Hello Pipersfour. I'm glad you said hi. I was banded on 12/29, the same as you. I have lost a total of 21 lbs so far. The last week and a half with no loss I have my first fill scheduled for 2/10, and my doctor said until then to SLOWLY add normal food into my diet and keep a log about how I handle the different foods. Along with the normal cottage cheese and yogurt ect..., I have been able to eat all kinds of soups, really mushy noodles and tomato sauce, and even once a bean and cheese burrito. I have been really careful to chew and chew my food to make sure everything is really mushy before it goes down, and so far no problems. I think at this stage chewing is the key thing to learn. I often just want to swallow after 5 chomps.

I hope you write back and let me know how you are doing. Talk to you soon.
