1 week post op! Woot woot!/ anyone from the kc area?

So here I am, I week post op... Well, now 1 week 1 day. I feel great!! I'm so bored at home and I miss all the lovely ladies and doctors I work with. But, I also know my body needed this time to recover and get used to my new eating habits. eggs aren't tasting so great to me right now.. I'll try them again in a couple weeks. SF Jello is still too sweet for me, so I've been doing yogurt, pudding, and Popsicles. I found these delicious popsicles that are made from real fruit and have no added sugar. They are tasty. So far, including pre-op diet for two weeks I'm down 31 lbs!! THIRTY-ONE lbs!!! It is such a great feeling! My goal is to get down 120. I'm 1/6+ of the way there!! I can't believe it! I told my boyfriend of 8 years that once I get to my goal weight I want to get married and have more babies since I will know how to eat at that time. Our 6 year old has already been asking for a baby brother or sister. Ha. I just tell him I'm trying to lose weight before that. Luckily he has plenty of aunts and uncles that have or are having babies in the semi near future.

I can't wait to add things into my diet like mashed potatoes and bananas and Peanut Butter. Even tortilla shells. I'm interested how my stomach will handle those. Have any of you had problems with very many foods on the mushy/puréed foods?

Sorry for my rambling, but I can't sleep right now. I took a late nap with my niece after doing some light housework. Any help or guidance is much appreciated!

I am 3 months and still can't eat potatoes in any form but that is alright because I had the band for 6 yrs and had not one salad so now I have a salad every day!

Can you not eat potatoes because it doesn't sit well? I'm excited to eat a salad again after a while. It's hard not diving in to rotel and Mexican food that's here at my house and all... I miss it, but I've already lost 34 pounds so it is way worth it. And I'm 1/4 of the way to my goal weight.. Not 1/6. I'm having brain goofs! Haha

I'm a week post op and tomorrow I have my first post op appointment. I'm excited and nervous to see how much I have lost! I have tried little bits of foods just testing how I handle things. The little bit of potatoes I tried I did fine with. I haven't found anything that disagrees yet but its early to tell congrats on your weight loss!!

I don't have my post op appt until Monday- which is when I go back to work. Luckily I work where my doctors office is- well right across the street. Potatoes were okay for me. I recently tried mushy retried Beans and those sat well. Good luck with your appt! You'll have to let me know how you do!
