I made it through my first day on liquids!!!

Actually I have researched the pouch test. Have you tried it? I also have a question, where it says what you eat on each day is that the only thing you can eat or can you keep doing liquids with each day as well?

My doctor did a barium swallow and saw it was dialated. It can happen if you overeat. I've had my band for 4 years and didn't get it checked for 2 years so I never knew other than being able to eat anything. So I'm back to basics, liquid diet for atleast a week and maybe the 2nd week mushies.

How awesome is that! Not too many people I know that have the same birthday as me. My name is actually Melissa but I go by Missy sometimes. I look forward to posting my daily progree on here. Thanks for the kind words

Ok so I know my pouch is dialated and today I'm going to commit to a 2 week liquid diet and I really need your guys support. It's very hard for me because I love food so much. I need to get this stomach shrunk and back on the bandwagon. Thanks for everyone's support.

Joe I'm right there with you. I was banded in November 2006 and initially lost 80 lbs and have gained 70 of my 80 lbs back. It is not only an embarrasment that I let myself get back to close to my original weight but I'm very ashamed of myself. I'm really trying to stay on track with food journaling and working out. I will make an effort to start posting to this thread everyday whether I do good or bad. I wish you the best of luck and I look forward to getting back on track with you. Take Care.

I am getting back on track.

Hey Violinist. I too am getting married in a year and a 1/2 and want to be back down to my lowest weight which was 220. I'm back up to 289 (300 lbs being my starting weight) and have really been pushing myself to get this weight back off. I have 0 restriction so it's all on me. I could really use a mentor through all of this. Hope you don't mind if I message you from time to time and see how you're doing. Take care.

I'm sorry BWesley but 1000 calories is not enough for everyone. If it works for you that's fine but to say to someone that they're eating too much is not logical. I would be starving if I had only 1000 calories. 100 carbs is a lot less than you think. I've tried sticking to the 20 carbs a day but found that I was so sluggish. I say listen to your nutritionist and keep working out. The weight WILL come off. You're probably just losing inches and that's why you're not seeing the numbers go down on the scale.

I'm glad I found this thread and look forward to talking with others.
