Anyone Getting Banded In September?

[twinskins 13]

I'm now 7 days post-op, feeling great! I've lost 4 pounds since last Monday. I've been on full liquids until today when they progressed me to the pureed stage. I have to stay on this stage for weeks 2 and 3 and then I can move to soft foods week 4. I have my follow up appointment with the surgeon on the 27th. Haven't taken any pain meds today and don't really feel I need to.

Yesterday i started eating i was banded fri. I had cream or blended Soups Greek frozen yogurt and even Cheetos puff corn you can have one cup for 140 cal. They melt away in your mouth. I didn't follow preop diet while i did lose 10 lbs in low cal i didnt drink just gross shakes for 2 weeks. My doc said my liver looked great. Keep in mind im a low bmi bandster to start. Post op I'm supposed to have liquid but I'm blending soups they are almost liquid but have more flavor. I feel great!

Friday is the day and I'm getting more nervous and more excited everyday...more excited than nervous. The only thing I'm really afraid of is how much pain I'm going to be in afterwards. My Doctor said I'll be fine but I've read some horror stories and its making me nervous. Anyone have some positive feed back from after surgery?

Please be careful Susie the need to be careful post op on your food choice is not weight related so it's almost irrelevant what your BMI is - its to do with allowing your stomach to heal xxx please be careful x
