I was banded 12/29 and honestly I have no idea how much I have lost because I don't own a scale. I am excited to find out because I feel like I have a lost a little. When I did I obsessed or would become depressed by the number. I had a lower BMI pre-op so I did not have a diet before. My only complaint so far is hunger!! I don't feel as though I have restriction! I eat my small mushie portions and do not feel full. In fact I have been hungry since 2 days post-op. Has anyone else experienced this? I am following the guidelines to a T, but I am dying with the hunger. My first fill is 1/24/12. I sincerely hope that helps! I would not change my decision, but it has been hard!

I agree with the post about carton soups. If you have a Trader Joe's in your area they have excellent carton soups. You know what else is awesome? Mix in a few spoon fulls of plain/lowfat greek yogurt (I like the brand FAGE). Anyhow it makes the soup taste creamy and delicious as well as adds an excellent source of protein. Good luck to you!
