WOW! You started mushies so soon! I bet you are pleased! I have another week yet before I do, but I really don't mind the liquid diet at all.

The most important thing, they tell me, is to avoid vomiting, or lifting anything heavy. I am dying to get to the gym and do some weight work, but the doc says not yet, I should not do anything that involves the core muscles.

You will feel better and better as each day goes by...and as you fold up and give away those "fat clothes", lolol. Good luck! Teeli:thumbup:

Hello, I have been absent from this forum for a while, and just now found your post majj. I too want to welcome you and to let you know that you are already doing great!

There are a lot of nice, caring people here and they are ready and willing to help you out. I have learned so much from all the posts and have also gotten a lot of encouragement.

So welcome aboard! You are on your way to a better life. I know how good it feels to have my back, knees, hips, and feet free of 51 pounds they were carrying around!!!

Thanks Diana...I am doing well , feel great and if I wasn`t still a little sore I wouldn`t even know I had been fitted with a band...

At the moment I am sure the band is not doing a thing its my will power and determination that is keeping me sticking to the dietitians menue (plus I don`t want to put any strain on my tummy , I want the stitches to heal up and have no problems)...

I hope after I have a fill (6 weeks) I can feel the band helping me , because if I could have done this myself on just will power I would have , many years ago ..I need this band to Help... :smile2:

Have a Good weekend all ...
