Hi there, I was banded on July 12th, I go in tomorrow to get staples out. I feel like you do, I don't feel restricted. Although I eat small amounts and make sure to get my protein in. I think after we get a fill it will be different. Plus, I don't feel like I'm starving, and I eat very small amounts. I lost 15 lbs. in 10 days!!!!! That has made me so happy! Good luck. Lori

Hi Everyone! I had the lap band on July 12th! I am really excited about losing weight! Can you tell me how to get the little weight chart on my profile? Lori

I am 2 weeks out post op, and I am eating mushy food. I don't seem to have any problems eating. I will eat about 1/2 cup mashed potatoes with gravy and don't feel full. Is this normal? I keep thinking that my band slipped and isn't making my stomach smaller. While I was in the hospital they did an xray when I was in recovery. But when I was in my room that night the nurse came in to help me get up, and while she was raising the head of my bed, it suddenly fell and of course, so did I. Could that make my band slip?
