Hello: I am new to the blog but I have heard it is uber important to have a connection with others who have had lap-band. This first week has been rough and emotional. I was not prepared for the shoulder and back pain after the surgery and was completely caught off guard. This was the first surgery I have ever had in my life and have never been put under. The liquid diet sucks............I am eating the same things and it is such a struggle. I am trying to remember why Im doing this each day and that it is worth it. I am looking forward to the soft food diet where I get to actually chew my foods. I just want to feel 100% again. Some days my stomach is queasy and others i can't tell whether Im hungry or my stomach is upset!! I underestimated the bloating and gas and of course I started my period the day after surgery. Its been a rollercoaster rider for sure.
