(:crying::sleep::lol:sil)

hello well congrats on the fill and i am happy to hear it wasnt painful. I DONT UNDERSTAND YOU GAINED 30 POUNDS SINCW BEING BANDED? How is that possible ?

PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I JUST GOT BANDED ON THE 5TH OF FEB. AND I AM HUNGRY I DONT KNOW HOW I WILL MAKE IT OM THIS LIQUID STUFF FOR ANOTHER WEEK AND 3 DAYS. OMG IF I COULD DOTHIS I WOULD BE SKINNY

my blog says i have gained (3)lbs.not thirty, i would be out of my mine. when i first got banded january 13th.i lost 19lbs.i was not hungry but then came the mushy stage i was eating mashed potatoes.but they are loaded with carbs an that,s a no no.

My staple at mushies was cottage cheese. LOTS of proten. I can't believe you were still on mushies when you when in for your first fill. I was on regular food for a while before my first fill. Every doc is different. Does your doctor have a set amount he fills? Mine puts in until I feel restriction and then takes out a smidge until I don't. It works great for me!
