I too am new to posting.
I was banded on Feb 18th of this year, and am having my first fill this Thursday. I have lost 12kg since going on the pre-op liquid diet (Opti-fast) to date.
I have been pretty much sticking to pureeing my food, and I eat alot of fish and beetroot (weird, I know). I haven't really had alot of hunger until this week, so I suppose it's timely that I am having my fill in two days time. I am hoping the weight will still come off me... so fingers crossed.
Good luck to you, and let us know how you go.
