OKay Miss Rita, I need advise. My surgery was on the 28th and I was starving over the weekend. I went ahead and started the mushies. I called lana and she talked as if I was ok. Have not PBed or anything. However, I do feel this morning like I am full even though I haven't ate. Do u ever have anything thing like this? Just needin some encouragement and wisdom. Thx.

THE PLOT:I had my surgery on the 28th. I am a big girl with a BMI of 63. I am just moving into eating some mushy stuff. Here is where I need help. I am feeling hungry and then I feel like I should eat and my hubbie (who is a "not following the rules" band holder) says I can't have this or that . Then I get to feeling like maybe I can't do this. Maybe I am destined to be a big eater forever. Bt my weight truly interferes with my career path and ability to get around. Just need a word from someone. :frown::frown::frown::frown::sad::frown::crying::frown::crying::frown::crying::frown::crying::frown::crying::frown::crying::frown::crying::frown:

Just need some uplifting

Thanks again Monkey! You tend to be a voice of reason. I am really working on sticking to the diet. The only thing I have cheated at was having clear Chinese soup and letting some of the crunchy noodles turn to mush and then eat them:blushing:. And I do mean mush. I am gonna try some of Magnolia's ideas in that I just need to feel sorta satiated. Pray for me. -

Thanks so much Magnolia! I have sent a friend request to ya in that we are similar in banding dates and age. I love your mushy ideas. Mine were a bit vague but I am definitely gonna try your ideas. Thanks a million! -
Restless you are indeed a motivation to me. I am five days post- op and every question that has come to mind you have posted a response to it somewhere. I too am a "scooter hater" and am looking forward to being able to move without pain and for longer times.

Super sore around the port site. About to try some cream of potato soup minus the potatoes (or at least super mushed up). Moving is tough but stayin still up or down seems up to help. Want to walk more but want to take it slow. pray for me

Help! Banded yesterday(7/28) & in pain!
caricap replied to AmyNsaint's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine was the 28th as well. Mostly my pain is near the port. It feels like I am stretchong or pulling it everytime I move. Gettin up and down (from the bed, toilet, couch ) sem to be the worst. I also am still using the gas-x strips. I am not sure why but I still am having a bit of gas that seems to aggravate a bit. You're in my prayers. -

Surgery in 2 days and getting very nervous
caricap replied to momwifelove's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery is tomorrow, and I am a nervous wreck :crying:. I have never had any surgeries other than 2 c- sections. Some how this is different. I guess cause this is really about myself. You guys are in my prayers, and remember me in yours. -
Hello Everyone. I am so excited! My surgery is tomorrow! I am a bit nervous about the "liver" thing. I have really did good sticking to the all liquid diet. I have had absolutley no carbs and only a nibble of meat twice:frown:. I am so looking forward to starting my life over. Good luck to all. You are in my prayers, and I ask that I am in yours.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. It has been extremely tough because I am a carb-oholic. No pasta, no bread has caused me to have to pray harder and my family to duck and cover faster:lol:!
