19 days post-op and I am sick of mushey foods!

ponytail · April 13, 2008

Only 10 more days and I can finally eat something! Of course, I'm not going to cheat on the post-op diet... I don't want to hurt myself (plus I'm not a gigantic pig who can't control herself)...

But I really want something to eat! I'm not talking a hugh fried chicken meal with french fries... I just want a subway or something!

On the plus side, I have lost 25 pounds in 19 days!

:biggrin:

so everyone who cheats a little is a "gigantic pig who can't control themself"? that seems way harsh.

Hope, I think you may be just a touch sensitive. I'm sure that's not what Ponytail meant. I don't know her nor have I ever spoken to her but I think this was just a way for her to vent a little to help get by with this. Don't take this wrong but I read in another post that you were cheating a little and maybe you are feeling a little guilty about it? We all have to do what works for us but please don't read into her words things that aren't really being said.

Ponytail, just hang in there girl!! You want to keep on keeping' on to help your band get seated so there is less chance of erosion. There are some great threads in this section that cover that. I plan on reading those over and over when the hunger is driving me insane!! :biggrin:

And BTW, AWESOME WEIGHT LOSS!! YOU GO GIRL!

Ponytail,

I don't take what you said personally but it probably could be construed by some people that way.

Consider yourself lucky that you are on mushies. I am 5 days out and still on Clear liquids. Tomorrow or Tuesday I start full liquids for another week before the mushy stage.

Its weird how all doctors are different.

Hang in there, it will be fine.

Alice

Actually, I misread your original post. I thought you were only 2 days post op. I guess you've already done the liquid stages and suffered like the newly banded.
