See I did do all of the liquids but by the time I got to the mushy's my first mushy meal was veggie beans and chicken vienna sausages.... I was able to inhale a whole cereal bowl full.... then came the bagel..... with no side effects or filling... I guess I just have to put it in my mind that I am full and satisfied ... but I have to ask HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO GO FROM A SIZE 24 TO A SIZE 6??? Currently I am a 16 (on the bottom) and a about a 20 -22 up top (top heavy) .... I hate my shape, when I do lose weight it always comes off the bottom first....any suggestions on how to get rid of the arms, back, stomach, breast.... lol HELP!

YES I DID, I am starting over from stage 1 and will proceed to stage 2....I truly want to succeed with this surgery... This website really does help....I wish you guys were home with me when I get really hungry....like last night...to avoid from eating I just drank some water took a pain killer and went to sleep.....dont want to trade one addiction for another....

I here all of you talking about what your able to eat after the mushy stage and after fills, how about I went from liquids to bagels. O.k. I had two, and now I am starting over from the liquid stage because the 10lbs I lost last week I've gained this week....I was excited when I was able to fit boots I wasnt able to wear for the last two years so yes I've got to get my *sh together....But why is it I am not getting full after 4oz or a cup of anything. I dont feel restricted at all....well not since the first week....my surgery was Nov 13th A WEEK AGO! outside of the sour belly I dont feel a difference....AM I GOING CRAZY OR IS IT ALL IN MY MIND OR WHAT? ALL I KNOW IS I DID NOT GET THIS SURGERY FRO NOTHING AND I AM GOING TO LOSE THIS WEIGHT IF I'VE GOT TO DRINK MY TO MY GOALS I WILL....

OMG....I need help! I am 11 days post-op and I will not admit to the things I am guilty of eating.... I dont feel full, nauseas, cramping or nothing. I was even feeling around my very itchy stitches to see if I truly have the band. Guys I have eaten a bagel....and nothing. Its no secret I am not a discipline person when it comes to food thus me getting the surgery but I thought I would get sick which is what I need to feel so that I do/eat these things....I am going back to the liquids this week and I am going hard......I gotta get this weight off but I am feeling like I probably should have done the by-pass....Not looking for sympathy just some tough love.....HELP!

compare to you all I should be ashamed of myself....I 11 days post-op and already have eaten unmentionable things. I was dissappointed in myself when I got to work and saw that the 10lbs I'd lost last week has already come back. I am starting my liquid stage all over again and will vow to stick to it for 2 weeks. Gosh, I totally lost sight of why I gotten the surgery in the begining. Not to make up an excuse for my behavior but i thought the band would make you feel full? I'm not full or feeling any discomfort. After all this is why I felt I would be successful with this surgery because it would FORCE

4th Day post Surgery...Its weird and exciting at the same time...any advise? Feeling a little hungry at times, tired and lazy of course....some cramping after I drink. shortness of breath other than that I cant complain! Please somebody school me on whats to come in the first stages.. :smile2:
