I came home with my pain pump still in. No big deal pulling it out. Surgery date: 1/25/10

I have a high calorie day every week. Usually on Sunday. I usually go up a few pounds from it but I quickly go back to eating normally on Monday and I lose those pounds quickly plus a few more by the end of the week. It has been working for me. I am 9 pounds away from my goal of 135. 1/25/10 Surgery date:

That's awesome! I did the same thing the other day. I went to the store and started trying things on and everything looked good! I bought almost everything I tried on. I'm a size 12 now. Started in a size 20. I love shopping now. 23 to go! Surgery date: 1/25/10

So I got on the scale this morning, which I do every morning, and the scale said 161.4! I have lost 101.4 pounds in 9 months! I'm so proud of myself. Surgery date: 1/25/10 Dr. Cribbins in Plano, TX

I was banded on 1/25/10 by Dr. Cribbins in Plano, TX. I am down almost 100 pounds!

No sugar added Carnation instant breakfast is my absolute favorite to have in the morning. I am almost 7 months out and I still drink it. It's delicious! Surgery date: 1/25/10

I noticed that the low sugar power bars have a lot of carbs though.

I like the pure Protein bars. 2-3 grams of sugar per bar, about 20 grams of protein, and 6 grams of fat. They taste pretty good. Surgery date: 1/25/10

I am required to be on a clear liquid diet the day of my fill. For the next 2 days I have to be on a full liquid diet. Then day 4 I can start back on soft foods.

I would keep drinking something warm first thing. My doctor told me that during the night mucus can clog up the hole. Drinking something warm will help flush it out making it easier for food to go down.
