Hello

I am one week out. Today is my first day eating eggs and I can't get them all down. I've been trying now over an hour. Any suggestions?

Hi Louise. Welcome and congratulations! I wasn't allowed to eat eggs (or any "soft" foods) till after week 2. I know different nutritionists have different schedules, but you may want to check to be sure that you're supposed to be trying them already. How much egg are you trying to eat? Don't push yourself at first. My nut. said to stop as soon as I feel full--so if you take 1 or 2 small bites of egg to begin with, then can't go on, that's fine. Don't push yourself. She also said to start with only 1 "soft food" meal a day (and continue on liquids/puree for the others). Take your time and add things gradually. If you can't keep something down, don't force yourself to eat it. Good luck!

Hi Susan, Thanks for replying. I am starting my second week. Believe me I am not forcing myself at all. I did get most of them down and I did feel full. The two soft scramble eggs are on my list for this section of time. I've done real well today. Everything is staying down real good.

I'm glad to hear that it's going better today! It's really a case of trial and error sometimes. I've been craving mac and cheese and on my list it says I can have a little pasta, so today I had about 1/4 cup of Kraft Mac and Cheese with diced ham (which is great in protein). It was fabulous! Keep up the good work!

I am about to start my exercise program. I am going to start with walking first. I was informed by my professional that I could due stationary bike, treadmill and eclipes machine. Plus I did my first booboo. I ate some trail mix! shame on me.

My Lapband surgery was July 31, 2008. I've been trying my best to follow all instructions. Yet lately my energy level is way low. I went out on yesterday - made 4 stops and was to exhausted to get out of the car upon arriving at home. What gives? I did eat the recommended foods and I am drinking 64 oz of liquids. Why do I not have energy?
