  10. They advanced me to soft foods starting sunday...I only had to do 2 days of pureed food thats yesterday and today to have a small transition...its just kind of depressing to not c results as soon as others... im wondering if the band will work for me.. im hoping that the fill will help me to make more progress
  11. Im 21 im not sure what size band I have...yesterday the the nurse practitioner said she wanted to fill the band to about 14cc altogether with but small fills
  12. I did a pre op diet I lost 10 pounds during it. But I have had an appitie since 3rd day post op I dont think I experienced alot of swelling becuse the only time I felt discomfort is right after surgery other than that nothing...from what I can c my incisions are pretty much healed on the outside my dr was amazed my body healed so much 5days post op :/

  21. So i violated my pre op deit a little but i guss not much.... protien shakes are just not my thing. So instead I ate fresh fish baked and fried with as a part of my 1 meal a day and I did struggle labor day I ate a bigger meal than I shoukd have but I guess it was ok because I worked it off... liquid diet how ever I passed with flying colors.... my doctor said my liver was perfect and i didnt have to have open ..i lost 10 pounds on my pre op diet itself!!! I wonder how are this gonna be now that I have my band... still have 10 more days of liquid but ill be just fine! Anywho surgery went incredible I fell good!
  22. Omg its in!!! I had a hard morning but after a nap I felt just fine!!! Im super excited to see what kind of success I wil b able to achieve:)
