I went for my 2 week check-up at Dr. Cobourn's office and met with Sue. She said I was doing awesome! I was really excited. We just went over some basic stuff, like I could go swimming, have a bath etc. She clipped one stitch that I had.

Then we got to the topic of food. She said I could start on soft foods right away, which included fish. I practically yelled at the poor lady "can I have salmon sashimi?" She said yup, so that is what I had for dinner, I don't think I have ever been so excited. I told my hubby, that I think this is the first time I actually "tasted" it, because with each piece I took 5 little bites, chewed the heck out of it and put my chopsticks down in between.

I know I don't have my first fill yet and I am technically still in "bandster's hell" but it has just been upgraded to purgatory.

I am so happy that I did this, I already feel so much better. And I am on my way to Twoterville!

Hi Doxielover,

I bet your first bite of food tasted awesome! You should be so proud about how much weight you have lost so far...great job!

I'll be joining in in "Bandster Hell" in about 3 weeks. Actually, make that in 1 week since that is when I start the infamous liquid diet.

Lisa, CONGRATS

I thought about you yesterday when I met with Sue. I too asked about food, in particular Peanut Butter, and she said I could have it. I was told I could start soft also. I am actually scared to try it. I continued with puree yesterday and today. I suppose eventually I will lose my fear and actually try soft !! I am looking forward to swimming this weekend!

Congratulations to all of you. You are doing fabulously and should be very proud of yourselves!

Michee, How are you doing?
