Hey Kim! Nice to hear from you! Im doing pretty good. Ya know, i'm 3 weeks post op and still on full liquids. So far, all i eat pretty much is creamy soups, protein drink, s/f jello or pudding and yogurt and crystal lite - so basically the same stuff you are. I go see the doctor for a post op appt on friday. I wont get my first fill for about 2 1/2 or 3 more weeks. I do feel good...and i do worry about starting to eat normal foods again - right now there is no restriction and after 5 weeks of eating like this, i'm just afriad of going overboard or hurting my insides!

I've played with a 8 lbs loss since surgery - up 1/2 a lb down 3/4's etc. but i can see myself losing--i guess inches..people are just starting to notice and say things (25 lbs you'd think someone would notice!)

I th ink once i have a fill and KNOW i can't overeat, maybe i'll calm down some lol.

Glad to hear your doing well! I just wish we could lose as quickly as i seem to put the weight ON ! LOL

I hear ya...i'm still healing and i do feel that...i'm trying not to stress. I do hope to feel a restriction with the fill---but my dr wont do a fill for 6 weeks...wierd how these dr are so different. I've been eating cream of brocolli soup and there is an awesome tomato basil soup that is creamy and sooo good--they have i at Albertsons and Vons..not sure what grocery stores you have , but they are good. I've had cream of potato too. I got my kids some pizza last weekend..and i woudl have been so happy to sit and just off the toppings, lol not even the pizza crust! My treat is the s/f jello with some cool whip. Yum.

Well good luck with your fill! Take care.

Hello there! Are you still be banded tomorrow??? Good luck to you ! Get rest, take your pain meds and good luck with your new life!!!!! I'll be thinking of you!

Hi there CeeCee. Well, Im doing pretty good..but my loss hasnt been as good post op as most of you guys...Im down 6 lbs. since surgery....i wonder what i'm doing differently....in any case, i dont feel any restriction, so i'll be anxiously awaiting my first fill. Im on "mushies" now...so i had some cottage cheese, lol Big whoop huh?

Hello there! I'm doing ok thanks...Your right - i cant believe its been two weeks - starting this 3rd week now i'm allowed "mushies" = i'm still doing thicker soups....today i actually had some cottage cheese....The best part is my blood sugar levels have been pretty low - thats a good thing. In the past 2 weeks, I've only lost like 6 lbs....but in any normal diet, thats alot. Yet i'm sure others are losing more....i can see a slimmer face - thats exciting...and clothes are fitting nicer. but i really feel i have no restriction at all right now - i have a dr appt next friday but another 3 weeks after than before the first fill. Are your incisions healed up???

Hmm....there was a tread on this site somewhere and alot of people went back to carbonated beverages..some didnt. Personal preference i guess....I can imagine taking small sips of a diet coke here and there (love them)...but defiantely not for awhile.....today i was actually UP 1.2 lbs. I was mad! How can that be? lol. Someone told me to stay off the scale - yet, thats hard to do. We went through this to ultimately lose weight..granted maybe i shouldnt weigh daily, but stay off the scale? Um.no. lol.
