I was banded 8/31 and I have lost 18 pounds. I will get my first fill on Sept. 28th and hope that the trend continues...Glad to see you all having success with your band also :bored:

I just wanted to check on everyone's progress. I've lost 7 lbs since Aug 31. I have decided to eat mushy things like avacado, lentils in soup, small noodles, etc. I don't feel much soreness at all and I don't let myself get overly full. For the most part I stick to the recommended diet, but stray a little. I hope everyone is doing well.

John, that is good to hear. I felt like I was cheating because I've been eating the vegetables in the soups I've been eating! I don't eat much. I figure if I'm not feeling any consequences, that I'm doing ok.

I was banded by Dr. Benavides at Tropy Club on Aug. 31st. I have had relatively little pain. I slept for the first two days, probably a result from the liquid Hydrocodone. I went back to work Thursday......everyone noticed the 17 lbs. that I have already lost. I am currently able to eat low fat yogurt (Yoplait, yum), 1/2 an Atkins shake at a time, sugar free popsicles, and various soups. I even tried a couple of mushy veggies in the soup......I haven't had any negative consequences. Hopefully, it's not causing any internal issues. I wish you all luck! I'm happy with the results and it hasn't even been a complete week.:sneaky:
