  1. WTG!!!! I say if you are doing good with the 2cc I would stay till you start not lossing.
  2. Dr. Rochibe ( I am sure I did not spell that right) from Clinton did it. I am feeling really good! I went yesterday and I am able to move to mushie foods so I am thrilled! I have some restriction with the band unfilled, but I am ready for it to be a little more. I get to go Oct 9th for my first fill. My weight has kind of stop dropping, but they say that might happen before my next fill.
  3. I have been reading that thread and it is so true and funny!!
  4. Hmm, my dr only says no caffine for the first 2wks. I don't know why they would say 3mo!
  5. I voted yes because last night I went out and had a cup of potato and cheese soup, which I am suppose to be on liquid which they said cream soup is fine as long as no chunks, and I did take a small and I mean small bite of a potato in it and chewed and chewed and all was ok but I felt very quilty!
  6. I am on 14 days liquids and then start mushies.
  7. I have a loss of 11.5 this week! I was rather shocked. I have not lost anything for the last 2 days but that is ok. I am hoping to start back at Jazzersice next Wed. doing low inpacked. WTG everyone on the losses and even staying the same!
  8. Wow look at all these Illinois people! I live in Sullivan, IL which is not for from Mt. Zion at all! I got my surgery done on 8/27 and was self pay. I will keep my fingers crossed you get your insurance aproval!
  9. LOL That is great you and your mom are so giggly, but I hear ya about the hurting! I kept telling my husband to quite making me laugh because it hurt to much. Mine was more just muscle pain I have not had any upset stomach.
  10. It is nice to know lots have gotten to there mini goal in that time frame. I had surgery on the 27th and really want to be under 200 by January since I have to order a bridesmaid gown for my brothers wedding!
  11. Wow that is great you can go ahead on mushies! I wish my dr would have told me that LOL
  12. I was banded also on 8/27. I am eating chicken and beef broth, sf Jello, sf popsicles, K20 Water, Slim Fast Low Carb shakes and then I can have cream soups as long as I put them threw the strainer. I also have had 2 SF Vanilla, non fat, decafe frappachino from the local coffee shop. I am ready for the mush stage!
  13. Hi Targa! I was banded on the 27th and I still have pain at my port sight. Last night I tried to bend over to pick something up and got a sharp pain it really hurt! I am hoping that next week it will feel much better!
  14. I am also 1 week out and I am just starting to get hungry and not able to feel full as fast. I find that K20 protein water helps keep the edge off until my next meal.
  15. I am so glad you are feeling better! Hope today is going good also!
  16. :thumbup::blushing: CONGRATS!!! Keep up the good work!!
  17. First Congrats on your band!! I was banded on the 27th and by day three I finally felt "normal" again! I think you have to keep drinking and it helps! I also agree with eating sf popsicles! They help! I hope you are feeling good today!

I will have to go look at that website and see what they have! Hope your recorvery and loss keep going good!!
