I am SO bummed. I have lost 6 pounds from pre-op to now (almost 2 months). I even bought the lapband cook book .. still drinking Protein shakes.. UGH!

What are you guys eating?

HELP!

Whew, thank you ladies! That does ease my mind! I am hiding the scale!

I have not yet had my first fill- I am three weeks post op and have lost three pounds! I have been eating about 200 calories per Protein Shake with 25g of whey protein... soft foods (eggs, cheese, tuna).. UGH!

I am so discouraged! Would love to know how other first monthers are doing!?

Congratulations!

Well - I'm just about at my goal weight! Had my surgery Novembver 16th 2009 and as of today I've lost 102

I am having the same problem! I am 7 days since surgery...I 'feel' it inside me all the time. Even when it's not hurting (which is very rare). It typically has a constant dull ache that often deepens to a sharp pain with getting up and down, walking, or simple repositioning. It feel 'tight' and 'rubbing' in my abdomen and when I breathe it feels like it's almost slightly shifting around..I have to sit VERY straight to get comfortable.

On top of this I have to go back to work tomorrow,,,a bit concerned about this.

Well,,,good luck, let's hope this is just because we are newly banded...

Well, let me know if you figure anything out And I will do the same.. Good luck!

I was banded 5 days ago and it feels like either my band or the port is rubbing. When I sit down, it feels like there is friction against.. lord knows what-- my ribs or diaphragm? It feels like something shifts inside of me. Then when in the seated position, its uncomfortable.

Has anyone else had this issue!

I am so nervous!

I FEEL LIKE MY PORT IS RUBBING TOO!

Ugh- Your nurse says its normal?

Mine doc has been off since Thursday

I'm in the hospital right now, had my surgery yesterday. I'm in a lot of pain...a lot of gas pain like others have said. They didn't do my surgery for the band laproscopic so I think my incision pain is pretty bad. Overall I'm doing alright though. I had my swallow test this morning and I get some liquids later. YAY. Yesterday after surgery was only ice.
