This is my first challenge group. I'm newly banded and have my 2 wk post op appt. tomorrow. I don't have much family support about my decision but I know when the see the change then maybe there minds will change. I have been overweight as long as I can remember and I've lost before but feel like at this point I need a life change and so that is how I made my decision. Name, real or screen~ Amanda Goal weight for April 30th~ 218 Weight on April 1st~228 Age~30 Dietary goal for April~ stick to my mushy food stage and progress slowly to regular foods. Exercise goal for April~ start my exercise regimen. Personal goal for April~ stay motivated Date banded~ 3/19/13 Total weight loss since banding/pre op diet~12 Ibs What about spring do you like? The warmer weather and everything blooming.

Thanks for the ideas

I did get a list I was told no hard boiled eggs so I wasn't sure if I cut them up good and made it into egg salad if that would be ok. Anyone have good ideas they used for the mushy diet weeks.

Thanks everyone!!

Would homemade egg salad be ok for the mushy diet weeks 3&4 post op with light mayo?

Hello I'm 1 week 1 day post op and was wondering what everyone ones experience was with the 2 week liquid diet. I have lost 11 pounds but the scale seems to be stuck now and I'm doing exactly what I should. Any others with this is it normal?

Hello, I'm 1 week post op and feel good. I have been religious with my liquid diet which I was worried about doing but it really shows how much will power you can have. I weighed 240 on surgery day 3/19 and today weighed 228 I made it through two birthday parties this past weekend with protein and jello!! The only complaint in which we all have is those damn gas bubbles mine get stuck up under my ribs ouch! It's worth it though.

Thank you

Today is my one week anniversary!!! Started at 240 I'm 5'5" today I weighed 229 I'm actually doing great on my liquid diet and have not had much of an urge to cheat. Made it through my nephews 1st bday on Saturday and my daughters 5th bday party on Sunday. So far it's the best desicion I have made. Like many on here I don't have 100% support about my desicion to get the lap band, but I know it's for me and that's all that matters. When I'm lookin hot soon then maybe the support will come lol. Good luck to everyone who recently was banded or to those who are close to getting it.
