How did Xmas go?

I think my xmas went ok. It was my second day of soft foods. I ate a little of the mock souffle that was served at breakfast (mixture of milk/bread/cheese/salt/pepper), but not much at all compared to what i normally would have had if i hadnt been banded.

Oh and i ate a cookie.. ok so it was a SOFT cookie, but i know that was bad..

Other than that i managed to eat some oatmeal + protein shake and chicken broth.

How did everyone else do today?

PS I go in for my first doctor's appointment tommorrow for my post-op checkup and hopefully have a new updated weight for my ticker. All my scales in my house are looking very promising in their predictions :)

Honestly, mine sucked.....

My wife and kids left me to go visit relatives. I did not want to be around food nor explain why I am not eating, etc. I stayed home alone and watched movies.

I had water, soup (cream of mushroom), protein shake (Naked Juice), SF Jello, New-Whey protien shot and more water.

I was worried about having to explain why I wasn't eating, and do you know that not a single person noticed! I was so surprised!! Let me say though - I did carry a plate for a few minutes while I fed my son. There were a couple of things that I had that weren't the best choices, but overall I didn't do too bad.

I did great. I was banded on 12/21. I was not hungry until yesterday 12/25. The food smelled great for the first time since last week. But I stayed on course.

But OH a Christmas Cookie would have been nice!

Hi all,

I think I did good, I overdid it a little. Food tasted sooooo good yesterday. I stuck to the soft stuff, except for carrots, I ate a few raw carrots, I just chewed the heck out of them.

One bite of my nephews cookie. That was it. So no sweets for me.

I did fine . . . except broke off a piece of my FAVORITE sugar cookie . . . and only ate a tiny piece of what I broke off because it tasted like sawdust to me . . . so . . . I wasn't tempted any further . . . which is a GOOD thing. I had to pass on the prime rib I cooked . . .but I poached myself a piece of salmon in chicken stalk . . . which tasted like heaven! I get my first fill one week from today . . . so I'm looking forward to that!

I did very good, but I have told everyone, it is kind of cool all my friends and family and co-workers now I have had it done so they are always asking how I am doing. For xmas I had a very small of sweet pot. and mashed pot. and even smaller amout of my favorite broccoli cassarole minus the chunks.I wasn't even tempted.
