thanks blondee... this is great news! there are so many different opinions about what works best and who has the healthiest patients with the best outcomes. sounds like you're in terrific hands here.

so, what what was the first thing you went for now that you're off liquids? and i agree. that fast-full feeling is nice.

Mashed potatoes were the first thing I went for. And they were GOOOOOOD!

Hi all! Quick update! I'm doing great! I've lost 35 pounds. I go in for my 2nd fill on Dec. 5. I can only eat about 1/2 or 1/3 what I used to eat, but that is still more then I want to right now. So, this next fill will make it a little tighter. I'm losing at the pace I wanted to and that makes me very happy! Many people think weight loss surgery is unhealthy, but how can 1-2.5 lbs a week be unhealthy? I love my band and I'm very thankful for it!

that sounds like just about the perfect weight loss rate!!! it's great that you're doing so wonderfully.
