciting since ive been getting sick of my pureed tuna, and soup and such. Starting school soon, so that will be interesting. im just preparing myself for questions to be asked. blahh... but otherwise, thats pretty much it. Oh yeah, ive been trying to get most of my protein from my foods since i CANNOT stand the protein powder. My mom ordered unjury for me so hopefully i will be able to handle that. Just waiting for the to come in the mail.

first spot they tried to get the IV in (they numb it before they do the IV, thank god!)

they put mine in my hand. the numbing hurt more than when they put the IV in. -

hey, thanks for the comment. im having surgery on thursday and just wonderingwhat is the best. thanks again.

Ok, all im hearing about is that i have to get my PROTEIN in. im just not sure what is the best product or what tastes the best and stuff like that. So if you have any great recommendations or reviews about aproduct please let me know. im a little lost -thanks. <3 ALSO, ive heard that Unjury is really great, but it is really expensive and apparently there are only 17 scoops in the biggest container so im guessing that if 17 shakes. that isnt much...
-
I suggest reallly watching what you are eating. Avoid sugar and fat, obviously. but also be aware of portions and no carbonation since it can stretch your new stomach. i know you can only eat so much but ive heard it is really easy to stretch your stomach out. im having it done on thursday and heard all about this today. good luck!

Ok, so 5 days until surgery and im so excited!!! Tomorrow me and my mom are going to visit with my cousin who had the surgery a few years ago because 1. it was her birthday on Friday and 2. i just want to talk with here about pre surgery and post surgery. like what she did for a while basically. On Monday i have a crazy day with appointments. like 3 in one day starting at 6:45 AM...which reallllyyyy sucks. I have to have an upper GI, lab work i think, and i meet with the dietician. and i cant eat any "fatty foods" for dinner the night before Monday and surgery! Im not really sure whatr im supposed to eat though. Like salad...chicken breast...can i have pasta? idk...please let me know in a comment if you have some suggestions. hmmm. what else....? Oh yeah...how many times a day do you drink the protein shake thingys? like 3 times a day like one at each meal time? again, shoot me a comment i think that is it... ill def post another blog post if there is something else.

omg. i can relate to the pretty face with little to no confidence. im having the surgery on July 30th and i think it is the best decision of my life so far. i can't wait until i feel better and have more energy and confidence. and i really dont care what people think. as long as you feel good it shouldn't matter.
-
thanks for your comment. ive even thought of that myself. just really trying, and its not like i havnt. i feel like this is the only way.
