Hello all,

I was banded on Sept 22nd and have lost a total of 16lbs so far. Got approved for the soft foods high protien diet a week ago and enjoying being off the broth. Not losing quite a fast as before and I am definately having a hard time`sticking to the 1/4 cup portion size recommend by my doctor. Overall though, I am happy about the result and glad to be on this side of the surgery after my 6 month insurance-imposed wait!

congrats!! im currently waiting for tufts to approve me as well! three months down so hopefully by december ill be banded! how were you feeling afterwards? I know everyone is different but do you think taking a week off from work will be enough recovery time? again congrats and i wish u the best ; )

Congrats on the big 2 week weight loss!! Your doing great!! fight the urges to eat everything till your fill. It will be more than worth it!!
