Is this for me? My first fill will be on 5/26, which is six weeks post-op. I've factored that in as two add'l liquid diet days, albeit clear ones. That means approximately five weeks of solids after 1st fill.

Three pounds per week sounds awesome.

Yes that was glad you realized. Im new to all this not sure how to respond to someone directly. I was only on liquids for a day after my fill, but evey doctor is different. Im sure you will do great. So did you decide how much you want to try to loose you have done great so far Trish

I would love to join the challenge. It will be my first aim. I am going to say 20 pounds cause I really have no clue since my surgery is this Tuesday but it will be something to aim for.

Great. Thanks for your help Trish and for the compliment. My 6 weeks post-op liquid diet with no mushies is apparently pretty unusual. I'm using your 3 lb. per week target and shooting for 24 lbs total. Thank you for the help and good luck on the challenge!

I'd like to participate as well. This is my first challenge. I was banded on March 15th and will be the big 40 on June 21st. I would like to lose 19 lbs. by July 4th. Hopefully my second fill scheduled for June 1st will help. Good luck everybody.
