Good for you. I am in that funk now. Can you recommend the site where you found the recipes?

Guess I should have started my blog on day 1. But hey better late than never right! I was banded on June 1st by Dr. Holiver. I had single incision in my belly button. I feel great. Pain was finished about 4 days post-op. I lost 8.5lbs in the week after surgery. Nothing since then. :smile: I am a bit discouraged. I am looking forward to my first fill since I don't feel any real restriction now. I do feel like my belly is very distended. Not sure what that is all about. I need to break out of this funk and remember everyone loses differently and hope that the weight will start coming off!
