That sounds so good!

I get my first fill next month with a US Doctor and I hope he doesn't give me teeny tiny fills. Ugh....

I was so bloated in my belly that my shirts I wore before surgery wouldn't even fit me. It will go down in a few days. As for eating, you really don't need to! Maybe try some beef broth? Drink, drink, drink!!! You don't want to risk messing your band up. I have made a few mistakes myself and regretted it after PBing it back up. Have you started your liquid yogurt yet? It really helps..I bought the Danon Immunity kind and they taste great!

Thanks for the advice. I actually have a whole closet full of different sizes that I used to wear over the years so I won't have to buy much. I was just so excited to wear a 1X! I can't wait to be able to wear a regular sized shirt instead of plus sizes. Most plus sized shirts are ugly! LOL

I bought a size 1X shirt today and it fit!! I have been in 2X and even 3X so I was thrilled. =D> I just wanted to share my good news with ya'll!

I know NicoleK had it done and her teeth were brilliantly white!!

I am glad you gave birth!! LOL I am sure you feel better. My problem is diarrhea so I am on the other side of the tracks.

You look amazing..and I also love your hair! The style is great! =D>

You will be fine by yourself. > Everyone there is so nice and takes such good care of you..I was amazed at the level of care! Dr. Miranda told us to have a great meal, but not to gain a pound. LOL

It has been a little over 2 weeks since surgery for me and I have lost 14 since then.

The only problem I had on the plane was trapped gas. It would hurt really bad sometimes. Good luck on your journey!!

Yummy!! I am glad you are keeping things down better now. >

The blog feature sounds great! I can't wait to get started on mine.

This is a great post! I am addicted to the scales..really bad!!! This post will be great for me to come back and look at.

The post op diet is going..I get hungry alot, but I just drink more soup. LOL It is very tough to adjust to not eating at all. I have lost 26 lbs total. 12 on my pre-op diet and 14 since surgery 2 weeks ago. I feel pretty good most of the time. My soreness is almost all gone and the gas finally left me. I am very happy I did it.

Awww bless your heart Paula! I am sure you will learn very soon what amount of food is right for you. You are still new at eating, so just keep experimenting until you get it right. I am sorry about the constipation. The stool softeners will help soon. I took them religiously when I was pregnant. Hang in there!

You are gonna do so good! =D> Welcome to bandland!!

I believe it depends on the size of the person banded. Four of us were banded on March 28th and the three girls got the 4cc band and the guy with us got the 10cc VG Band. They will tell you after surgery and give you a card to carry in your wallet with the size of your band. Hope this helps!

Good luck to all the May Bandsters!! =D>

Thanks so much for the advice. I called the OCC and they said if my band had slipped I wouldn't be able to keep down liquids, which I keep down fine. I have read otherwise on the internet about band slippage, but I will trust the OCC on this one. I feel a little better and needless to say, I won't be trying anymore mushy foods until next Friday. Thanks again for the support!

Thank you Paula...that was so sweet of you.

NO MUSHY FOOD ALLOWED!!! That is the last thing on Dr. Miranda's post-op orders, right? Sigh... The other 3 that were banded with me have started having a few bites of mashed potatoes, mashed up green peas, chunkier soup..etc. I am admitting that I have tried it twice against my better judgement. The other 3 that were with me keep it down fine and enjoy a bite every now and then. On the other hand, when I try it, I PB it right back up. Why can they tolerate it and I can't? Does anyone think my band has already slipped from my sickness during my 1st week post-op? I am really, really worried. Please be gentle on me..I know I have done wrong, but it is so hard to not chew anything for so long. Why do you think I have to PB it up and they hold it down? I am worried about my band.

Way to go!! It sounds like it was a breeze! I can't wait to see if you can tell a difference in your eating. Please keep me informed! =D>

Gosh yes I saw her and my heart sunk! I wonder what she did wrong?

Good luck to your hubby! He is gonna love the OCC. Enjoy your trip to Mexico!
