Wow..Amost 3 weeks to the day that I was banded and I am down 43 pounds!! I can not believe that the weight is just melting off...and I am not even exercising yet...I will say though that it is obviously coming off slower (naturally)..I also am starting to get a little bored of my food choices (egg whites, cottage cheese, chili, chicken in a can, tomato soup) so if anyone has any ideas of mushy foods/recipes, I would appreciate hearing from you...I had some complications while in the hospital and the Dr took out 3 ccs from my band and I am starting to get hungrier faster...trying to use my will power to my first fill in Mid March...I also just finished my first week back at school(teacher) and it really went well...My incisions FINALLY closed a couple of days ago...Very frustrating when you are trying to work and be active...All and all I am happy with the process and the results and I'm hoping to start some type of exercise plan in the next week or two...A great weekend to all you pre and post bandsters out there!!

My doctor said i can eat grits... farina, plain oatmeal, cream of wheat and fat free/ sugar free puddings. makke sure the oatmeals are watered down.

good luck to you and congratulations on your success!

Congrats on your great wt. loss. Don't be in any hurry to get to reg foods coz the wt loss really slows down then . Also, I had my first meal after my first fill of only 1/2 cc and I ate a bit of scrambled eggs and a piece of turkey bacon and you guessed it - my first "sliming" episode. It all came back up on me. What a horrible experience. Not sure if I ate too much or it didn't agree with me or because of the fill - more restriction - but anyways I felt really hungry before that happened. I sure didn't expect that! I wondered what other banders were talking about when they referred to "sliming" - now I know - ha ha. Sorry to gross you out! Anyways - good luck on your first fill and hope things go well. You are doing great! :)
