Hi all! I was banded Febuary 22, 2010! It was a rough week after my surgery. I have never been so sore like that. The gas effected the nerve in my left shoulder blade and lead to my neck. Every time I would breath I was in PAIN! I am no wimp and have a high tollerance for pain so this was shocking for me.
Here I am 13 days out I feel amazing, I have lost 14 pounds and the swelling is starting to go down.
Doc has me on clear liquids, cream of what ever soups, cottage cheese, jello's and puddings. I don't do sweets very well I need meet!!!!
So, I did cheet...I just had to have the kids 5 peice chicken nuggets. It only took me an hour to eat them but It felt so good to chew something not slurp something. I ate slow and chewed it into mush before I swallowed.
My next Dr. visit is April 1st, and I am praying for vienna sausages or something salty would be great. I will eat more nuggets, I can just see it. Soups & cottage cheese just don't have the flavor I'm so in need of, and the SMELLS of the clear broths like chicken and beef are making me sick to my stomache. So I have now gone against Dr.'s orders and feel a total heal. I didn't over do it or make myself sick I just wonder has anyone else honestly jumped the stage of Dr.'s recomendations on allowable foods?:thumbup:
