I am so happy the scale finally moved in the right direction!!! I have given up on not weighing myself. My office is right next door to a health unit. So I can't help myself. Not on it everyday though. It's been about a week since I weighed last. Hope to be pleasantly suprised next Monday as well. Woo Hoo!!!

TJ congrats! I ate my first mushie last night! pureed chili ... I had about 4 teaspoons full and I was satisfied....WONDERFULL to feel satisfied after so little and I have had no fill yet, that will bae after XMas. I have had preotein shakes all day today too.....kinda scared to eat :thumbup: I might try a scrambled egg 4 dinner tonight!!

Chilli sounds fantastic. I'm so glad you've successfully moved onto the mushie stage! I moved into the full liquids stage today, and my pudding and Protein Shake with milk are so delicious. I ate about half a pudding cup and I think I'm full... I don't feel hungry, but I'm beginning to feel something in my chest that makes me think my top stomach is full. I don't want to push it on the first day, so I'll stop here.

When are you able to move onto mushies? You were banded the 27th? Thats just 2 days after me.

I've been cheating a little on the mushie stage and the scale sure is showing it!! I'm up 3lbs...-sigh- time to really get back on the healthier mushie stage...

[Soexcited 64]

What have you been blending? I blended home made chili last night as my first meal. So yesterday I had my Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch then the chili and lost a pound! Today I had the same Protein shakes for breakfast and lunch and tonight have blended up some Pasta with meat sauce ........... it looks like poop on a plate but OMG so yummy!

That is so cool. I am happy for you. Mine wont move sometimes for over a week at a time, then boom 2 to 3 lbs goes. It's crazy.

Soexcited, I move on to mushies on the 17th. My doctor is very conservative with the healing process, so I have ten dys each of Clear Liquids, full liquids, then mushies before I move on to solids.

I had my first fill yesterday.... 4.25cc. Didn't hurt just a little pressure ... no problem finding my port. lets see how it goes. Now the game is really on!

Well, lol, I haven't been blending anything. I've just been eating! Still pretty healthy, but probably a few things I shouldn't and probably more than I should. I did okay the first day on mushies, it was the next day that mushies just kinda went with the wind. But I'm back on it and starting to see the scale move in the right direction again! :thumbup:

how many pounds are you guys down Im down 14 since beeing banded on 11-16

[Soexcited 64]

I weighed 202 this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats 33.5 pounds gone since my first consult, 7 pounds of that is post op.

[ElfiePoo 109]

I'm down 23 pounds since my first consult, 9.5 of that (assuming I did the math right) is just since surgery. I can't believe it's only been 12 weeks since I started this whole process and the change in how I'm dealing with food, even prior to actually getting the band, is phenomenal.

[jenibeni 1]

I think my body is really, really good at losing weight quickly at first. I've lost 20 pounds overall, 3 of those being pre-op. So, since surgery (11 days) I've lost 17 pounds.
