was looking for people in Texas who have also been banded in August to sorta compare and support each other......I was banded on 8~17~07 and my starting weight was 253 and my goal weight is 159.....Still on my liquids until Friday then i move to mushies !!! YAY........

Congrats everyone on your banding and weightloss!!! I have lost 18 pounds in 10 days I was so shocked!!! I know that it will slow down and thats ok because I want this all to work out to my advantage and not against me......All i have tried on my mushies is mashed potatoes and a baked potatoe.....of course i could only take a few bites before i was full...it feels soo great.....im still gonna try to stick with mostly fluids and just a few mushies....a little texture seems to work ever now and then LOL.......sometimes i look at the food i cant have and i want it but when the reality of thats what made me get in the position i am at today i snap out of it........I have read stories on here of people giving up and giving in........I cant, I need to be here for my child and man did I spend 7500 to throw it down the drain, Nope I sure didnt lol........I also know that support for each other will get us through.....It helps to have others in the same position.........so, if anyone ever needs an ear or eye LOL........im here .......Good luck you guys!!!!:kiss2:~April~<br /> <br /> S~253 C~235 G~159<br />
