Questions about mushy/grounded foods

Hi there,

My name is Heather. I'm 6 days days out of surgery from the Lap Band. My incisions are healing up nicely and so far I'm feeling really good. I've been following the suggestions in the Book I got from my dietitian but I'm starting to notice my hunger is coming back faster then I had hoped. So I was wondering if this happened to anyone else after surgery. And how did you deal with it?

I called the hospital today where I had my surgery and they told me I could start having a few things that are in the next stage for mushy/grounded foods. So I was wondering what some of you think I should try that would keep me filled up for a little bit? Also did you stick to the sugar free stuff? Because some of the stuff has a nasty after taste, so I was wondering if something will happen if I have something like a Proteien shake with 20 grams of sugar rather then less then 14? Like the dumping with the Bypass?

Thanks ahead of time. Any input I can get will be greatly appreciated
it.

Heather

The good thing about the Lap Band is that you don't get the dumping thing :) Nothing bad happens when you have sugar, but that's why it's harder for some people to lose weight with the band, so it's just something to be careful with.
