You are doing soooo good keep it up...Im proud of you..Its been 3weeks for me, pre op i had lost 16 pounds since surgery i've lost 9 more pounds..

thanks girl, wow. i hope my weight loss continues. i'm afraid that now that i'm eating real food(even though its mushies) my body will start holding on to it and i wont loose!

CONGRATS JEN!

What an accomplishment...I'm still on liquids! I called my dr's office and asked if I could eat some real food and they were like NOPE! They said it was because they sewed a part of my stomach on top of the band to prevent slippage, and they want it to completely heal. I am hungry and I'm tired of drinking protein shakes. I would love to have some scrambled eggs right now!

well done indeed! I am interested to see that your post/op was 1 week after surgery, mine was 2 weeks. Also, I was on full liquids for 2 weeks after surgery. Finally, my Dr. will only do a fill if I need it, he has no fixed schedule like so many others have. That is why I used him... he treats every patient according to their needs. He did say that as I lose weight, the band will need to be tightened as the fat around the stomach goes away, the band will get looser.
