Second week not as good as the first for me. I was banded 11/3 and lost about 8 pounds overnight it seemed. Kinda stalled since then, but on liquid diet until Thanksgiving day, then I can do mush for a week... I guess that will consist of mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving dinner... No company and not going anywhere for Thanksgiving so I don't have to explain, refuse food... I think that will be easier for me. Let's have a good third week!!!

I think I am going to have trouble not drinking with food too, I usually do Iced Tea. How have others dealt with not having a beverage while you eat? Thanks,

OK - all - this sounds really fun, but I was just banded and need a quick tutorial on challenges.... can someone fill me in? Thanks, Soph

I am planning on a week (banded 11/3). My main concern is going to be wearing a bra - I have an incision pretty high that I think will be uncomfortable. Also some walking, but otherwise a desk job, worried about energy level.

Not sure the protein count, but I got egg drop soup from favorite chinese restaurant and strained it. Tastes great, I am only a few days post op though. I have almost 3 more weeks to go.... Soph

Deb - I was also banded on 11/3. 4 incisions, painful, but not horribly so. Have been taking an RX pain killer, but moving off those onto Tylenol. I am moving around pretty well, are you? I am supposed to head back to work Tuesday or Wednesday, I think I will be OK, but am a little nervous... Sophie

Hi - I am Sophie and I am scheduled for November 3 as well! I am self pay, about 50 -60 pounds to lose. I am excited and a little nervous!
