I am back at work after my banding on the 9th! WOW!!! What a week it has been. Just reading over some of the recent posts, I am glad to find out why I have been crying over everything I see on TV. Oprah had me crying all week.

I feel like a million bucks! I have already in one week lost 17 pounds!!!!!!!!!

I am doing the BIGGEST happy dance in the world.

We are going out for Mexican food on Sunday for my dad's bday... I am on the mushie stage... what do you guys suggest I eat?

Thanks!!!

Welcome back and congratulations !!

I would order a burrito and eat the insides

Welcome back...Congrats and wow what an amazing weight loss.

Refired beans and cheese....it will be the best tasting stuff ever. Actually I am having that for lunch w/ some spicy chicken stripes.

Welcome back..

I would just eat beans kinda sauced down with the green chili sauce.

JohnDeereGal, welcome back!!! By the way, you just had your surgery on the 9th, and you are already at the mushies stage? I am so jealous. I wish these doctors would all follow the same guidelines for the after surgery diet! I am still on liquids until the 21st, and I feel as if I am going to die. Well, CONGRATULATIONS on your surgery as well as your BIG weight loss!!! I've only lost 7 pounds since my surgery. I suppose everyone is different.

Welcome Back! I would have refried beans and some cheese, little sour cream and some salsa on it....I would usually make mine like a 7 layer dip. It should fill you up pretty well, just take it slow. Good luck!

Yea! Welcome back! Glad to hear it went so well!

I get my 1st fill on the 21st.... almost through with the mushie stage...

Congrats!
