welcome and congrats. i was banded on december 1st and when i went to my first week follow up i had lost 25 pounds. but the next two weeks i lost nothing and at my third week follow up the dr said that 500 calories was not enough and increase to 800. when i increased to 800 last week, i lost the 2 pounds. may want to think about adding to the daily menu. good luck and keep up the good work

Great news, tomorrow we are to have our Christmas luncheon. There will be some seviche there so that;s what I will have. It's white fish with lime and onions etc so no carbs or oil. I think I'll have to give up two shakes for it. I hope it will kick start me again to loosing a few more lbs. before Monday the preop appointment.

I had my surgery the day before you on the 30th. I'm glad you are doing well! It is definately hard during the holidays, I had a few slip up when I was baking with my niece and nephew. I ate some cookie dough, I'm so stupid. but i ate a few bites off my fingers as opposed to half the bowl which is what i would have done last year for sure. Luckily i don't have any holiday parties...i only have to make it through christmas eve and day...that's when we have some sweets at the house.well best of luck

Congratulation RoeRoe. I am glad everything went well. I get mine on 12/22, I am currently on a liquid diet. You are correct, it is hard with all of these holiday parties. My employees are killing me though, they keep bringing me treats that I normally would eat but can't @ this time. I show my gratitude and take the treats but I eventually give them away. I wish you success with your journey, I will be here supporting you.
