Boredom is not allowed! I am just worried about laughing so much it will hurt my tummy! :banana

After clear liquids, my doctor added cream Soups, scrambled eggs, puree some veggies. Each doctor is different though, so you really need to check with yours and not go by what someone else did. I also had to start walking the day I got home from the hospital. Again, I am sure your doctor has his rules on this too. If you are in doubt, and can email your doctor they can send you some instructions. If not, I would give him a call. I was off work a week, then went back to work but worked shorter days. Yes, I was a little light headed and sore. Each day will get better for you, but the walking really helps. Make sure you keep sipping Water too. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

The weekend is approaching and I am so looking forward to spending time with "just us girls". I haven't had a girls night out for a looooong time, and I think it will be a ball! Is anyone else as ready as I am for this weekend?

Babs - I did the South Beach diet for a while and I really liked it. In fact, I still use some of the food choices that I learned there. It certainly took all the cravings away for sugar/starches. Leatha - Good luck with the fill! Don't get too tight, it's party time this weekend! :banana

Lighthouse you might want to post this on a separate thread, we have several folks that was banded in Mexico.

Pam - You are too funny! I'll tell my hubby that next time, I am just blowing kisses! ROFLMAO!

Have a great time! Sounds like a beautiful trip!

Mindi - Welcome aboard! Good Luck!

Teresa - What a bummer! Hopefully they can get you in soon. I know it is frustrating, but keep that pretty smile of yours going, it will be here before you know it.

Welcome to bandland! It gets better each day! Keep walking and sipping that water!

Awwww, what a cutie! He'll love that picture when he grows up!

I had my first solid food today, some moist chicken breast. I was in heaven! I have already figured out I may never have warm dinners again! lol It takes so long to chew each bite, after just a couple of bites your dinner is cold. I will trade that weight loss for the cold dinner any day though.

Great loss Penni! :banana :banana I too think the exercising does help.

Whooooo Hooooo Becky - You hit the 70 pound mark! :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana Great accomplishment!

Thanks everyone! Darcy - I reall think the exercise is what is making me lose. So, move it girl! Michelle - You are so close to one-derland, I am sure you will make it next week. Let's get ready for that party! :banana Greg - Pumpkin pie with whip cream, I was looking at that pie this weekend, boy did it look good. We all need a treat once in a while, and you had it without a gain, so that is great! I hope that big hug I got brings you some luck next week, just don't take it all from me! lol Vegas trip sounds like a fun time!

I did a little better this week, I am down 4 pounds! I love this band!

Congrats Kim, you are doing great!

I have one more week before I am on all solid foods, but I do get scrambled eggs, and most meat. My hubby was done eating almost before I started!

Paula - I'm glad you are coming. Don't worry about those kids, they will be fine, and your hubby will really appreciate you when you get back home.

Lisa I'm not nervous, but I am excited to meet everyone!

Good luck to you! We'll see you in bandland! :banana
