Congrats. I went back to work in a week. Lots of up and down with steps. You can't carry lots of books. The two weeks should be plenty of time. wendy

depends on what you consider successful!! let me know what you may need wendy

dawn is right you need protein. When i did mushies i cooked regular like for family and blended it all. Tasted god had lots of flavor

Hate to say that your on track. So you can get through it. Keep drinking water and sf jello and sf pops. Walk as well. You are still healing and you need to give your body and head a break. Keep coming to LBT for support. Your doing great. Your job is to be practicing the rules with the portion size, chewing, when to drink and when not to drink. You will make it. Wendy

WALK it really helps Wendy

sweet do you get to ride too? wendy

Hot and Sour soup

They are ok. They do not taste like pasta but will do. The first day they were a little gummy second day ok. try it wendy

I went to a wedding today and omg so much food. Cocktail hour dinner dessert. I was scared i'd over do or get stuck. I walked through the whole buffet and picked 4 things i wanted calamari, shrimp,chicken,artichoke. Gave away all but 4 shrimp. Didn't like anything else. I realize I am very picky when i only am eating a limited amount of food. Dinner tasted salad, said no to pasta, had a small piece of salmon. Wedding cake no thanks cookies nah had a small scoop of ice cream and 4 m&m's. Wow really not as hard as I thought. Of course lots of dancing. You know what, i didn't feel like I was deprived totally satisfied not stuffed and pretty proud of myself. Wendy

I can't say this is normal but I can tell you what I do. We are all different and eat differently. I Have a protein shake for breakfast with lactaid or soy milk and protein powder lunch is usually 3-4 oz of protein or 4 oz of turkey chili dinner same sometimes i add in small salad sometimes i can't fit it When i snack i try for cheese, yourget, nuts, peanut butter or humus. Wendy

Pair of sneakers and crystal light or mio Different kinds of water bottles as not to get bored. Herbal teas Good luck Wendy

Hi, Being scared is totally normal. I remember wanting to leave as i was being preped for surgery. Surgery is scary. Its a new beginning. Good luck we are here for you. Wendy

My salvation is chili with a few kinds of beans. I agree you can end up gassy. Leave them alone for a while and try them again but less of them. Wendy

Have been banded 2+ yrs. Maybe slight unfill. Careful eating only soft foods can put on weight, Good luck Wendy

more importantly missy how did you get that pix in. Love it. wendy

Congrats and welcome

have you been drinking enough. Sometimes we confuse thirst with hunger because it sometimes feels the same. Maybe try new foods and step up the exercisewendy

I am going to a wedding and feeling down cause after all of my weight loss i can't find anything to fit. Went to layne bryant Everything was too big but couldn't find anything in reg stores either. Since my top and bottom are two different sizes I decided to get a skirt and dressy top. Easier said then done Last week I got a skirt size 12. So far so good This week i went through the tourture of looking for a jacket/ top to wear to the wedding. I went to Lord and Taylor and there were tons to pick from. But would they fit??? Yup they did. Thats not the NSV, well it is but not the one that i was posting about. When i finished in the dressing room The sales woman said which side did you get the clothes from so it is easier to put back and i figured large size right. I told her i didn't understand the question, cause they were 14, 16. To me that was a big size right. I told her the left side not right. She said oh thats the small side. OMG No one ever told me i was a small size. so a 12 on the bottom and 14-16 on top. I couldn't move i was in shock!! Wendy
