How are you doing?

[moni75 22]

Hey I'm good. Feels good to have the staples out. Still surviving with my shakes. How about you?

[Becca817 0]

I am doing good also the shakes are not agreeing with me. I have been doing a lot of reading of different diet to see what other doctor's diets are. I have not tried anything except for some broth.< /p>

[moni75 22]

I tried some Fage yogurt today. 2 ounces. Had no problem & felt full. Our doc is very strict compared to others who are in the same stage as we are.

I am glad to know I am not alone, in wanting something to eat. I picked up some Protein Shots which help a lot 2sips and I get my Protein in 21 grams. The whole shot is 42. I did try some sugar free Jello and I did feel full.I think I am gonna try some yogurt.

[moni75 22]

I've been doing the sugar free Jello since the first week out. Let me know how you make out

It went down ok. I am staring to get hungry. Even with the Protein. I had some yogurt today that filled me up. I can't wait to eat. Have you tried Soup at all?

[moni75 22]

No. No Soup for me. Not really a fan. I'm ready to advance to purée. Think I will try some hummus. Are we suppose to go another week on liquids? Torture!!

[Becca817 0]

I have strained Soup but today I did have egg salad and everything went ok. I feel ready too to start mushy food I am getting hungry between Protein. We due have 1 more week I figured but Thursday I would try some chicken.< /p>

[moni75 22]

Omg there's no way I can last another week. Think I will try some egg salad. Ugh this is the pits

[Becca817 0]

I am just afraid to hurt myself inside. I just find it hard to only have shake.< /p>

[moni75 22]

Me too. Nervous. I will try small amounts. I think we have to do purée then mushy

[Becca817 0]

It has to be the consistency of chicken salad soft food. Joe never did puree he just chew really well.

[moni75 22]

Did he lose a lot of weight? What was his time frame? Worried because I'm going to Miami this summer and have had issues being uncomfortable on those damn planes

[moni75 22]

I don't know anyone else who's had this surgery. All my friends had lapband & had them removed. No other procedures. They all gained a ridiculous amount of weight back.
