I know how you feel. My co-workers say I was so euphoric. I could'nt wait. I was don 041707 and to date have lost 17lbs. It's great. Good Luck

Thank all of you for the reassurance on fills. I am just discouraged I feel that being on liquids for so long I should have lost more. I guess I am just over anxious to finally be half of me. I must say I too would be standing outside with a spoon if it was raining soup.

:clap2: I am not on the puree food yet. I am suppose to start on the 7th. My Dr. wants me on liquids for at least 3 weeks. How strange though, I don't even feel hungry. I sometimes wonder if they put a chp in my brain so that I don't crave food. Where did you have you surgery done?

HI everyone, I am new at this so bear with me. I was banded on the 17th of April 2007. So far except for some minimal pain I am doing ok. I have lost 16 lbs, no fills yet and I start pureed foods on the 7th. I have enjoyed the readings and they have answered many of my questions. I go for my first fill on May 30th, which I am very nervous about. Will keep in touch. :clap2:
