Well one week into liquids post op and I can say today I am hungry. Oh to feel something crunch between my teeth.. I can do this I can do this I can do this.. I think I am going to go and get something to drink... LOL

Way to go... I still cannot believe that you are on mushys. Still have three weeks of liquids left. Will see how that goes though cause I am starting to get hungry.. LOL I love cream of wheat also.. Good stuff. I thought about that milked right down so it is more liquid than wheat. LOL next week..

Yeah.. Congrats cant wait for that stage....

Yeah I am down 16 lbs in 2o days. I am so happy.. This is just the beginning.. I also bought a good protein powder mixed it with skim milk, half banana yogurt and an omega smoothy. I went into a health food store today and got chewable vitamins that taste good, chewable ascidofolus (sp) and macasure. The macasure is the only thing in pill form and man could I feel it going down. OOUCHY.. But I need this have been off it for months and man I am a mega Bit&^ without it. So here is to starting a new healthy life... I also found out my doctors scale and my scale are the same so I will probably just weigh in on tuesdays on my scale and his scale once a month to make sure that mine is all good..

OHHH my I just about sneezed would have been the first one since the surgery. I paniced and stopped it LOL... I dont want it to hurt..

I also spoke with my nurse my fever is gone, my bloodwork was good so I am all good. I asked her about the pain around the port site and she said that that is normal.. It is stitched to the abdominal wall. So hopefully that is gone soon cause I cant bend over very well. Had my daughter lotion my legs this morning.. Poor girl LOL...

Well I am going back to my yummy shake. Happy knowing I am getting in all my yummy nutrients..

Wow I could use some decorating tips from you.. We have a little 4 ft tree and snowflakes on the windows.. LOL Looks beautiful...

Awesome.. 12 lbs.. I am so excited that I am down 7 lbs in 6 days.. that is so amazing way to go...

I feel the same way... I am more scared of the fill then I was of the surgery.. Freaky LOL.. Let me know how it all goes...

way to go. Congrats to you...

I am so excited for you... And all the good things that will be waiting for you... Yes think positive... Keep us updated...

The two week liquid does suck but when I was at the one week left part i was like yeah half way there and the time just seemed to fly by. You can do it.... Keep it up...

I have named my band officially my Little Diva because this band is going to help break out the Diva in me.. Something that has not shown her little face in a long long long time.. Also if there was a time spot on her you would realize that I am typing this at 3:30 am and without my glasses.. I must admit that I must have over done it cause I am sore tonight and having a hard time sleeping. (Yes Crystal and Chantal I am admitting that going to a movie was not the brightest decision) I am also worried about the fire as it is getting cold out there. I dont want to wake up to a cold house. It is so quiet in the house. All I can hear is the sound of the fire.. I am sitting here drinking a isopure drink with 60 calories 15 grams of protein and also added a 3 gram packet of benefibre on the go packet. I need to get my fibre up so that I can get my digestive system on all systems go if you know what I mean... Not sure if that is possible when you are only having liquids... Any who so I have named her my little diva. I think that is a great name. Now I am going to google how much fiber I need in a day and get to that in the am.... Goodnight all or should I say good morning..

i am going to have to buy this as well..

Sound awesome...

Yeah I have a rash but only where the bandages and stuff were around the incisions were. I am allergic to the bandaids and sticky tape. SO I am a mess and soooo itchy...

I still couldnt even think of solids. I am tooo freaked out. Maybe in a couple days but for now I am loving the liquids.. I am so scared to get something stuck.. LOL I am going to be like that forever..

I say good on u for eating just one cookie.. I will not be restricting myself from everything when u do that things fail.. I will be watching what I eat but this lapband is all about restriction for me. I will still eat the foods I love but in moderation now.. You are doing awesome....

Well I am feeling much better today.. I crawled into bed today and slept another 4 hrs. That felt good. I have only been getting in under 500 calories a day.. Hopefully that goes up in the next few days.. Enjoying this stage of liquids but get filled up fast and then definantly have pain until I burp.. I get up regularily to get the gas out. I am still so happy I did this.. Loving my new life... Still feeling crabby and iritated easily my poor kids but I feel that as I feel better I will be better... Anyways life is good. Hope everyone is doing well...

Good luck and you will do well....

yeah I am day three and definatley feeling the same way with liquids. All part of the healing I guess...

Yeah that is common it is from all the gas they use to pump up your stomach for the surgery. It is important to walk around a bit to get the gasses moving and get them out.. HOpe that helps..

I am hungry.. I am having a clear protein drink and a yogurt. I would wait personally for the mushies like grits, oatmeal and such until u are confident that it is not going to bug you.. They have me on liquids clear and not clear for 3-4 weeks then i get to conquer the mushies.. I would just go with what u feel ur body wants... I would be to scared to go to mushies this early but that is me.. I dont want to hurt.. LOL Hope all is well my friend..

I lost 10 lbs on the 2 week liquid diet consisting of 3 meditrim shakes and 2cups veggies and some chicken broth. Good luck

congrats I got mine today...

Well I am home.. I feel good... Not great but good. Pain meds are working.... I did well doctors said I did great my Liver was good. I was released 2hrs after surgery because I was up and to the bathroom. I am so happy for Lynn and Suzanne. I got to met Suzanne so that was good. Get to keep in contact with her and have a good buddy...

Thanks for all the support... I was so excited could stop talking about all the things I will be able to do...

Thanks again will keep everyone posted...

That is awesome.. Well done...

I am more nervous about the fills then I am about the surgery that I have tomorrow.. So let me know how it goes... Thanks

Congrats to you. I am going in tomorrow morning... I had a lot of thoughts on this as well. I have the same symptoms as you try to lose weight cant get over being tired when I do try. I have Fibromyalgia can never spell it but I am in pain all the time. I am excited because once I start losing weight then working out wont be so painful.. That is my belief and that is how I am looking at this. Anyways I am so excited for you....

I am so excited.. And yes tomorrow is coming up sooo fast.. By this time tomorrow I will be in la la land I think in recovery room.. I just found some strawberry carnation instant breakfast shakes so I am going to have one now.. ANd again way to go my friend. Heal up...
