It can be really difficult. You should try to stick to liquids. If you happened to have a "stuck" episode and ended up throwing up your band could slip quite easily. It takes time for the band to "seat" itself and kind of heal into place. You do not what to jeapordize this. (anyway, that is what I have been told) On the other hand, my dr allowed mushies after just one week. So if you really can not stick to the liquid you should stick with cottage cheese, yogurt, etc.

You really need to get some kind of control because no matter how tight your band is or how much restriction you have you can eat things that are bad or wrong choices and it will affect your weight loss. Really think about why you did this and try to get it under control.

I wish you luck, it is not easy... I have never worked so hard at losing weight in my life and I am so glad I did it.

You can do it too!

Make good food choices. Healthy, protien. It really does help fill you up and keep you satisfied longer. The more you lose the more inspired you'll be!

By they way... you are beautiful!
