I thought we needed a thread dedicated to BABY FOOD! My doctor recommended baby food for your mushy stage. I'm 5 days out of surgery and ready for some mushies so I went to get some baby food. I stood in front of pureed green Beans, sweet potatoes, apples, turkey, mangos, etc and looked like a lost puppy! Seeing that I am 25 and never had children... I have NO idea what baby food actually tastes good :sad: or which tastes like cat throw up :frown:. What baby food product would you suggest to eat? (BTW, the chicken and Chicken broth baby food looked like slobber and tasted horrible!)

Heya Girl!!! Talk about being worried about you! I haven't heard from you in forever and thought something was wrong! Glad you are doing good! No fill till tomorrow. I'm interested in how it goes. I'm eating 1 1/2 to 2 cups at each meal so my restriction is not great. The fill tomorrow will be much better. I've already lost 34 pounds!! Talk about flying off! It's great! We totally need to do lunch sometime. What's your work schedule look like and maybe we can meet up before school starts for me! Talk to you soon....

I am 11 days till surgery and they just started me on my 5 meal replacements a day (800 calorie diet). Only problem is, I'm throwing up the shakes in the morning. I cannot drink milk in the morning for this reason. It's not a lactose thing but a consistency thing. Any suggestions what i could do? I did try putting crystal light in the shake but that made it worse. I CANNOT continue to throw up my breakfast every morning.

Hey Kelly!
Sorry it has taken me a bit to get back with you! YES! I totally think it is the norm. We are getting more and more calories in than when we started from the liquid diet. I gained but two days later I lost that plus some. We are fluctuating so much right now because our bodies are still flipping out! I haven't gotten my fill yet until the 16th. After that.....we should feel restriction and that weight will start flying!!! Yay! Keep your head up and don't get discouraged! Weight in only once a week. Not every day and you will be fine!! Keep me posted on how your fill goes!

Dr. gave me a no go on sit ups. It's because your band actually can flip inside out. Saw some pictures. Crunches are fine but no full coming all the way up sit ups. I'm 5 weeks post op and enjoying every minute at the gym!! It's such a release....and I listen to motivational podcasts while i'm there. It's a double hitter!

Love that you did it in a cool background!! You will really see how you change so easily! Good luck! -
Did you cheat on pre-op liquid diet
Jenna22 replied to crystalcml's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Llyra, I completely agree!!! I would prefer someone to mess up pre-op then someone messing up after post-op. -

Those of you with a lower BMI did your insurance pay?
Jenna22 replied to spoiltmom's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am about to post this but DO NOT BE RUDE! My BMI was 39 at my initial consultation. Because I did not have anything but reflux, my insurance assistant said that she didn't think the insurance would approve me. SHE suggested to wear LEG WEIGHTS!!! That cracked me up. I decided to just eat my life away since I wouldn't be doing that after surgery. I am a dance teacher and have a ton of leg weights so I brought on with me. I sat in the car for almost 20 mins deciding if i should do it. I had to gain 5 pounds to get to 40 BMI. So i went ahead and put on the leg weights! I walked in to take my weight......I gained the amount I needed to without the weights. Didn't need the help! -
Yes salt was something the nasty chicken and Chicken broth mush needed. Yuck.... I thought that it would give me some Protein but it just gave me a sick feeling in the stomach! :-)

5 Days Post-Op HUNGER & HEADACHES
Jenna22 replied to katyp1203's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've started getting some headaches my self. I had a protein shake two days after surgery and it went down great. Totally liquified but it helped with the hunger. Honestly, I haven't been hungry at all. I've been sipping on water and other clear liquids all the time and that helped with me needing to eat. If it wasn't for this damn hiatal hernia, I would be in no pain. The gas irritates it light crazy. Can't wait till that heals along with everything else.
