Yeah, mine has slowed down the past couple of days. I am hoping to lose 5 more before I eat solids...but who knows if that will happen. I can't wait to be able to exercise at the gym, because I can always lose weight that way, as well as, inches. Congrats on your weight loss!

Yeah, I have read that before. The thought actually went through my head when I was craving real food, that how does my body know if I was told 3 weeks or 2 weeks. But I have never caved in, OCC has those rules for a reason, so I figure a few more days of liquids won't kill me. I can't wait to eat scrambled eggs, too....and hopefully bacon!

I am not really bored with liquids yet, only because everyday I try and have a different soup. Yesterday I had minestrone with all the good veggies and pasta strained out, but then I added a little Parmesan cheese and let it melt, and it was so yummy. Today, I made that wonderful Chicken Tortilla soup from the recipe forum and added sourcream, and it is definitely a liquid taco. I think I dream about food every night though. Infact last nights dream was so real feeling, I thought I really ate something and kind of freaked out this morning, but I know I really didn't..lol. Wed, I am going grocery shopping to buy a bunch of healthy foods, since I will be cooking home on the weekends alot now, which I never did before. I am so excited to eat on Thursday!! Hang in there girls, we can do it!!!!

How awesome is that My daughter and I are going to Walt Disney World in Nov for the first time, and I hope to be a 100 lbs thinner, and look good in a bathingsuit when I go in the piano shaped and guitar shaped pools..lol.

Did you get the VG band, too? They didn't tell me anything like that, atleast I don't think they did, those 2 days are a drug induced blur..lol. However, if that's the case, it will kind of suck

Awesome! Yeah, I am going to wait until I am back on solids, to avoid having to find something to eat/drink there. We have annual passes, so we can wait a few more weeks. I just wanted to be sure I won't mess anything up in the inside going on rides. I am assuming whatever stitches they put on the inside to attach the band and port will be dissolved by then.

Oh those sound good. I might have to try that. Thanks

How long do you think?

I looked on my gallon of 2% milk, and there is 11 grams of protein in 8 oz of milk. So I am drinking 16 oz right now, and getting the rest of my protein in for the day. It tastes a whole lot better then those protein drinks, and it's really filling. Just a suggestion

I'm like that too, I wake up and have no appetite...I hope that continues even after the post-op diet. Nights have been the hardest for me, because I ALWAYS had popcorn and a diet pepsi, and although I don't miss the diet pepsi, I do miss the popcorn. So I just go to bed early so I don't think about it. I have been getting the best sleep these past 2 weeks then I have in the longest..lol.

I am 13 days post-op, and obviously I wouldn't go now, because I know I am still healing, but would like in 2 weeks be ok? I mean I feel well enough to go, no pain whatsoever, but I know being jerked around on rides wouldn't be a good thing right now, so I am thinking a few more weeks... What do you guys think?

Hi!!! How are you doing on your post-op? Yes, I did make my appointment. I am having it done at the OCC on Feb 20th, they are picking me up at the border at 8:30 am. Then my daughter and I are going to Sea World for the day (she is ditching school..lol) So it should be fun. Did you make your appt yet?

Hang in there!! Trust me, you don't know how many times I have wanted chips and popcorn, etc..I just need to crunch on something. But a minute later the craving is gone. And definitely make sure you get your protein in, once I started drinking a protein shake, as nasty as they are...lol..my hunger goes away, and water too, I drink water all day, and that helps. Good luck, you can do this!!

That does sound yummy.

Oh ok, yeah maybe I will try the mild one. I saw in the recipe post you posted about the soup and how you added shredded cheese to it. Did the cheese melt?

Yeah, I wrote down that recipe, but I am so afraid to try it, since the tomato soup and broccoli cheese soup didn't sit well. I am afraid the enchilada sauce might upset my stomach. However, I am getting desperate and may have to just try it. I made a can of chicken noodle today, and just strained the noodles and chicken out, and the liquid was really good, so much better than just broth.

Too funny..lol. That's like I don't even like steak, but the one my mom made the other night spend like the best thing in the world. Today, has been rough for me, I can't stop thinking about food, and every commercial on tv is a food commercial..lol.

I hear ya on the soups. They are getting REAL old!!! lol My first meal is going to be scrambled eggs...and I cannot wait! I think I am going to go in work late next Thursday, just so I can eat, and make sure it goes down ok..lol

Dr. Miranda told me the same. She actually wrote on my paper no jello, and she said she wasn't a fan of Vitamin Water and the Special K water.

Yeah, I seem to be losing weight everyday, and I was really hoping that I won't gain it back once I start eating solids. I already dropped a size...YAY!!

Yeah, I need to get back on a regular breakfast/lunch/dinner schedule now. Today was my first day having a protein drink, I just couldn't stomach them any sooner.

Ok, so I bought the cheesy potato soup that SamanthaW recommended, and it was so good, and it didn't upset my stomach or make me feel bloated..YAY!! I could only eat about a cup of it, it was very filling. Then tonight I had a frozen yogurt from my fave place, it was a choc/van swirl...YUMMY!!! It's so funny, because I feel like I have eaten so much today compared to the past week, and it's only been a popsicle, a protein shake, a cup of soup and a small frozen yogurt.

Thanks so much.

I don't have a Safeway in my area, but I am going to check Ralphs. Would it be with all the other soups? Thanks for the suggestion, I'm excited now, something different..lol

That does sound yummy. Now, when you say mix, does that mean in a can or something else?
