Hello everyone, I got operated back in oct 2011. The first 3 months I lost about 30 lbs. I felt encourage, I loved to c the scale going down. Somewhere after that I fell of the wagon n can't seem to get back on. I allready gain back most of the weight I haven't gone back to my doctor at all planning to go maybe end of month if I can come up with the money for the fill this would be my third one. In the last fill I told the doc I didn't feel like I had any restriction n I can mainly eat anything . I'm trying to get back on track but unsure how to . Was thinking to maybe again start with the preop diet n then go from there. Was also hoping to get ideas for what to eat. Thank u all Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Got my first fill yesterday exactly a month postop ! For me it didn't hurt a bit no discomfort way so ever felt just like a lil pinch . I was in an out in less than 5 minutes. Per my doctor I don't see him again until 4 to 6 weeks .all he recommended was to get into the exercise habit since I have been slacking in that department but I can happily report a total weightless of 27 lbs the 1st month and I am more than trilled with that!

oh my god we got banded the same day!!!!!! how has your progress been? ive lost 20 pounds so far, mushy stage seems to keep me going 1or 2 lbs up and down the scale. i feel like i can eat anything if i wanted to. trying to maintain till i get my first fill which is nov 8. I wanna keep lossing weight and right now i feel im hungry hungry hungry. i read in other post that this hunger seems to be normal . what are you eating right now? well get back to me when u have a chance!!!

oh my god the same is happening to me! i got the band on october 7th saw the doctor about a week and half for my first follow up and i had lost 14 pouds form the day i got the band 20 since before the band i was a week in liquid diet. im excited 20 punds in less than a month is great but this past 2 weeks in my mushy stage im hungry im drinking more liquids and i told the doctor that in my first follow up and he said it was normal .but i also see that i can consume more food and im flipping out i dont wanna gain any weight back so im trying my hardest. I was thinking of again go on th eliquid diet for another week see if i can get back on track.
