progress report

Hello All,

Just wanted to update everyone on my progress. I was banded 2 weeks ago tomorrow. I am just so happy those 2 weeks are over. I went to see my Doc. today I have lost 11 lbs. I was thrilled. I have also graduated to soft foods, oh I am so glad. I think the 3 weeks of liquids was worse than the surgery. Tonight I went out and celebrated with my husband. We went out for mexican and I ate about 1/2 cup of refried Beans and about 1 cup of salsa and I was thanksgiving day full. I couldn't beleive it. In the past I would have eaten a full basket of chips salsa and a full meal, then gone for ice cream. Not tonight, I just can't beleive how this band is working. I get my first fill on Sept 15th so I am looking forward to that. Any way I am only70lbs away from my goal. I haven't been this happy in a long time.

enjoy the

It may last a long time... work it, feel your food, take time to eat your meals and enjoy every bite.

I use to say the only time I felt full was on Thanksgiving. With the band it happens almost every day.
