Don't base your weight loss on anyone else's! Remember, this is YOUR journey. 11 pounds down is great! If your concerned about gaining weight on mushies, find out how many calories you are allotted per day and stick to it and write everything that goes into your mouth down. Writing it down is not only a good idea for your information, but later if you are not losing you can show a nutritionist or doctor your diet and they may have suggestions of how to tweak it for better results! Same goes for your exercise regimen. Hungry is normal. You may even experience hunger after your first fill. This is just something you will have to fight until you get a proper amount in your band! Be assured, this is only temporary! This is not how it will stay! So don't be self destructive during this time, be patient! Good Luck, your doing great!

oh man i sure hope it gets better. I spent a lot of money. I am sure things will get better. it has to. I mean we are restricted some what and even with that we should still lose right? Maybe it just takes a little while. I am trying to eat a higher protien diet and walk for 45 minutes a day. I was always told if we consume less then we burn then we should lose weight. We just have to stick with it.

I will follow a liquid diet today, and return to Phase 4( solid foods w veggies) on tomorrow. My nutritionist said there will be restriction, so I may want to do mushies,and gradually work my way back. But listen to the Band, and stop when I'm full.
