3 weeks post-op - anyone in my area?

I'm 3 weeks & 3 days post op - R&Y with band - doing really well. Lost about 3o lbs so far. I was surprised that I actually gained weight in the hospital due to all the fluids they pumped into me. I really wasn't prepared for that! I'm tired of pureed foods. I 'm telling you, GOD DID NOT intend for tuna to be a drink ! Looking for people in my area to talk with & share experiences (food, exercise, etc)

Although I am not in your Area ... I am right at the same timeframe post op. I can't start my puree's until next Thursday though Your post made me crack up about the tuna lol I have been eyeing the recipe's on eggface's blog and counting down the days until I can actually TASTE food.

Hey Patricia - I am in Charlotte too. I refuse to puree anything, I'm just smashing or shredding things up and chewing really well. My protein shakes keep me so full though that it's just one meal a day LOL You had a RNY with a band? So thats a fobi pouch? I gained 15 lbs in the hospital from fluids and was only in there for one day! It's gone now *yay* but I'm counting those pounds too darnit lol

I am 4 weeks out but I do not live near you. I am now on solids except meat and raw vegies. I feel real good. I have lost 33 pounds. I did not puree foods I just chewed the snot out of everything until it was baby food consistancy. It gives you good practice on eating slow.

not in your area, but certainly knnow what your feeling!......... 33 pounds is awesome! did you lose all that post op?
