It feels pretty good to start brushing my old self off! Good luck to you!

25.6 lbs down as of today! I was banded on 4/17 and have my first fill next week. I know I'll plateau eventually, but I'm feeling pretty damn good about myself today! XXL shirts are a thing of the past, currently in an XL... On my way to a medium!

My surgeon said to freeze liquid gels and cut them with a sharp knife. Does that help?

Congratulations and enjoy that cruise!!!That's incredible! I was banded 2 weeks ago and I'm puching for 50 by New Year's. I'm at 20 now, but your story is incredibly motivating for me pI was on liquids for 10 days before and 3 weeks after (so 8 more days). Then 3 weeks of purees. The place I had mine done recommends that for all patients. I see so many people moving past liquids! I'm jealous, but my scale is moving quickly (19 lbs so far) so I guess I can manage.They told me nothing thicker than what fits through a straw. Jello and pudding (even sugar free) were on the no list. Popsicles are a great idea, though. Thanks!Hey guys! I'm so glad I found this site. I'm Rebecca and I was banded a week and a half ago. I'm about halfway through my liquid diet and getting bored. I'm mostly drinking protein drinks, water, iced tea and broth. Any suggestions? Liquifying foods sounds unappealing to me. Thanks!
