I’m doing good! I don’t have any complications and am in day 5 today. I have lost 6 lbs as of today. I took the week off and actually laid by the pool today.....Today I had 2 oz of yogert and 2 oz pureed chicken in my parents vitablender…..I’m drinking lots of water and cranberry juice. Everything seems to be going down nicely. I have been walking every morning with my mom at 9am. Today we walked 2 miles….I feel great!

I make sure not to drink until an hour after I eat. I wait 15 minutes after eating to "gage how I feel" to make sure nothing is going to come back up.

I am reading a book about emotional eating and really getting in touch with my zone...I have too. Actually, I am force too but very willing...One of the questions in my book asked...When was the last time you loved and nutured yourself?" .......years until today.....in five short days my life has made an amazing change......stick to it. This transition isn't for fence straddlers....just do it and get your helmet and shoulder pads on....

Sounds like you are doing awesome! It's so nice to hear the stories of what it will be like after getting banded. I'm glad you are doing well, keep it up you will be skinny in no time at all! :thumbup:

day 6 lost another 1.5 lbs...

Howdy! I am down 17 lbs, need to change my ticker. My favorite all time Soup is Chili's chicken Enchilada. My husband picked some up for me, blended until smooth and added skim milk to thin. It tasted heavenly!!!! A bowl can easily feed me for three meals.

Other favorites are Cambell's Tomato Soup and potato soup (you have to blend the chunks in the potato)

I'm drinking lots of Water, and get in at least one to two Protein Shakes. If I don't feel I get get that many, I drink an Isopure. It has 40 grams of Protein and comes in about 4 fruit flavors at GNC.
