Topic: RE: WHAT DID YOU EAT TODAY?
Well I started the day with some egg beaters and cheese! Yummy! Had a string cheese for a snack. Lunch was 6 crackers with some tuna fish. Dinner was a lil bit of spaghetti with 90% fat free ground beef. And because today is my birthday and I couldn't have any cake I had a dole 100% fruit bar! I also had about 64 oz of water and one 8 oz glass of special request skim plus chocolate milk! Not what I am used to eating but I am trying!!!

The one incision that my drain was in is still a little sore if I touch it, but not bothersome in regular activities. I had surgery on March 21st. I wish I could offer more info, but I think that we all heal at a different pace. So there's probably no "norm".
Good Luck,
Robin

Well, I started my day with 3 tablespoons of Southwestern egg beaters with .5 oz reduced fat cheese. Then I had my protein shooter. For lunch I had carb control yogurt with 1 oz. of peaches in it. Then for a snack I had .5 oz of almonds and a string cheese. For dinner I had 1 oz of crabcake and 1 oz of yellow squash. For a total of 500 calories, 19g of fat, 15g of carb, and 69g of protein. This was a little more fat than usual, but that was because of the almonds. I also have had about 75 oz. of water. It was a great day!
What did you have?

Topic: I have a post op question....
I had surgery on march 26th and I feel great now 9 days out but around my largest insicion It's swollen I'm guessing that's where the port is. I was told it was normal for it to be sowllen but I was wondering how long should I expect this to be the case.

Hey everybody! Just wondering what everyone was able to consume today?
Topic: RE: help!
I know this is a late reply but.....If you could have lost the weight, or even controlled your weight without the band you would have. So now you have your band and it takes a lot of time and several adjustments before you find your "sweet spot" where you will be able to loose the weight. Try not to be too afraid to talk to your doctor about it all...maybe they will be able to help and adjust your band so that it works better for you. The doc may be disapproving, but he can't take the surgery away from you as punishment for being "bad".
Try to be as nice to yourself as you can.....this is a PROCESS not an instant cure.
