Well it has ben 8 days since I had my Band put in and I think I am doing fairly well. I started this journey at 301 pounds. I do not have a goal weight that I want to be, only a list of personal goals that I want to acheive with my weight loss.

My first week on clear liquids went well, if anything it has taught me that I don't need food to survive. Well you know what I mean. I started the mushy phase yesterday with farina for breakfast, sweet potato for lunch and then a yogurt for dinner. Today I had protein pudding and applesauce, tomato soup & scrambled egg. That egg never tasted so good in all my life!!

According to my scale at home, I have lost 15 pounds already. I know it is all water weight, but that's OK I will take it. I am still swollen so my pants are still tight, I long for the day that they are falling off of me!!!

Well that's all for now.

Hi, Oh they will fall off that happened to me. I am 2 months post op and the food is not important any more. It is all about what I can do with this new found energy for life. I have a sewing machine and I refuse to pay for new clothes just yet. I am taking all my clothes in. In one pair of shorts I lost an entire pocket. I do not care I have never been happier in my life. imaluckydog
