11 pounds is great. I only lost 10 in the full two weeks pre-op. I must confess that week 2 didn't really get easier for me and i'm now just into my 2nd week post op diet - still liquids. I confess, I'm tired of CIB, jello, and chicken broth. I'm probably a little cranky too but it is not hard, hard, hard.....just not easy.

Good Luck to you; may the surgery go smooth and easy.

Lap Band on 09/19/08

Hey Neighbor,

Did you have RNY or the band? I went out today to get a few goodies for after surgery. I don't think I will be bothered by the broth, I'm looking forward to some salt! (even the low-sodium I got is gonna taste salty) haha! I also bought some Miso Soup mix, and SF popsicles. Have you had some of those? I know the urge is to want to chew something....but I figure this is only a temporary thing to reap BIG rewards....so I can handle it....Getting thru the head stuff was the hardest part, and luckily I worked thru a lot of that the first weekend I was on this diet....I shed a LOT of tears for the past few weeks, but I am feeling better now, and just ready to take some new steps. Even tho I am not eating much this week, I feel lighter and I LIKE that!

Thanks for your good wishes re: the surgery. I hope you continue to have a quick recovery and move into mushies soon. ;o)

I did have RNY. I notice that you are doing the band. Good Luck!

Yes, I've been doing the broth and lots of jello. I especially like the dark cherry jello. I have the SF pops and the first couple of days they were good - very soothing - less so now. Pretty much it is CIB, broth, jello, and water. I'm a bit whiney but I am feeling pretty good and it is exciting to see the scales move in the proper direction.

I'll probably return to work the day of your surgery. All the best.
