bindi2203 · January 14, 2009

i was done in August 19. 2008 i weighed 156lbs, lost 9lbs with pre op diet and am now down to 116lbs have 22lbs to goal. I have lost now 44lbs. i am 4ft 7 and am quite surprised how quickly the weight has come off. i did hit a plateau around week 13 and it has lasted for about 6 weeks, i am on the down ward turn again now. good luck every one.

I had my surgery on Jan 2 also. I was not given any real direction regarding my diet for the first few weeks. I have lost 15 lbs. I am surprised at how much and what I can eat. I just found out that I should have been on liquids only. I am going to finish this next week with liquids only. Are you still on liquids? How is that?

I was on liquids for 21 days. 1-7 was Clear Liquids only. Got to add drinkable yogurt(saved me) on day 4. Then day 7-21 we get creamy Soups - no chunks. I started solids this monday. I cant eat much though - about 1/2 - 3/4 cup at a time and stay full for about 3-4 hours.

I get my first fill on Feb 7th. I decided to go back to Mexico (OCC) to have my fill, because I had fun, met some great people and feel 100% confident in the clinic - so Im making it a little vacation. Will go to the zoo etc in San Diego.< /p>

The glue came off my incisions all the way as of yesturday.

I have been at a bit of a plateau since I started my solids. Im at 162. I try to get in at least 1000 calories - but its pretty hard, because I am never hungry. Getting my Water in has been work too. I hate Water and since I cant drink for an hour after I eat, plus if I cant drink for about 1.5 hours before bed or Im up all night (always been this way)

:yikes: Just thought Id let u guys know how things were going. Sounds like u other ladies are doing great too!
