dumb
we were banded the exact same d ay, and have lost almost the same amount of weight. CONGRATULATIONS !! I klnow it was not a easy 47 lbs. I also sometimes think that, but the difference with the band, is we will have the ability to keep it off for good, I have lost over 100 lbs b4 and gained it back, lost and gained it back. i know with the band it will NEVER come back again. I can understand how u feel though, it is hard work, I knew from the beginning it was a tool, but after my slip and surgery to repair it, i def changed my outlook on the band. Its very powerfull, much success to you !

Soft Protein Stage
Hello ! thats how mine was also, i was so jealous to see others eating things that were not on my list. BUT still to this day i follow my Dr guidlines and have been successfull. I actully just started to make a protein shake and used soy milk, i have see others use that and thought GOOD IDEA ~~ but went for a fill yesterday and told about my new shake, and was told no good, to many calories =( so back to Dr;s orders. But i do know how u feel, keep up the good work and stick to what your DR says, not what others are doing =) they do have a reason for the way the do things, i bet u are right about ur thinking.
