ALL DONE!!!!!

Well, I just got my first fill...I have an 11 cc band and I got 4.5 ccs in....I feel fine...I'm 21 lbs down since surgery on 3/23!!!  They are very pleased w/ my success thus far.  I'm very happy...I have to do liquids today, but they still don't want me on full solids.  Anything I can cut w/ a fork, any kind of meat, eggs, cheese..Honesty I'm going on 6 wks of soft foods I can't do another 4-5 of soft foods.  i don't go back till 5/23.  I have tried little bites of different foods and I'm okay.  I don't know, I know its super duper important to follow the docs, but holy nuts.....Anyway, I thought I would share my appt!!! 

I can do this, I WONT fail, its not an option..... 

You are sure you understood your Dr's instructions correctly? soft foods till then? I don't remember mine requiring that for that length of time, granted Dr's vary in their orders....still I would ask them again if I was you.:)

Swoosh :)

I know you're pretty sick of soft foods, but maybe you need to get some ideas of more kinds and recipes of soft foods.  Ask on OH.  There is a ricotta bake that I'm hoping to get a recipe for, and there is a www with eggface in it for recipes, but I can't seem to find it.  I'll let you know if I do.

i WOULD DOUBLE CHECK WITH THE DR AND SEE IF YOU UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY. HOWEVER AFTER MY FIRST FILL, I HAD 1ST DAY CLEAR LIQUIDS, 2ND DAY FULL LIQUIDS, 3RD DAY PUREED FOODS, 4TH DAY SOFT FOODS AND 5TH DAY WAS NORMAL FOODS. I DONT THINK YOURS SOUNDS CORRECT. AFTER MY SURGERY IT WAS LIKE THAT. IT WAS THE SAME THING AS THE DAYS ABOVE BUT WEEK TIME FRAMES INSTEAD OF DAYS. YOUR INFO DOESNT SOUND ACCURATE TO ME! AM I MISSING SOMETHING. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK W\DR

 I got my first fill today also, only 2cc but I'm back on liquid for 2 days and then softs for 2 days and then pretty much anything I want in MODERATION.. I would check with your doctor, I asked mine today about your situation, he said no one should be 6 weeks out and still on complete softs. But he said also you may have had some complications that they are watching or something on that line. He says you need to speak to your Dr. and Nutritionist. on another note.. CONGRATULATIONS  On 21 POUNDS DOWN.. VERY PROUD OF YOU !! 

thank you all...Yes I am on  liquids for the rest of today....Funny my stomach is still growling today...isnt that weird.  I know right, 10 weeks of soft foods?  i think is bull crap...

God love ya John, you are tooo darn sweet!!  I asked my doctor about complications and he said everything was text book.  I am a month out and cant have any fruits, veggies or starchy things.  Anything I can cut w/ a spoon that isn't the above 3 mentioned.  I have a list of things I can have and let me tell you its a small small list.  Even like cream of wheat I can't have?  I know they want me to stay away from carbs, I get that, and thats cool, but honestly a pc of fruit a day and like canned peas?  Dude I can squish them w/ my tongue?  hmmmmm, I dont know...I got stuff to make meatloaf (as long as I drowned it in a sauce) taco stuff, although i will only be eating the meat and cheese, and some chicken(again I have to drowned it in sauce or gravy) well thats healthy let me tell ya....drown your lean meat in fat, yes I see how that works!!!!! 

Thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions....I love the feed back I get from this board.

I had surgery on 3/16 and my first fill Friday.  I have a 10cc band and am now at 4.5cc.  I was told liqiods for the rest of the day and then to move back to solids within the next 3 days.  Good luck.  I had a hard time on the liquids, too.  I ate soft foods on Friday and regular food on Saturday.

 That's the perfect outlook... failing is not a choice. That's how I looked at it when I started!
