Hi Debbie,

Don't be afraid, you have to start somewhere. Remember to talk little sips though. Also, I find walking after helps move it around.

I feel great, learning to eat slow has been difficult. I've been using 'eat slow' app which is awesome. But, my port site is super sore. I can hardly bend. Any of you having the same?

Noticed a little puss coming from a couple of my incisions, the doc is putting me on an antibiotic. A little freaked.

I was banded on 9/13 too. Hope y'all are doing better! I still get a little tired, but my incisions are healing. Still learning to eat - my hardest thing is not eating & drinking at the same time - trying to get myself on a schedule. I've been doing good - it's just hard to remember.;)

I'm on mushy food for 2 more days. Today for Breakfast I had a pkg of plain oatmeal, then about 2-1/2 hours later I had a little pkg of hummus then a couple of hours after that I had a cup of split pea Soup, then I had a sugar free fat free pudding, then for supper tuna with a little light mayo - total of about 750 calories day. I eat just a little several times a day. I use the "my fitness pal" to figure out my Protein and calories. My doctor gave me a sample menu and I'm trying to stick to it.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
