After one week of "soft foods" I am beginning to get a little bored with the same foods...smoothies, soup, pudding, yogurt.  Mashed potatoes did not sit very well, so I haven't tried those again!

Any suggestions?  I am not anxious to put real food in the blender...does not sound good to me yet  !

I am really not losing much weight yet...but I guess that is not a concern, altough I would have thought I would have lost more.

Hope all is well with everyone else...feel free to comment or ask any questions...the journey is easier with others along with you!

I went in yesterday for my two-week post-op appointment.  Everything was fine...my blood pressure was great...117/80....hasn't been that low in a long time, but I attribute it to school being out!  I am a high school assistant principal, so blood pressure and school are definitely related   I haven't really lost much weight, but Dr. K said she is not concerned...liquid calories add up faster than we think!

Dr. K talked to me about the next four weeks...one more week of liquids and then three weeks of soft foods.  I can start exercising again, everything but abdominal exercises - those can resume in two more weeks.  My first fill is July 2nd.  

Please feel free to comment and share your questions and experiences!  I figure we are all in this together and can learn so much from each other!

Enjoy the weekend!

I had my lap band surgery one week ago yesterday - May 19th.  I am currently on the liquid phase of the diet and see the doctor again this Friday.

I made the mistake of not getting enough protein in my liquids for a couple days, and did not feel well at all.  Once I realized the problem and increased the protein intake, I felt 100% better.
