Keep up the good 10 pounds in 3 weeks is great!!!

Good Luck!!

Congrats on getting started. And welcome to the forum:)

Sorry to hear you are having trouble. I am kinda having the same problem. The first 2 days I was really tight then I was good for a week so I thought I was good. But the last 3 days I can't eat oatmeal. I would have to think that this means I am to tight but I look forward to reading so responses from others. I hope you start feeling better without have some taken out!

I am glad your daughter is ok hospital stays are scary as hell!

Well one year ago today I was getting my band put in. I am so happy I did it. I have learned a lot in the past year about my eating habits and am still learning!!! I finally hit that 'sweet spot' that I have read so much about 10 days ago with my last fill. I have started to loss again I am looking forward to seeing what this next year will bring!

Great job and good luck!! You look awesome:)

Sorry if you thought my coment was a lecture because that was not what it was intended to be. I was given my 3 options by the OCC and I(they) picked one and followed it as was suggested. They reason they gave it to me and everyone else is because there is a good chance if you are having this done it is because of over eating and they are wanting to help you. And this is all I was wanting to do by suggesting you follow a diet that has worked for so many.

I think if they tell you to do lean cuisine and shakes that is what you should be doing. This will be a total life style change and starting out switching up the meals during the first week will only make it hard for you in the long run. I found that the pre-op diet started to train me to make better choices and eat less. Just think how hard it is going to be going from your normal diet to broth. Good luck!!
