 I HAVENT LOST ANY POUNDS SINCE I STARTED MY SOFT PUREED FOODS.

Ok so im suppose to start soft foods on day 14, today is day 13 i dont think it's gonna kill me.  My plan is to eat a boiled egg for breakfast, lipton soup for luch and i'll probably do a protein shake for dinner if not then probably a small can of tuna in light mayo.

PROTEIN SHAKES SUCK

I Cant seem to get the hang of them, any suggestions...please...

Im embarrased to say I cheated yesterday, idk how I did it and didnt throw up but I did.

I ate 2 small slices of pizza! 

Tomorrow I start my soft food diet, Im hoping that it starts getting better. 
I dont feel hungry but I want it when i see it or smell it, I am very disappointeed
in myself and will make sure I dont make the same mistake again. Overall I feel great...

 Going back to work this Friday! 

I stopped taking my pain pills yesterday and went for my upper GI series today.

DAY 3...

Well really day 4 because surgery was on MONDAY.
I am starting to feel HUNGRY!  The thought of sipping on water or my protein drink is making me nauseous. I dont want no more jello!  IDK what to do, today I drank some chicken broth from a lipton noodle soup. I cant wait till Sunday when I can advance to stage 2...

I had the Lap-Band AP put in on monday and I must say I feel better than expected.
I've been wanting to post my recovery but my computer crashed at home. 
As soon as I woke up from surgery like around 11:30 am on monday I wanted to get
out the bed, I wasnt in pain but my mouth was sooooo dry and my back was hurting a little
because of the way that I was laying.  After like and hour in PACU they took me to like
stage 2 observation where I sat on a recliner chair for like another hour or so and took some
pain meds.  Then they let me go home.  I was able to walk to the car but my husband made a
slick comment that I was walking like I just had a baby :)

Today is day 2, im on my liquids and protein, crushing my meds and putting it in my applesause.
I dont feel that much of a restriction when I drink but Im not hungry at all, I can say thought that when
I see food I want to eat it, but im not hungry!

I feel great other than some discomfort here and there, im still taking my pain pills every 4 hours.
They told me at the hospital that I had to walk 2 blocks a day and I"ve been walking two blocks in morning and two at night.


Thanks to everyone for there support, sorry if I cant reply today but I will reply soon.

:)

I am getting the band tomorrow and I still dont know if I want to go for LAP-BAND or REALIZE.
I know they are mostly the same, the LAP-BAND has less slippage problems and more port dislocation problems and the REALIZE is the opposite, Less port problems and more slippage problems...How do I decide? I was thinking of letting my doctor decide for me...ANY SUGGESTIONS? FEEDBACK?

I see there is allot of ppl having their Surgery tomorrow like me, Good luck to everyone...

So tomorrow is the day!  Cant really describe what I'm feeling, Every one that has had the surgery cant stop talking about their new wonderful life but I'm afraid of failing , and nervous of the first couple of weeks...
