i agree with u on what u said about it seeming strange....and it was hard the first week. The doctor is only lap band not gastric. he is suppose to have the highest success rate. i resurched him and it seems to be true maybe it has to do with the diet he has us on. i weighed in today and lost 16 lbs this week, it was a struggle but deff worth it!!!

wow, everyones is so different....

week 1: just Water and crystal lite

week 2-3: just water , crystal lite and Protein skakes (2 times a day)

week 4-5: mushy foods

wek 6 : regular food.< /p>

(no carbs and no sugar at all till you reach goal)

hello, i was also banded on the 23 of may and new to this site. I must say that iam a little jelious. i live in NY and i have only had water(plain) and crystal lite for 6 days.nothing else and iam starving. My doctor told me no carbs...no sugar....no nothing. iam ready to start the shake fase today and that last for 2 weeks. then i get mushies. i have no idea about if u are doing is right.....but ask your doctor before u try anything. btw the mashed pots Soup sounded soooooo good.! thanks your band buddie Care
