Day 2

[sparky1582 4]

Day two and I am doing great! I had my first semi solid food, pureed chicken breast mixed in Cream of chicken Soup. The funny thing is I looked at that 1/2 cup of soup and thought I cannot eat all of that! I did eat it all but I took 25 minutes and I feel full, not stuffed but full. I have walked several times outside and did great. I am still a bit gassy but that too is working its way out!!! My incisions are more sore today than yesterday but I expected that but Advil does the trick. So for all you future bandsters it can be a breeze.

I have to admit being a bit jealous. I am not scheduled to start shredded chicken until week 4. Did you have your surgery hear in the US or in Mexico?

Congratulations on you surgery! Keep walking, and drink Water every time you think about it!

You are on the right track! Keep it up!

I was advised against taking advil or any NSAIDS....you may wanna check with your Doctor to make sure it's ok. Advil and such can cause stomach damage so i was told...I take liquid tylenol and it helps you gotta watch that as well cuz taking to much of it can cause liver damage....:biggrin:

honk- I was banded in the States. My NUT said as long as food was pureed, OK. Cuisinart food processor does the finest pureeing job!

zeniada- I have heard this for gastric bypass but not for the band. I will check.

lml398- Have you tried Clamato juice? Tomato juice with just a hint of clam juice. It is not as thick as V8 (which I love too)

Thanks for the encouraging words.

Day 4 and my incisions are starting to itch! The sorness in my bellybutton is almost gone and the gas is almost gone. I have been sticking to a pureed diet of Soup and shakes and chicken salad obliterated in the Magic Bullet! I have walked alot today. My wife has been with me throught this all and what a blessing!
