3 wks post op and can eat anything

Is this normal? I think it's so stupid that I have to wait until Sept 14 to get my first fill. I feel like waiting is setting me back. I was doing so good but since I have no restriction, it's hard to resist!!!! I ate a piece of Papa John's pizza tonight. I only ate one SMALL piece. Normally I would have eaten at least 4 pieces. I've lost 15.5 lbs. I sure hope I dont gain any of it back before Sept 14th. That would be kind of embarrassing. :confused:

8 days post op and finally feeling better

Well, I am finally feeling better today. I'm still a little hungry but it feels different. It doesnt hurt. It's a 'normal' hunger pain. Also, I have more energy, however, I take a medication for my sleep apnea called Nuvigil and this is the first day I have taken it since my surgery. It promotes 'wakefullness'. YEAH, it feels so great to feel better today. :biggrin:   thanks for all the advice everyone!!! I cant wait to be skinny and healthy again. I keep telling my daughters who are 1

Sick of being hungry!!!

I dont understand why I am soooooo hungry and others arent. My stomach churns constantly and it's very uncomfortable. I am very close to eating something I really shouldnt. This is crappy and I have to wait 3 more wks before my first fill. That is crazy!!!!! Surely there is something I can do to make this go away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 days post op

today has been much better. Still very sore. I also feel very bloated and 9 months pregnant. Can anybody tell me when that will go away? I'm already down 7 1/2 lbs but it doesnt feel like it because my stomach is so big.

What have i done!!!

Well, it's been 3 days since my surgery. I am finally feeling better. Yesterday was terrible. I had gas pains so bad. I was so bloated, I felt 9 months pregnant. I am really sore today around my stomach mostly. I am starting to get hungry also. I would love to eat some chinese. . I will be on full liquids for 2 wks. I cant imagine how I am going to just eat full liquids for 2 wks when I am already starving. I just keep thinking, what have I done??? Am I going to be able to do this? I think mos

Omg!!!!

Last week I worked a lot of hrs in 4 days instead of 5 so I would have a 4 day weekend. On Friday I decided to take a nap so I told my daughter not to wake me up. Well, guess who called?? The nurse who is going to schedule my surgery!!! I can't believe I missed her call. And she said she was leaving work and wouldn't be back in until Tuesday. UGH!!! She is the one person I wanted to talk to. I am ready to get going!!! I'm tired of waiting.

Getting Scared!!!

I've been reading and reading about others experiences after lap band surgery and it's kind of scary. I had a c-section 14 yrs ago, not your little bikini cut kind but the kind that goes from your belly button all the way down because my daughter was almost 11 lbs. :tongue2: So, I was thinking this couldnt be too bad, right?? The people I know that's had this surgery have told me they didnt have any trouble at all but I keep reading about all this pain, and nausea and vomiting. My family isnt th

Well crap!!!

I still hadnt heard from the pre-op nurse so I contacted her and she has 18 people in front of me to schedule their surgery and she is already into August. My life has been 'on hold' since Jan. 2010. I mostly stay at home, besides work, because I'm too embarrased to go out and do things. I live in a small town and I know how I react when I see an old classmate and she/he has gained weight!! I'm like, 'man she sure has let herself go'. And then I think, thats what people are saying about me too!

Watch out everybody cause I'm on my way back

I used to be out going and full of energy. For the past few yrs i like to stay at home and hide. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. WORLD........I am on my way back so watch out. :thumbup:
