Welcome to PostOp October '10 Bandsters!

I'm hoping how good I feel right NOW (17 hours post op - main issue is incision pain) lasts. I'm personally feeling like I will be satiated on the full liquids (I get liquids 1 week, puree 1 week then softer-normal solids)... I have been OK'd to do SlimFast LowCarb as a liquid and Protein source, and I had at least 1 a day prior to the surgery, plain yogurt, which i used to eat daily, cream of wheat, which I love, and fun stuff like Jello, Yogurt and Popsicles.

Let's keep each-other accountable, motivated and feeling hte post-op love! And make sure to update your progress tickers, goals and status!

I am currently 5'6 or 5' 6.5 (depending on who measures... i'm taller at the surgeon's office than at my primary dr) My current weight is 266 (started 276) and my long-term goal is 150 lbs (the high end of my "normal range").

I hope to be down at least 15, but hopefully 20 by Halloween.... I'm also planning on spending more time than required on full liquid since there is no way I will puree meat, and only a few veggies are tolerable pureed... fruits i'm ok with... that phase is flipping me out!

I am just checking in with my fellow October Bansters. I hope all is going well. I am doing so so

loosing weight but still really hungry I go for my 2nd fill in march and hope i will be alot less hungy

then. :-)

How is everyone doing?????

I go for a fill on Monday.....I am close to my sweet spot.....
