I have learned to have a Protein Drink on my way to work to help get in enough calories/ Protein. I Have done pretty good. I lost 2 more lbs last week and looks like I am going to show another loss this week. I sneaked a weigh in but it is not my actual " weigh in" day. I don't weigh every day. It can be discouraging. I am fine with 1 to 2 lbs as it is a safe way to lose. So far, I have had no problems with any foods. But...I mostly eat dofter foods also, like chicken salad, etc...

I will be on my normal foods stage in a few days. Will be interesting to see how I will do.

Softer, not dofter. Lol!

Hi bandits

Haven't posted in a while ! But I'm back (-:

I'm sck with a terrible cold at the moment but apart from that I reckon I'd be feeling pretty good!

I was bandit feb 24 2012 & I had my first fill on march 26 ... I have a 10mll band & my surgeon put in 5ml of Fluid. So I'm feeling a lot of restriction now. My surgeon cleared me for the gym & high impact work puts so I joined my local the other day & lined up a PT to help get me on the right track. I lost 10kg in the first to weeks but after that I started on solids, my swelling went down & my band loosened so I was more hungry & got some strong cravings for junk food. So in the second 2 weeks post op I put back on 3 kgs but my surgeon said he was very happy with the 7kg anyway. I'm excited to properly start excersising & seeing what the future holds !!

It's been awhile but im back...

As of today I am done 25lbs woohoo had my first fill on tuesday and sadly I feel no restriction. I only recieved 2.8mls and I and scheduled to return next tuesday for another fill. I've had good and bad days but I'm staying strong and positive. I've recieved several compliments which is always nice to hear. I've been approved for light exercise but still no swimming
