beery Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Well, I am 9 days post operative and have lost 12 pounds and can tell you I am sick of soup. I have taken so much flack from my co-workers. They are even to the point of making fun of me. But hey, this is my life and its what I want so I don't care what they think. If they are really my friends they can just get over it. It's not like I just keep talking about my surgery non-stop. I never even mention it. They are the ones bringing it up all the time. OK - thanks for letting me vent. Annette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget your co-workers that are just being insensitive to your healing process and perhaps don't understand what would be the consequences of chompin' down on that ham n' cheese sandwich they just bought from the vending machine. YOU ARE doin' what you need to do, to make sure you don't mess up your band! At least you have made a life change that you are proud of now (congrats on the 12 lbs) and EACH and EVERY time you meet your weight goals! Yay for you! Congrats!!! Remember, soup isn't FOREVER............ KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! Take Care! Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly C Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hey Annette, I'm Kelly C. I was banded on 4/26. I have been on clears. I'm sick of not the broth and juice but, I'm sick of the BIG D.! It seems I'm running to the bathroom every other hr.! I had bottled water at the hotel and didn't eat anywhere but there. My bottom can't take much more. Did you have this problem? Kelly C.

childrensgarden2 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 My question is when did you start on the regular soup. I am on liquids right now and am unsure when I can eat something like tomota soup. Thanks Shannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem was just the opposite, but once i incorporated the other items, not just clear broth I was better. Looking forward to my first fill. Take care!

It truly is. Most hate to see others change because they feel trapped somehow themselves. Keep on reinventing yourself it only leads to a better life from my experience. Thank you for your frankness and your story of overcoming adversity! Good stuff! Helps us all! Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
