Hi Janice, I walk/run on the treadmill and other days I use the wii. I am thinking of weight lifting a little but I will probably wait until I get my second fill to make sure that I am completely healed by then. I had the surgery but they did it a different way than what everybody else had their done. I have one insicion but it takes longer to heal from what my friend who had the 5little insicions done on her. I was in the hospital for 3 days afterwards and it took me a week and half for me to finally be able to do anything cause I hurt so bad. Yeah working at McD is a really big challenge that I think I am going to quit cause I can't stand working there and looking at all that food knowing it is bad for me. Pluse I want to open my own daycare in the fall. I love having the support of family and friends but I need support from people who have and are going to have the band done. They know what I am going thru and can help me a little more than anyone else.

I would check the hospital and see if they offer a course in what to expect before and after surgery. A nutrionist is a perfect person to help you all the way.

My name is Tammy and I am 35 yrs old. I am happly married with 3 wonderful kids. I got the lapband surgery on Feb. 7, 2011 and have a hard time feeling full. The dr. tell me that it is normal until the 2 or 3rd fill but I am also not losing any weight now. I have always been overweight since I can remember and when I started the weight loss program I weighed 275 at August 19, 2010. I am now down to 202 and feeling great for the most part. I am looking for recipes to try out that may help me and help the family too. I would like a great support group with people who are trying to lose weight also. I am also located on Facebook too. I work at McDonalds right now but hoping to open my own daycare in the summer. I am a military spouse and now stationed in Honolulu HI. We have 2 more years here and hopefully will get back to Colorado or Flordia.

I have the same feeling of not feeling full but they told me it was normal and will get better as I get more fills.

I never feel full, and when I called they told me that it was normal and it will take me awhile to get used to it. I had my surgery on Febraury 7, 2011 and had my first fill on March 22, 2011. Is there any food out there that will give you a full sensation? I chew gum in between meals and drink alot of Water. Where is there a good website for recipes without fish, I am allergic to fish and alot of recipes uses it.
