So - where are all the Smashing Pumpkins from??

Julie.ann are you still on liquids or have you started mushies as well.

Actually I only had to do liquids for a week and I got to transition into soft food during week two. I am on soft food. I have to stay away from dry meats and hard foods. Otherwise I am pretty much back to normal diet. Eating has made me feel almost back to normal.

How about you?

Great i'm loking forward to tring some tuna salad i just have a few more days to stay on mushies and liquids.

Are you still sore and having pain in the port area? Every time i eat any thing i feel like i have air in my stomach and i'm burping real loud or maybe it is my bodys way of saying i'm full?

I am eating mushy food, like Soups but if I chew chicken long enough I can get it down. I made the mistake of trying some crackers with it. BACK UP!!! I used to drink when I ate, now thats over and I felt so clogged!!

How is everyone doing?

I am in Austin, Texas. I was banded 10-03-08 and I have lost 75 lbs. I was just thinking about the Smashing Pumpkins. We were all so good about posting here. I hope you all are not like me and have gotten away from our strict diet. I still have 50 more lbs to go, but the summer has been real hard. Lots of parties and I feel so much better and look better too, but I have been cheating. I have got to get better and back to the diet. The good thing is that I have not gained anything.

Gotta go. I have to bake a birthday cake for my grandson. (But I won't eat any)
