I go back every Friday to meet with my nutritionist and get weighed in. So far so good.:rolleyes:

But now my diet changes today to "soft" food and I can eat meat again! I hope I don't put back any pounds!:)

The nineteen pounds includes pre op diet. I have been feeling very good other than itchy incisions and some mild diarrhea here and there:thumbdown:.

I go for my first fill on the 21st, can't wait for that because I am getting hungrier quicker now!

Just curious for those who have had fills how soon after 1st fill did you get 2nd fill?

Also any itchy incision remedies?

It is so go to know that you are doing well with your weight loss. I was banded on June 28th and is down 15 pounds. As for the itchiness, try Neosporin it not only helps with the itch, it helps get rid of the scars better.

cool thanks for the tip!

I have been eating mashed potatoes with purreed veggie soup all mixed together for dinner (i had purred chilli last night!). Yogurt/ protein shake for lunch and cream of wheat with 1 tsp of sugar free jelly for breakfast. I have noticed I can eat more the second week.

i used aveeno lotion on my itchy scars. My 2nd fill came 3 weeks after my 1st one... i think it was supposed to be 4 weeks but i kind of "snuck in" (smile)

Hi, you all are doing amazing! Congrats. When you talk about losing 19 lbs, and another one lost 15 lbs are you guys inclusing the before diet or is that since your surgery? Because I had mine on Monday, June 28th and I am only down by 3 lbs. Is this normal? You would think with only 500 or so calories a day that I would have lost 10!!! Please let me know. Thanks a bunch

My 19 is both pre and post.. pre I lost 6 and post 13.

They say the weight loss levels out after week 2 post op until you get a fill, but for everyone its different.
