Wow!! I was on a liquid diet for 2 weeks and then a mushy diet for 2 weeks! My filkl was 1 month after surgery! Maybe your is different, but I did not have restriction until my 4th fill and could virtually eat anything but no way as much as before!! Good luck things like this has happened to me and a whole bunch of other people!- In Mourning
MMM Food!! Ribeye Steak, Baked Tater.- Do You Have A Favorite Brand Of Protein Shakes?
For on the go in need of a quick fix I like the 12 oz can of Pure Protein that has 27g of Protein (chocolate) Also EAS Strawberry 16 oz with 45g of protein is good! There are others that I like, Unjury unflavored (can Mix with pretty much anything) and Unjury Chickensoup flavor I mostly mix with veggies, cottage cheese or in a lite broth but you have to remember to not have hot, hot water just warm because the powder will clump up.- Flying Rrght After A Fill?
I have even done SCUBA diving a few days after a fill!! There was no problem!- Hubby Can Only Take 1 Day Off Work!
I agree!! I am no longer married and the Hosp said they would not let me go home without a ride!! So I had to call a friend to pick me up although my pickup was at the Hosp! He came later the next day so I could get my pickup! I really didn't need anybody at home as I was drinking liquid pain killers that first day at home and was sleeping most of the time anyway!!- Protein Shakes Enough For A Breakfast Meal?

Several things made up my mind. I must say it was a 2 yr process along with being a couple epeaproved 2 times with no problem. One of the things was making love with my wife it had become cumbersome and few and far in between. second was simply walking and the muscular problem associated with being FAT. And among other things I had a couple times passed out from lack of air from tyeing my shoes!! Best decision I ever made was to do LapBand!- Bad Day!!

Stuck? Yes I have even PBed with Water!! I think is worse than food!- Lap Band Hell & Under The Microscope!!
Yes you are correct for the most part but post op through your first fill it is normal to not have any restriction whatsoever My lap band hell I guess would have been up to the fifth fill except I was losing weight pretty much easy between my 3 and 4th fills Was what I call Lapband hell as I actually gained 7 lbs seemingly for no good reason!- Peanut Butter Power Balls
Good energy stuff. Good thing I don't like peanutbutter LOL- Lap Band Hell & Under The Microscope!!
Really you are not in Lap Band Hell as of now that will come later on with the more fills you get. Your workmates now think they need to Police you on your habits, I run into that once in a while especially when the have work Pizza parties or something like that!! I normally have a slice or 2 of Pizza topping and somebody will say "Are you supposed to eat that", It really irks me but then I think so what!!
