It's been 5 weeks now since getting my band.  My new best friend.  I LOVE this band.  I am down 32.4 lbs and feel so much better already.  Clothes are fitting looser and my whole outlook on weight loss is better than it's ever been.  Got my first fill Monday, 4 days ago.  3.75 cc's.  I feel some restriction, and am able to eat what is allowed on my plan.  I haven't risked eating things that arent' allowed, don't want to push my luck and wind up kneeling over the porcelain.  Making healthier choices which is now easy for some reason.  I think mentally, I know it's best for the band and for me.  I figure if I'm good to my band, my band will be good to me. 

one more week on fluids....YAY!!   Cant wait to finally get a soft/mushy something or other in a week.  The journey so far hasn't been all that bad,  as long as my mind is made up to follow the rules.  Getting easier and easier each day to get all my fluids down.  Having a bit more hunger to kick in too.  Usually is remedied with adequate water intake, so I'm having to focus on getting 64 oz. per day.  Down 21.5 lbs according to my bathroom scales.  Cant wait to see what the Doc's scales show.  ONe more week....I feel like I made it through the rough patch. 

any suggestions for meeitng fluid goals?  Also, sore throat feels raw.  anyone else out there haveing the same trouble? 

Band Surgery is finally happening this week.  Nervous, excited and a bunch more emotions running through my head.  Spent time today shopping online and locally for different liquied and proteins to try the first 3 weeks.  Any suggestions out there of some favs during this time?
