How is everyone doing?



Recommended Posts

I was banded exactly 1 week ago today 2-19-09. I am feeling great. I have lost 8lbs so far. I am eating soft/mushy foods. The problem I am having is having a variety. Does anyone have ideas besides the normal mashed potatoes, creamy Soups, oatmeal, etc.?

Really excited to hear how everyone else is doing.:)

I was banded one day after you!:)

I'm on pureed foods now - I just got the go ahead on Wednesday from Dr. Chau. The pains from gas are WAAAAAYYY better than they were, and I hardly have taken any pain meds. I kinda feel some restriction, even though my first fill isn't until the end of March. The day of surgery I was 266 :tsk:, and when I got weighed at my post-op visit on Wednesday, I was down to 256. :thumbup: I think most of that may have been Water weight because the DAY of surgery was the day my "Visitor" left town till her next visit.:mad2:

I found a really yummy organic cream of broccoli Soup and a Cuban Black Bean Bisque. Whole Foods has a great Cream of Garlic and chicken (WHOO-HOO! is it GARLICY!:thumbup:), cream of portabello mushroom Soup, as well as a great organic chicken broth, beef broth, and vegetable broth. I'm also eating baby food (ham, chicken and beef).

SOOOOO.... So far, so good! SO LET'S GET SKINNY!!!:tt2:

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
