@lamar44- I get so frustrated with people saying "you took the easy way out", "why didn't you just exercise?", etc... They just don't know my struggle everyday to stick to this post-op diet. It's like cold turkey overnight. No this is not the easy way but it is giving me a jumpstart but the maintainence is hell. Today i couldn't resist eating 2 twizzlers. I have pray my way through everyday

@honk- thanks for the "lift". You're right. I'm sooo bored witht he liquids. I can't do the liquids anymore. i don't eat the bad stuff on a regular basis. I'm going to pray my way through this because "cold turkey" has never been my friend. Can't wait till my first fill. I hope I haven't done any damage.

Thank you so much for asking this question!

I was banded on 2/23 and have no restriction. The first week was great since I was still swollen, but now that I have been on real foods, it is all willpower. Let's face it, if I had will power, I wouldn't have gotten the band in the first place!

I go in for my fill today, so hopefully that will help. I am down about 6 lbs from surgery.
