Aza......all I can say is try to stay focused and take extra care of yourself (get a pedicure this week!).....you'll get restricted enough soon.....and the weight will start to come off......you go girl!

Hi there.....I was banded July 30th......the recovery was VERY smooth and I felt pretty good right after surgery. I was just groggy......I was up and walking quickly, rested well and transitioned well. Get your rest.....take care of your body......be patient......

I was banded July 30th......how is everyone doing? I'm down 31.6lbs which included the two week pre-op diet......have had two fill and two defills.......slowly getting the fill working....... How about you? Struggles? results? Share great news?

You look gorgalisious!!!!!!!!!! (is that a word???) You go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are inspiring!:whoo:

My port is turned/flipped.....I get my port filled standing up....not a big problem........

Any comments about pre Op and post Op care would be appreciated.........

I was banded at TLBC on July 30th.....feeling good.......welcome!

add a bit of istant coffee (I use decaf) and a little vanilla extract.....all the flavor without the fat and sugar.......

I am 4 and a half weeks in.........2 weeks pre op......2 1/2 weeks post op..........I feel FABULOUS........I'm down 27lbs.....my skin looks great......my hair looks great........my energy level is way up........this is the BEST decision I've ever made.....I'm self pay $16,500 and I do not regret one penny.......I look forward to better health and energy every day........ All the best to all of you.........you can do this.......

thanks! i didn't realize there was a food thread!

Hi all, I'm another week on liquids and then have two more weeks on puree. I'm looking for what you guys ate (drank!) during the liquid post op.........and what you ate during the puree two weeks. I want some variety to make is easier to follow.......and maybe that's not possible...... Now, during liquid stage I'm having soup, protein shakes, SF popsicles, yogurt and jello.....any other ideas? Any interesting ideas during the puree stage? Thanks for your help and support! Caroline
