And feeling great! Taking it slow, protiens first and they do keep me full so really no desire to move on to any other foods yet. I even went to a friends BBQ last night and had no problems eating my one 4oz chicken breast and half of a hard boiled egg :-) I cut up the chicken breast into small peices and put down my plate with each bite in between conversating.
 
One thing I do notice is in the morning my port side stiches are pretty sore in that area. But hey, I am only 16 days out, so hey it's to be expected right, lol. 

Anywhoo, life continues to be great, YAY!

Oh and would someone mind pointing me in the right direction to put the weight loss ticker on my posts? I think it'll be neat to use that :-) 

Have a wonderful day all!!

Congrats! It sounds like you are right on target. My surgeon wouldn't let me have chicken until after 6 weeks so count yourself lucky! I was starved!

Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much! Chicken, fish and deli shaved meat are the only meats I am allowed to have at this point and I am totally fine with that. I really concentrate on chewing any meat up super well because I have read others posts about getting stuck and boy am I afraid of that!!

Thanks again for the post!

I too was six week out before I could have them.  If the band is unfilled and there isn't any swelling, I wouldn't see why not (now).  But, I followed my diet excatly

I got my ticker from the ticker factory.  If you click on it you will get to the site.  Than set yours up.  I haven't figured the OH one yet. 

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.
