Hi! I was banded on 8/30 and had a pretty rough couple of days but I am MUCH better now. I seem to be getting some energy back and am not feeling as nauseous. My surgeon only required a one day liquid and then right to puree....ugghh I hate the way that word sounds! I have tried greek yogurt with fresh fruit blended with a pack of splenda...yum. Of course it is only 1 or 2 oz at a time a few times a day. I also have been drinking a lot of the medifast broths, again only a few oz but it keeps me from getting dizzy. I have pureed some veggie soup but just could not eat it...yuck! Liquid seems to be easier & more appetizing for now. I did buy some little tiny bowls & spoons ....that really has helped with portioning. Can't wait til I settle into a new "normal" .Looking forward to making new friends on here!

I was wondering how is everyone doing?
 
I'm in some pain, but for the most part I am doing ok. I don't want to drink or eat much from the clear liquid diet.... it makes me feel nasuios, but I take a nasea pill prescriped by my surgeon and that helps and I force myself to sip some water every few minutes. I am learning that some things go down better than others. I can tollerate the sugar free popcicles pretty well.

Let me know how your surgeries went and how you are doing.

Good luck with your surgery today.   I hope everything goes well with your during your surgery and after your recovery.  Wishing you nothing but the best on your weight loss journey. 

Hi realize or lab banders, wondering if we can compare notes.  How are you doing?  What are you eating?  Any tips to share? 

I had surgery 8/25 - recovery has been a breeze, by concern right now is that I am getting my appetite back.  I get conflicting info on what  I should be eating. 

I had my RNY done on August 16th, and I just found this sight.  I hope to get to know all of you! Anyway, it is very special path we have chosen.  Best of luck to all of us!
