Can someone please tell me what to eat???? I am at the soup stage as long as I dont drink water with it... and Im hungry for something to chew. Of course, cookies go down with no problem! I cant eat eggs or even cottage cheese so Ive been skipping breakfast and lunch is just as hard.

Dear Jaime, I too am dissapointed in my weight loss and looking for a support group. I have only lost 25 pounds since March 11, 2006. I have 45 more to go. I work out every day and get very frustrated not being able to eat food yet see no weight lost. Im in Denver and everyone keeps telling me that Im not eating enough - but it just wont go down. I recently started drinking muscle milk protein shakes. I hope to see the pounds drop off!

My surgery was March 11th. I have kept this surgery very private - no one knows except the girls I met in Mexico the day of my surgery. On March 11th I weighed 222... today 20 weeks later I weigh 207. I thought the weight loss would be faster.... On April 20th I had my first fill - 3.5cc.... no restriction. On May 3rd my second fill - 3.5 more... but I had to go back on the 4th to have 2cc removed.... I couldnt swallow my own spit. I keep hearing people talk about the soft food stage - but I only ate soft foods for the 1st 3 weeks. I can eat anything pre-op - except for bread. I have no support system because of my secret - and feel that I need help changing my mind set.... I desparately want to loose the weight. Start: 222 May 23: 207 Final Goal: 160
