Well Monday is 3 weeks post op for a total loss of 20 pounds. I only lost 1 pound this week. Hey I was happy:thumbup: I thought for sure now that I am on regular foods I was going to gain!! I had a couple of interesting moments this week trying foods and being STUPID :laugh:! Even though my band has no fluid I can not eat nearly what I ate before and dry foods have a really hard time going down. I got a turkey and swiss wrap the other day took one bite and felt like I was choking.:smile2:

It was weird I would have thought the stuck feeling would have been lower but it was stuck right in my esophogus. And what did I do... drank water.. nope wrong thing to do. I actually used some of the tips I saw on here and streched my arms over the doorway and it was all ok in a few minutes. I find it VERY hard not to drink while I eat. Probably one of the hardest things to get used to! My next appointment is for my first fill on the 21st, I am determined to be at least 5 pounds less by then!!

The best thing that happened to me this week was my dad (always very critical of my weight) saw me in shorts and said hey I notice already NOW DON'T GET TOO SKINNY! :) I really appreciate all the posts on here they help more than you know!

I'm in between 2nd and 3rd week post-op too and I lost about the same as you. I read somewhere else on here that folks stall out right now. My dietician also told me that this week, so I guess we are normal. That rocks that your Dad said that comment to you - good for you! Keep it going - you are going to do this and succeed!! Good luck!

Hello 2excited I stop drinking liquid with my food or placing them in front of me, nor do I order any when am out eating, because I have a haibit of drinking while am eating. This is what helped me. Good luck!

I am so happy for you Cris. Keep up the good work. Thumbs up to your dad - that was great. Perhaps it was not what you ate that got stuck, but maybe you didn't chew well enough? I haven't had that happen to me and I hope it never does, it sounds horrible. I hope you never have that happen again. Have a great weekend.

You will do fine! I remember the first time I got stuck, oh it was terrible, yes and I too thought drinking something would help me to move it down the track, WRONG! LOL it is funny now but not then. Keep up the good work, don't expect too much weight loss the first month, just heal and get well and the losses WILL Come, Praying for you!

Congratulations on your weight loss and progress. I know the comment from your dad had to be the highlight of your day. It is amazing how much a little encouragement can boost ones belief in themselves.

Way to go! Keep up the great work!
