First, can I tell you that I had the greatest pureed french onion soup last night? Oh. My. God. I only ate maybe 1/4 cup but it was absolutely delish! When I asked the waiter what soup was available he told me that and minestrone. I originally ordered the minestrone and he actually said "that is really not a good choice, let me let you taste it and you deside". Well, I did and it truly was gross! I thanked him profusely and he said go with the onion, no bread and we'll puree 1 slice of provelone cheese with it. Sounded good and tasted even better. I'll have a little more of that for lunch.
However, I am just not hungry. This morning I had about 1/2 cup of my smoothie that I made with skim, banana, greek yogurt, peanut butter and honey and I drank 1/2 bottle of the Isopure disgusting fruit punch cut with 1/2 water. Its better with water but still gross.
I'll have th soup for lunch than I plan on having a curried zucchini puree soup that was on Catherines blog. I will possibly have a jello sugar free pudding for snack after dinner. I know I am not getting enough protein at this point but I ordered the unjury unflavored and will start adding that to my smoothie and soups when it arrives. I am however, getting about 64 oz of water in so at least I am doing something right.
I slept a little better last night and even woke up at one point on my stomach! I than freaked out and could swear my port was rubbing against my rib but I adjusted my nightshirt and I was fine. I am such a drama queen! Anyway, I was awake from 2:30 to 4:00 a.m. but I stayed in bed and actually fell back asleep until 7.
My Dad and stepmom left around 9 and I am now at work for a few hours putting out fires. One is out, the other is smoldering and hopefully will be out in a little while so I can go home. I am still quite tired.
Other than all that, I am down 8.8 lbs., no surprise as I am eating next to nothing, but it feels good anyway to see the scale go down a bit. My belly is still swollen but not too sore. Is that weird?

The French opion soup sounds awesome. That's awesome that the waiter let you taste test, too. I would be tipping like crazy for that extra effort.
I have discovered that the Isopure unflavored powder in chicken broth is amazing! It actually adds an almost creamy taste to the broth. I tested that for lunch yesterday figuring if it was horrible, I could throw it out and have other options since I was home. Now I think I could live on that until this liquid crap is over - in a month. :) I am definitely learning that the unflavored is the best. I'll be curious to see what you think of the unjury.
Glad you slept better. Too funny about having to adjust the night shirt.
And congrats on the 8.8 lbs! You rock!!!
Isn't it awesome to be free of the hunger monster? That soup sounds delish.
8.8 already! Right on!
I'm glad you're doing so well. I didn't have much incision pain either.
I didn't have much incision pain. Just really bad gas pain, especially in my left arm. I wasn't hungry for a while either, that I remember. I'm going to go back and read my first few days! I'm interested to know now. You're doing great!! Can't believe you're back at work already!
We must have been banded on the same day... I am day 5 today too! I am using meal replacement shakes and homemade soups. I am starting to get worried that soon I will be hungary!!!! Its so nice to feel and see it coming off!! hanging in there with you xx
Congrats on the weight loss. I've been using unflavored protein powder to pudding. It doesn't change the taste and gets some protein in. I'm like you and can get maybe a 1/3 of a cup in at a time. What a difference, huh? Take Care and keep it up you are doing great!
Whoo, sounds like things are going great guns at the moment. You're making good, healthy choices already. Keep it up!!
Isn't it the most amazing thing to not be hungry or much interested in food? Keep up the good work, and get as much rest as you can. That's the key to recovering quickly!
whoo hoo on 8.8 lbs!!
8.8 lbs in 5 days..way to go Jaquie...
I drink the lite fruit punch isopure everyday. It provides a lowcal way to add some protein without much calories. I find that when it is very very cold it tastes similar to punch flavored gatorade. That onion soup sounds delish! Congrats on your awesome weight losses so far!
I'm wondering how they pureed the cheese into the soup as that's still a hard one for me to get down as it's more like chewing gum and swallowing it when I've tried? Remember this 'no hunger'...it WILL be back! Glad you're doing so well!
I just nominated you for an award...check out my blog when you get the chance.
Sounds like you are doing great! I hope I do as well as you. I keep checking your blog to see how things are going. Way to go!
You are doing great...and what a nice waiter!!!
