They have me on liquids only for 2 weeks. Third week, I can start soft foods like scrambled eggs, mushy stuff.(Doesn't sound appetizing does it!)4th week, I should start incorporating regular foods in the diet. They say it takes about 1 month for the band to scar down. You risk slippage if you eat solids too soon.

That keeps me straight! I mostly get my protien from Atkins shakes, and yogurt smoothies. I've also had egg drop Soup, and I did eat some cottage cheese once, but I chewed the heck out of it. I just want to chew so bad! I've got to say that I am shocked that I'm losing so well, I'm down 18 lbs. today and it feels like a miracle. I haven't lost weight this well since I was a teenager, back in the dark ages! It hasn't been too hard, I'm not terribly hungry, although from what I've read, it will rear it's ugly head before too long.

Hi,

I just got banded June 5th by Dr.Lopez. I picked him because I have two family members that had it done by him. Things are great. I feel good and had no problems. I stayed in Las Vegas for a week just in case. That is were my inlaws live. We were happy with everything that we saw and did while in MX.

Vegas calling saying Good Luck to you and your new band! I ate a lot of Cream of chicken and other cream Soups. I put it in the blender before warming it up to liquify it. It really hit the spot.
