I have not weighed myself on a daily basis because I think that I would be too frustrated if I gain so I have waited for my doctor's visits in order to be weighed.

Well, I went to my first appointment yesterdsay and I have lost 30 pounds since I was banded on Dec. 1. i am thrilled.

however, I know this is not going to keep going at 15 pounds a week (would be nice) but it is very encouraging.

I have been given the green light to start the pureed diet and to start weight training (light weight). i am on cloud nine. i have also dropped at least a pant size and I feel amazing!

30 down 170 to go.

Congulations, I was banded on the 1st also but my post op is'nt until the 18th. I'm starting mushies on tuesday if I can hold off.

Omg! You should be so proud of yourself. I was banded on the 8th but so far I haven't lost any weight. I heard that was normal. Anyway~ keep up the good work and keep pushing yourself and changing your life!:rolleyes2:

wow, I didnt even know it was possible to lose 30 lbs in two weeks. congrats. I know I have been lucky to lose at a steady rate of a pound or so a week and Iv had 3 fills which dont seem to help much and walking every day.

I didnt have to do liquids except 3 days, so that may be why others lose so much more at the beginning. Iv read many seem to do liquids longer. I did mushys for 4 weeks though.
