Hi Jackie, so glad to hear that you have been given a clean bill of health and are cleared for surgery! I was worried and was glad to see your message that you were approved.

I didn't do so well in the beginning wasn't eating correctly & I began gaining weight. After my first fill I thought I felt restriction but, not for long. I spoke to another bander who had lost 45 lbs since surgery (we had it on the same day), I was only down 20 lbs from the liquid diet. He told me to wait 5 minutes in between bites. I'm sure that was told me before but I didn't remember.

I'm eating solids, mostly tuna and cottage cheese, yogurt and SF popsicles. Not much variety I know. I'm down about 29 lbs since I started my LB journey and only nine of those pounds came after surgery. I'm working out and feeling motivated once again.

Please know that I'm here for you anytime and look forward to hearing all about your surgery and recovery once you're all better. :thumbup:
