Thing is I don't think I'm losing 1 to 2 Lbs a week.. I feel at this rate I'm gaining some wait back.. I'm always hungry in between meals and the meals are larger than the should be.

How many CC's did the put in each of your fills?

I had my first fill 2 weeks ago and i feel like i"m still eating more than i"m supposed to. I don't feel the weight coming off has this happened to anyone? I'm going for a 2nd fill in a week do you think it will be right then? worried...:thumbup:

Thanks..and congrats on your success..

I LOST 12LBS PRE-OP I WAS ON LIQUIDS FOR 8 DAYS (JULY 2nd TO JULY 10th) AND LOST 15 LBS IN THOSE 8 DAYS I HAVE BEEN ON MUSHY SINCE THEN AND TILL NOW AND I HAVE BEEN STARVING AND I FEEL I CAN EAT MORE THAN I AM SUPPOSED TO, AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE I THINK I GAINED 5 LBS SINCE I STARTED MUSHIES.. ANYONE ONE ELSE HAVE THIS HAPPEN??:thumbup:

Have you asked your Dr. Why you haven't lost more?..See what he says and or recommends. Chins up..hang in there..

I'm the guy w/ the pizza :-) but even though i feel i can I'm gonna stay away from any thing remotely solid I'm gonna stick to Mushy..Mash pot, mashed egg salad ,Tuna salad.. try adding a table spoon of cambells cream of mushroom soup or any cream soup to your mash potatoes..When you go to mushy..out of this world..My kids try to take it away from me LOL.. good luck

Thx.. i went out and got some ready made mash potatoes and cream of mushroom soup.. a Tbl. spoon of the soup w/ 5oz. of mash potatoes...WOW.. I'll stick w/ mushy for a while :-)~ got the recipe from Official Site: the LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding System for weight loss surgery

I've had tuna (4oz.) with Home made roasted peppers chopped up about the size of a pea...then took about 6 croutons cut them in half.. and would have the tuna with roasted pepper on top with a piece of the crouton..and it does not bother me. and i hear about liquids and mushy foods not being able to stay down, I'm not getting it can there be something wrong w/ my band? I feel like i can eat solids too i took a bite of my wife's pizza right after i finished my tuna and nothing..mind you I was banded 10 days ago.. in other words i don't feel like i have to blend anything..

This morning i had 1 egg and 3 egg whites i measured them in a 1 cup meas. cup. it was 3/4's full making it a total of 4 oz. of food is this right? :confused: and i was satisfied.

I had the band and the Dr's said I was a perfect candidate because of my weight. I think lot's of it has to do w/ how overweight you are. It is said that you can lose more w/ the bypass but like the other post said it's a much more evasive procedure and long term the band be removed. good luck with your decision..

Egg salad, Mashed pot.(low fat) eggs scrambled or hard boiled cut up small

I went through it also. It goes away and when you go to the Dr. for your first post op visit and your down 12 to 15 pounds and you can go on the mushy stage you will totally change your attitude and won't regret a thing.. Try sug. free jello and ice pops and chicken broth.. it helps..

Had 1 measured cup of of tuna-salad. Wasn't hungry when I was done but I don't know if I had that "full" feeling. Is it the same full feeling as before surgery?:confused:

Thank you..

BANDED JULY 2nd ...ON LIQUIDS FOR 10 DAYS I'M NOT REALLY FEELING HUNGARY AND EVERYTHING STAYS DOWN. BUT THE CRAVINGS ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY:cursing:.. I TOOK A BITE OF MOZZARELLA CHEESE BUT I DID NOT SWALLOW IT, I CHEWED IT AND SPIT IT OUT..IT CURBED THE CRAVING.. HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS?:smile2:

Will do thx..

I was gonna ask if anyone kinda tried something Mushy within the first 10 days and if so what was the reaction , if any...So you're saying you went on soft food 4 days after surgery..

congrats and good luck. I'm gonna keep sipping all the liquid and jello for another 6 day then move on to the Mushies and soft yogurts and protein drinks..

Thanks..for your help

the instructions say to have 4oz. of clear liquids every hour. and they included the before mentioned so i was wondering if there was a limit to any of the liquid. Wx. can i have the broth all day long or the jello.. also how do you get one of those measuring meters on your profile

Ive been banded 3 days and doing the liquid phase..it also include sug. free Jello and Ice pops. for the broth i Buy low sodium broth i add a pinch of Finely grated Romano cheese and a dash of back pepper heat it uo the cheese dissolves and it tastes great believe me. My friends say eating with me is like having a catch with Mikey Mantle..good luck..
