It's Been A Week Already!?

It's been a week already?! Holy cow. Lots and lots of down time, and quite a bit of pain, but I'm finally feeling a lot better (and TMI, but A LOT better after my first BM last night lol). I have my first post-op appointment tomorrow, but I did weigh-in today..... I lost 7.2 lbs! In one week! SEVEN POINT TWO! craziness. That brings me to a total of 14 lbs, and only 56 more to go lol. I am not expecting a huge loss next week, but I am aiming for 1-2 lbs. Did anyone get to start mushies on week 2? I don't feel like I have any swelling around my band, and I am able to get all my Protein and Water in every day, so I am just hoping I can start on some semi-real food... and maybe start getting some Fiber back in to my diet ASAP lol. woo hoo!

If any of y'all have a youtube account and would like to follow my journey on there, or have me follow you, please subscribe! My username is jessicakesbanded and I make update videos at least every week.

    The day I went for my 1 week follow up (which was Tuesday of this week) the dietitian told me I could start soft/pureed foods like potatoes. Happiest moment I've had so far!

    I am one week today too and had my one week follow up with lots of good news. First, I've lost 21.5 pounds since my pre-op appointment. Second, I get to start mushies today! I was so happy I went to

Remember to try & stay away from the processed meats. Though it taste good it may not be good for you. As someone else suggested the can chicken & tuna are good for ya. Good Luck to ya.

You are doing great, I will be 12 weeks this Tuesday and have lost 45 pounds with 40

to go. I was really sore for about two weeks, incisions are still tender to this day. I have had one fill but still not sure if I am at the perfect spot. Guess I will know when it happens. Good luck everyone.
