trulytangledgrl Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Well... this has been a ROUGH 3 weeks post op but in only TWO days I will be able to eat SOLID FOODS!! Girls and guys, I am SO friggen excited. Honestly, I still have wonderful restriction. I am doing fine on liquids - I do get hungry on some days and I want to chew the hell out of something... but those are few and far between because I have lost total of 14 lbs since surgery day and couldn't be happier =D> . I do not want to do ANYTHING to jeopardize that so I have been fairly strict on this post op diet. I am at 181 - ALMOST IN THE 170'S and I am so excited because I think its been at least 10 years since I was 170. Probably more than that, actually. I know I was like 150 when I was in 7th or 8th grade. I am thrilled and cannot wait to see even 179 pop up on my scale. I just wanted to share my joy with all of you wonderful bandsters (and soon to be bandsters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesuse Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Congratulations! That's awesome - I hope I have even half the success you've had in my post-op period. I'm nervous about it, but it's so fun to see how well people like you are doing - makes me all the more motivated to make the best of it and resist the urge to chew!

trulytangledgrl Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Tammy and Tanya - Hi band buddies!! > You two ladies are doing PHENOMINAL as well! Give yourselves a pat on the back. So how is the first day of FOOD/CHEWING going? Its good for me... I had some meatballs. I was craving red meat for some reason!! woot woot! It felt so good to chew. Thank you ALL for your support and encouragement. I am trying so hard to be motivated and stay positive (despite the fact that I am STUCK at 182 right now). I am also on my monthly cycle and feel extremely bloated so once it goes away I am hoping I will have a nice drop. To those of you who are anticipating post-op, my advice to you is to STICK IT OUT!!! Don't cheat!! Its so worth it. It is difficult the first week but after that, when you start seeing some changes/results, its MUCH easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
