Thanks Lisa.

Think I will take your advice and weigh in at the end of week 2. Probably a good idea to keep a check, as by week 3 I might go mad for mashed potato and gravy!

so...happy

I did not have to do a big pre-op diet...I tried but had a hard time controlling my hunger and I figured that I was going to be giving everything up in a few weeks, I will just eat what I want. I mean, I eat healthy but I also eat some of the wrong things. Anyway...good luck...keep us post on the other side. :happy096:

Day 9.
The good news is my shoulder pain is not as bad. Comes and goes with mild exercise, if I eat to much/quickly or sleep in a funny position. Fingers crossed that it stops completely over the next few days.

Anyway, I know its weeks away but been reading about fills and the 'sweet spot'. I have 3mls in my band and have noticed a drop in the amount of fluid I can eat. I know I'm still healing but won't this be worse when I'm on mashed/solid food? Has anyone had a fill during surgery and never needed another one?

Do you like soup? Soup without bits should be ok, or jelly, thin yogurt, maybe custard? I'm going to avoid slimfast like the plague after two weeks of milk and yogurt, pretty sure I'm going to be allowed soup... My guidance says anything that could be sucked through a straw-within reason

Slimfast is full of sugar, so that might not be a good idea. Have you tried Atkins shakes? Very low carb and designed as meal replacements. Just a thought!

I am glad to hear that you are doing well. Full speed ahead now!
