OMG I can't wait. My band is a little too tight, so I've been on a liquid/mushy diet all month. This has been BAD because it's so easy to get too many calories this way. I've gained a couple of pounds, but that's OK. It's going to come off, and take some friends with it. I'm determined!

How are you guys feeling today?

I am a little confused, if your band is to tight when you're only on liquids/mushy foods, why would you gain weight.

@@Ldimples - Mushy foods are generally higher in calories and carbohydrates. E.g. If you're eating mashed potatoes, you're not going to lose weight like you would if you were eating fish and chicken. Now if you stick Protein shakes and sugar free Jello, then you'll keep losing.

Ok got it. Thanks for explaining.

Getting my second fill this week...hoping to get in the green zone soon. Will be 2 months post op next week and weight is at a stand still. No complaints though. I'm feeling great and staying active. Glad to hear you're doing good.

Way to go recognizing red zone -- I had to have a teeny unfill at one point. This is the upside of the adjustable LapBand -- we can get it where it's right for us individually.

He took out .5ccs yesterday. He wasn't pleased that ALL solid meats got stuck, and he had me describe the feeling. Umm .. "Ow" just doesn't cover it. The good news is, I didn't gain anything. I also didn't loose anything. So now, I'm hoping that I'm back in the green zone and can get back on target.

Also .. I'm feeling GREAT today! Interestingly enough, having saline taken out feels NOTHING like having it put in. My tummy actually GROWLED at him after he took that tiny bit of Fluid out. LOL!

I am four months out down 44 lbs

Never been filled yet

I am so happy with the results

Just got rid of the sleep apnea machine

Happy with my results

Great job!!

I would love to get rid of my sleep apnea machine. 68 more lbs might do it
