WTG!!!! I say if you are doing good with the 2cc I would stay till you start not lossing.

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.

I have been reading that thread and it is so true and funny!!

Hmm, my dr only says no caffine for the first 2wks. I don't know why they would say 3mo!

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!

I am on 14 days liquids and then start mushies.

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!

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!

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.

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!

Wow that is great you can go ahead on mushies! I wish my dr would have told me that LOL

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!

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!

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.

I am so glad you are feeling better! Hope today is going good also!

:thumbup::blushing: CONGRATS!!! Keep up the good work!!

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 was also banded on the 27th and finally feel good today. I drove yesterday and did a lot of stuff and by 9 last night I was worn out! I have 4 kids also and they do where you out! It is like the laundry never stops! I think i have lost 7 lbs but like you said all the scales are diffrent! I am doing ok on liquids and still feel full. I will have to go look at that website and see what they have! Hope your recorvery and loss keep going good!!

Congrats on your band!!

I got the hicups 1 day post op and OMG did they kill me! I have not had them anymore.

I can drink from a straw. I think it does add more air when you drink.

Congrats to you both! It sounds like it all went well and you have some good help!

WTG it sounds like it went great! That is a great NSV! I wish I liked seafood so it could be part of my diet!

That is a great NSV!!! Congrats!!

I have lost 1lb since surgery. I am hopping next week will be a much bigger number! WTG on everyones weight loss!
