HI I am almost 3 weeks post-op. I have lost nearly 25 lbs. I am weak all the time, which is bad because i alwasy havea ton of energy. I was put in the hospital for 4 more days last week because they thought i had a blood clot thank the Lord I did not but i ended up with pneumonia. My dr. says I can progress to pureed foods on Monday. What ones are good? I am not sure as to what I can eat. I can start on pureed meats in Nov. but as of right now I want soething that will give me some energy back. a list of good foods would be well appreciated. I ahve tried peaches and applesauce in baby food and like it but i did not like teh bananas. Thanks Jamie

Stephanie, I am no expert but have expert advice. Check with your doctor. He/she will know best. It could be something or it might be nothing. Steve

Hi, everyone. I had LapBand surgery on 8-15-06. I got my first fill two weeks ago. I got no results or restiction from it. I have been white knuckling this weight loss from the very beginning. I have managed to lose weight but this last week I have been going right back to old habits. Eating too much. I live 350 miles away from my surgeon so getting ther for fills is quite difficult. I will be going there again on 10-19 but I'm scared I will have put on a bunch of weight by then. Geez, I am just struggling and could use some good news from someone. I'm glad I found this messag:e board. I will read it everday for support. Thanks to all of you and good luck on the journey!
