Need help feeling down

[Virtiouswoman 14]

I know how you feel! I felt like this a couple of days ago thanks to my vet that had been banded for years that put me back on track. We have to eat our Protein first then the other foods. Slider foods are like cream of wheat that is loose not thick it can run off your spoon, baby food, purée foods. An remember don't drink 30 to 45 minutes before your meal and 2 hours after. I too love this site being a Newbie takes time and commitment and encouragement from others that have been where we are now! I'm glad I did the band and I know you are too. We just have to listen, follow Dr instructions and walk walk and sip sip and chew chew little bites. One day we will look back and be Vets to help Newbies like ourselves. Have a bless day and don't worry you will hit your green zone it takes a while for some. I'm waiting on my first fill in January 3 2013, xoxoxoxox

The tuna was probably ok, I never would have done lettuce this early on. Kiel up the great work with the mushies!

Thanks for the encouragement I'm hanging in there. Your right no more lettuce that was a awful feeling now I know what they mean about getting food stuck. xoxoxoxox

You just need to keep trying things and keep track of what keeps you full and what gets stuck. I had a very small menu to start, but I found what I liked and what worked. When I have stalls or start eating too much, I go back to that list.

Hang in there. it is a tough time of year and the body does strange stuff while healing. Stay away from the scales for a few days' date=' and eat more protein.[/quote']

Excellent advice, thanks!

Please don't be sad. Same thing happened to me. Just concentrate on healing & trust me you will be fine. I was worried as well & my dr dismissed my concerns & said "we haven't really started yet". You body is holding on to anything you can give it while you are healing. Xx
