That is wonderful, reading your post has given me hope, I'm scheduled for July 23. I was getting a little discouraged reading a few other postings, they were so negative and complaining about not losing and deprivation. I was getting down.

Thanks for the pick me up

You will probably be gassy for a week or so, I think that is normal. I was never nauseated, so I can't help you there.

My diet was two weeks of liquid, two weeks of mushies, two weeks of soft, then regular.

Don't get discouraged. Every one is different. Some lose quick, some lose slow. If you follow the rules, you will lose.

Good Luck!!!

I had my band put in on the same day. I have lost 12 pounds as well, but I'm only allowed clear liquids until tomorrow. Then it's two weeks of mashed potatoes, grits, oatmeal and creamy soups. I'm still alittle tender, and these staples are killing me. I can't wait to have them removed on Thursday. I'm VERY gassy and it's driving me crazy, because I'm trying to get it out of me, and it just won't come out! Since I started the prediet on June 1 till today (July 1) I have lost a total of 23 lbs. I can see the bikini in my future!
