1 week post-op recipe

[sunnysea 1]

:hungry: I just started adding creamy Soups and stuff to my diet but anyway I just made something good and simple. I made a cup of chicken broth and added instant mashed potatoes keeping it still thin enough and added alittle olive oil margerine. The broth was the softer cubes that knorr's makes.

Sounds good, just stay on the schedule of what your doc. gives you, and when able or time move on to solids. I stumbled in the first two months post op by relying on Soups and mushies because they went down easy.

During that time I had a two month stall where I did not lose anything.

I got back on track though.

Jackal, Thanks for the reply, it's so true everything we do this 1st month post-op is the opposite of trying to fill that pouch to stay full for a few hours. I know even when I down a cup of Soup I'm thinking ok that was maybe too much and then I realize no that this phase I need to do this:confused: Anyhow, keep the advice coming. You have done a GREAT job at working your band. Congratulations! Sunnysea:)

Any time, and I do mean any time, just shoot me a message for that little bit of support anytime you need it. Take care...

I was told the first 6-8 weeks are for healing, not losing weight. I was on a higher fat/carb diet because things like mashed potatos were simple to eat and were really soft. ~Mandy
