Hi Kage, Congratulations on your loss! I too have lost a substantial amount in the first week but im told it will slow down. I too took matters into my own hands and blended up some low-fat savoury mince and rice just to get myself full. I ate very slowly and have had no issues at all. I guess we know our bodies the best of all! IM just gonna go with it. I had a cup of fresh fruit salad for dinner, cubed small and the natural sugar made me feel great! I think the main thing is to not go over board and to go with what feels right! I'm sure your not about to tuck into a steak, chips and salad! lol. Good luck for the future.... Lisa

Hi Kiwi Girl in oz...Congratulations on making your decision! After all this journey is about us and our decisions and not who or what anybody thinks about our choice. I too was reluctant to choose this form of extreme weight loss but in the end made the decision because its me who has to live with it and im so glad now 1 week post op that i have chosen this path. Good luck for you in the future and I hope that you get everything you want out of YOUR journey. By the way out of curiousity can you tell me what your weight started at and what you are now? Ive lost 6.1kg in my first 6 days and although im still healing I'm so keen to see what the future holds for me! Keep Well.... Lisa, Western Australia
