Congratulations, Staci. Yes, your weight loss will slow down, but that's normal. Even if you haven't consumed much since you were banded, probably a lot of your loss is Water. Still, every pound helps. And what a great way to start the new year!

When do you move onto mushy foods? That will help take care of your hunger.

Staci, fifteen pounds gets you a big high five! Good going. The loss will slow down, but if you work hard and really really really practice your new eating habits, the loss will be consistent. Good luck!

Delarla, we have the same doctor. Zoe, Ive been on mushy food for several days....thats the scary part! I ready for the real stuff!

Instant mashed potatoes, guacamole, and hummus helped get me through mushies. Check out the food forum (go to "Forum Jump" at the bottom of the web page) for some other suggestions. The good news, Staci, is that the return of your appetite means your body is recovering nicely from the surgery!

Staci, is your doctor Lopez or Kuri?

staci: this is wonderful to ge doing so good . I wish you the best of luck. Keep us posted!!!

Delarla,

Its Dr. Lopez Corvala. Thanks all!!
