March 27 is when he says I can have solid food. Two more weeks. I'm pretty sure I'm going to do it before that, though. You are so right about the cravings. I had been keeping track of my protein/calories/liquids so carefully until I began to get frustrated, and then I slipped up. I do exercise quite a bit, but more will help. I have twin 2-year-olds (single mom), so it's really hard to find time. I did this for them, though, so I guess I need to figure something out!

I meant to add in that last post that I was banded on January 3rd.

I am on soft foods right now. Believe it or not, I have had two fills already - one with 2 ccs, and one with 1/2 cc. I have a total of 5-1/2 ccs. The problem, I think, is the soft foods. They are going right through and I am not feeling full. I've been talking to the doctor's office/nutritionist, and all they are telling me is to eat/drink more protein.

Thanks, Sadie. It's great to know that if I go on solid foods it won't damage anything going on with the band!

I was banded 1/3/08 and am completely stalled with my weight loss. I am finding myself falling back into old habits, eating chocolate, etc. I hate that I still CAN do that. I thought the band would make it so I couldn't eat everything, but I have not yet felt full and I am soooo hungry. I lost about 33 pounds so far, because I was so strict with the rules in the beginning, but as I get more leeway, I am doing poorly. I am thinking of moving up to solid foods 2 weeks early so I will feel full. Any thoughts?
