I HAVE BEEN ON MUSHIES ALL WEEK, AND I WAS AFRAID I WOULD GAIN WEIGHT SO I TRIED EXTRA HARD AND IT HAS PAID OFF. I LOST ANOTHER 5 LBS. YAY ME..............I AM SO PSYCHED. I START SOLIDS TOMORROW AND I DON'T WANNA GAIN ANY WEIGHT BACK. I AM GOING TO KICK UP THE EXERCISE AN EXTRA NOTCH. THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT.

okay, Jen Parading Around In The Red Leotard Was Enough To Make Me Sick. I Cannot Believe That She Is So Self Absorbed. She Is Absolutely In Love With Herself. There Is A Huge Difference Between Being Conceded, And Having Confidence. She Is Definitely Conceded.

congratulations On Your Surgery Date. I Was Banded A Little Over 2 Weeks Ago, And I Am Feeling Great. You Will Be Fine. Stay Positive And Focus On All Of The Great Things To Come. Good Luck To You.

Thanks, I Was Wondering Why All Of A Sudden My Name Was Off Again.

Congratulations Nya, It Is A Great Journey To Be On.

July 13, 2007 Started soft foods today and did really well. Don't think I consumed enough calories, but oh well. I drank enough water, but disappointed that i did no exercise. Will try harder tomorrow. I am proud of the choices I made. I did alot of running around today which helps. The more I keep myself busy, the less time I have to think about food. Still not dying of hunger so things are going really good. Hope to make better choices tomorrow.

she Just Got My Vote........... she Is Adorable

DEFINITELY A GREAT DAY FOR YOU. :clap2::clap2:CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU.:clap2::clap2:

congrats To You Big Wave Dave....... just Remember Each Day Gets Easier And Easier. I Am Sending Hugs Your Way. Have A Great Weekend And Take It Easy.

i Was Banded On The 29th Of June, And I Feel The Same Way. I Weighed Myself Today And I Have Only Lost A Total Of 11 Lbs. It Is A Bit Discouraging, Especially When I Am Doing Everything I Am Supposed To Be Doing. I Also Understand That I Am Still Healing, But Man I Cannot Wait For My 1st Fill. We Just Have To Stay Focused And The Weight Loss Will Come. You Should Pick Just One Day Of The Week To Weigh Yourself, As Weighing On A Daily Basis Can Get Discouraging.

YOU CAN SAY I AM A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN JUST A 2LB. LOSS THIS WEEK. BUT I AM DETERMINED TO KEEP GOING, AND I WILL REACH MY GOAL. 2 LB. LOSS IS BETTER THAN A 2 LB. GAIN.

JULY 11, 07 ONE MORE FULL DAY ON FULL LIQUIDS. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT STARTING ON SOFT FOODS. A LITTLE SCARED AS WELL. I GUESS I WILL FIND OUT JUST HOW MUCH IF ANY RESTRICTION I HAVE. I FELT A LITTLE HUNGER THIS EVENING, BUT AM DETERMINED TO STAY ON TRACK. I AM PROUD OF MYSELF SO FAR. I WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW DOCS ADVICE. AFTER THIS WEEK OF SOFT FOODS I WILL START ON SOLIDS. I AM TAKING THINGS ONE DAY AT A TIME. I HAVE DECIDED TO START WALKING ON MONDAY. NOT SURE WHY I HAVE WAITED, BUT AM OKAY WITH MY DECISION. I HOPE TO CONTINUE TO LOSE BEFORE MY FIRST FILL. I KNOW SOME PEOPLE GAIN WEIGHT ON MUSHIES, BUT I HOPE I AM NOT ONE OF THEM. I LOOK FORWARD TO LIVING HEALTHLY.

thanks For The Information, And Congrats On Your Fill. You Are Going To Look Even More Awesome.

:clap2::clap2:CONGRATS TO YOU..........:clap2::clap2: IT'S AN AWESOME FEELING ISN'T IT? BEST OF LUCK TO YOU. HERES TO A SPEEDY RECOVERY. KEEP US POSTED.

JULY 10, 2007 I AM NOW 11 DAYS POST OP, AND STILL FEELING GREAT. I HAVE BEEN SO PROUD OF MYSELF STICKING TO THE DOCS ORDERS. I READ SO MANY POSTS FROM PEOPLE THAT EAT WHATEVER THEY WANT TO, AND I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. OF COURSE EASIER SAID THAN DONE. THE GOOD THING IS THAT I DO NOT HAVE ANY HUNGER YET. I AM ON THE LAST FEW DAYS OF FULL LIQUIDS, AND HAVE DONE EXTREMELY WELL. I START SOFT FOODS ON FRIDAY,AND AM A BIT SCARED OF WHAT TO EAT. I AM NOT SURE HOW MUCH RESTRICTION IS THERE, CAUSE I HAVEN'T TRIED TO EAT MORE THAN WHAT I AM ALLOWED TO EAT. ANYWAY, CAN'T WAIT TO EXPLORE NEW FOODS AND SEE WHAT MY NEW STOMACH WILL TOLERATE. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW GOOD MY BODY FEELS. I ALREADY HAVE SO MUCH MORE CONFIDENCE. ITS A GREAT FEELING. CAN'T WAIT TO WEIGH IN ON FRIDAY. I HOPE THERE IS SOME LOSS THERE. I KNOW THIS IS A TIME FOR HEALING, BUT C'MON NOW WE ALL WANT TO LOSE.

HI WENDEE, I WAS BANDED ON THE SAME DAY AS YOU. HOW ARE THINGS GOING FOR YOU SO FAR? I AM DOING GREAT, MYSELF. KEEP US POSTED ON YOUR PROGRESS, AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU.

melissa, congratulations On Your Decision To Be Banded. I Was Also Banded On June 29, And I Would Do It All Over Again. My Recovery Has Been Awesome. This First Month Is All About Healing, But I Am So Ready For This Journey. Best Of Luck To You, And Keep Us Posted On Your Progress.

i Guess Everyone Is Different. I Am With Denise. I Had My Surgery At 2 P.m. Did The Barium Swallow, Sat For A While, Left The Center At 4:00, And Was Home An Hour Later. I Personally Am Glad I Did Not Have To Stay. There Is No Place Like Home, And I Couldn't Wait To Get Back.

congratulations On Your Surgery Date Wrangler. You Must Be Soooo Excited. It Won't Be Long Now. Best Of Luck To You. I Was Banded On June 29 And I Have Not Had Any Problems At All. Hope You Have A Great Surgery And Recovery.

I JUST THOUGHT I'D JOIN THIS CREW OF LOWER BMI BANDSTERS. I HAVE READ ALOT ABOUT LOSING AT A SLOWER RATE THAN HIGHER BMI BANDSTERS. AND THATS OKAY, AS LONG AS WE ARE LOSING. BABYGOTBACK I GOTTA TELL YOU, YOU ARE LOOKING AWESOME. I HAD SURGERY JUNE 29, AND I FEEL GREAT. I DECIDED TO ONLY WEIGH MYSELF ON FRIDAYS. I START SOFT FOODS ON FRIDAY. ANY IDEAS OF WHAT TO EAT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. RIGHT NOW I AM THINKING FISH. I AM NOT MUCH OF A VEGETABLE PERSON THOUGH, SO I AM NOT SURE WHAT I WILL BE EATING FOR VEGES. ANYWAY, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK GUYS. SOUNDS LIKE EVERYONE IS DOING GOOD.
