Starting pureed food

[chuie1 0]

I think I'm doing something wrong. I'm only at day 10 and I'm comfortably able to eat cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, and crab meat. I was craving Water right after my surgery and have never had a problem meeting my Protein or liquid goals from day one. any thoughts?

I'm having a similar experience. I'm day 16 I eat for the most part ok. Eggs ...chop meat. Cooked soft veggies. But from what I'm reading here everyone's NUT is different. I stalled from day 7-14 but the scale is moving again.

I'm frustrated.....Wednesday will be two weeks post op. I've only lost 5 lbs. My husband had his surgery 2 years ago and he had lost 25 in the first week and was eating real, whole food at 10 days. I see the PA tomorrow. Damn doctor took vacation. I'm just starting pureed foods. Was told no food that need to be chewed until after week 3. It's my body just in starvation mode?

I had my band placed in 2006 and there were no Protein shakes & eat this & eat that. I was told to cut my meals in 1/2 & chew, chew, chew. I did not eat bread for a year (my own choice.) and no pealings (apple, baked potato, Tomato, hot dog skin, etc.) Small sips of Water & up, up, up the quantity. Eat Protein 1st, vegetables 2nd and fruit 3rd. I was told to "listen" to my band, not to drink a beverage with my meal & forget soda pop & alcohol. I never had Bander Hell, but then I was off sugar products because of my borderline diabetes, so I didn't have to come down from a sugar high.

I love my lap band. It has saved my life!
