same here...my surgery was 8/13 but my fill is not until oct. My doctor told me at my follow up appointment that not everyone needs a fill. If you can loss the weight without a fill than they don't fill it, if you feel like you need more restrictions than they fill it. I have also been ok with my eating and eat very little...in fear that i will mess things up.... -
hey there! I'm doing well
My doctor said to start soft foods and so far tuna and hard boiled eggs have made it down except the tuna was a little to dry once i had chewed the crap out of it If the scale was right, I may potentially be down another 10-13 pounds. I'm going to wait for my weigh in at the doctor next week before i proclaim that one for sure! Hope you're well! when do you start mushies? -
congrats on our surgery....hope all is well with you...i got banded 8/13/10 and it's been tough with the liquids...but it's so worth it....i already see some changes
-

I'm starting to miss food...lol....i'm going on my third week and i had my mom make some indian lentils and blend it so it's like soup so i can at least eat something appetizing...i see my doctor this wednesday, so i'm hoping he'll allow me to start eating things like tuna and fruits...something other than liquids....kinda getting tired of liquids...:biggrin: -

my doctor also put me on 2 weeks of liquids...i'm barely going on my 3rd week and now i'm starting with more thicker liquids like pudding, yogurt, cottage cheese and thicker Soups.....it is hard but i pulled through it...i lost 15lbs the first 2 weeks...i know the weight loss is going to halt until i get my fill, but i'm trying to get as much Protein and Water as i can without overfilling myself and gaining the weight back....good luck! :thumbup: -

that's strange they usually ask you if you feel ok enough to go home....what time did you go in for surgery? i only went home the same day because i hate staying in a hospital and i felt ok enough to leave....my surgery was at 10am and i check out at 9pm.....made a last minute decision to go home instead of staying over night.... -
congrats on your surgery....i had mines on the 13th of aug...already seeing some changes
and so will you if you stick with the diet that your doctor gives you....it's hard but worth it!
