Newbie & 4 d post op
Hello all I'am brand new to the site here and just had lap band surgery on tuesday. I feel pretty good right now, just want food. I am tried of the sweet stuff the drinks are all sweet along with yogurt & such. I got a one egg pan today at Walmart after walking at he Home & Garden show for a couple of hours so i am going to try a scrambled egg tommorrow. Any insight on what to eat would be greatly appreactied. This was the part I was worried about My dh is so supportive but i can't stop him & the 4 youngins from eating.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

CONGRATS on your surgery....I'm just starting my 2 week pre-op diet and get to drink shakes for 2 meals a day...i really don't know sweets much at all which makes me want to throw up when i drink the shakes...I plan to try a lot of broth and eggs when i hit the mushy stage...I also plan on getting the magic bullet so that i can process some better tasting food (chicken, fish and pork chops)
Good luck on your recovery
Thanks good luck on surgery I was suppsoed to have surgery on March 11th but I have Psorasis and it went totally Psycho and we had to post pone for 2 weeks while i did switched meds and did some really strong ones. Whic i gained some weight back grrr. But back on track now. Had my one week check up and I lost 14 lbs. so I was psyched. Everything looks great so I can start swimming again on wednesday. Oh I highly suggest the magic bullet my MIL got us one for christmas and it had been collectin dust but it has been so busy this week making smoothie's lol. NOw i am using it for egg salad & chicken salad. Good Luck!

Welcome to the ND Board! I wish you all the best on your journey. I understand how you feel, I was soooo tired of SF Jello and yogurt and broth by the time I got to real food. Wish I had realized the Magic Bullet was something I should use. I bought a new blender just before my surgery, and I haven't used it since my mushy stage. Magic bullet sounds like it gives you a few more options. Oh well!
I've been playing with my magic bullet and am really looking forward to mushies...i'm currently on clear liquids for today and a couple days after surgery and then i think it's a nother 2 weeks on full liquids...after 1 day i'm tired of jello...I very seldom eat it and after having it for breakfast and lunch i was to the point of gagging on it...
