Week 1 in the Journey

Mar 20, 2009

I have finally begun the journey of WLS. I am 5 days in and I am recovering nicely.  It is hard having a toddler in the house. She does not understand why I am not able to play with her as much as before or lift her all of the time. This has been my greatest struggle so far, but I keep reminding myself that part of my decision for the Band was to be a healthier mother for her. 
I am surprised to see all of thr different post-op diets on here. It seems like everyone is told different things which concerns me a little. You would think there would be one diet that all should follow after surgery.  I am at what Tufts Medical Center calls Stage 3 foods which consist of protein shakes, egg beaters, cottage cheese,yogurt (greek & light yogurt), clear liquids, and cream based soups.  I am definitely mourning the loss of food this week, and I am trying to stay busy with other things to keep my mind off of food!
