Went to my dr. appt. today, and got the great news that I have lost 16 pounds since July 13 (consultation)! OMG! Now, I do expect that to taper off a little, of course, but it's a great jump start. AND, I am approved to go on to the mushy food, since I have done well on full liquids and have had no nausea. So I tested it gently with Cup-a-Soup, cream of chicken for lunch. I am really looking forward to Stouffer's spinach souffle for dinner. So, all steristrips are off, the port is where it should be, I'm moving along, and I'M SOOOO HAPPY! I just want to thank all of you who have made this beginning of the journey so much more fun and so much easier! I want to hear from other newbie banders, and find out how they are doing, too! Cindy:D
