Hey CT Banders!
Sil - congrats on your date - you're going to do SO well!
Heather - I'm just getting to mushies...doing well so far, but it's only been two days
I'm finding that 'more liquid' is better than 'more solid' so far. Had chicken risotto soup yesterday and with the mushy veggies and soft pasta, had no trouble whatsoever.
Allie and Sharona - I hope to duplicate your results! I'd love to be down 45 lbs by my birthday in February, though I'm not going to destroy myself by pushing it too hard. My current goal is to make 230 by Jan 1st.
First post-op appointment this morning, band support group tomorrow night. I'm loving my new banded life so far...making better choices with food, fighting the head hunger a bit (that's the hardest part) and people have already started to notice the weight loss!
Had a NSV (non-scale victory) over the weekend - bent down to tie my gymshoes before walking the DDog, and realized my tummy wasn't in the way any more! It's definately not FLAT yet, but it's going down, and I'm so excited!
