Simply well said and beautiful!

Hi!! Sometimes I do have to drink coffee so my band can loosen, but other times I try to drink it in the morning and I feel pressure. Does this happen to you too?

Hey!! How is the progress going?

Hi Armygirl, I had my procedure done on 11/10/2011. I started week 4 today and went in to get an incision looked at. Since I was already there, the surgeon said that I could go ahead and have my band filled. I was at 1.6cc before and am now at 3.6cc. I feel somewhat nauseous and had a mild headache throughout the day. I can drink liquids and am not hungry. I did have a cup of soup earlier and felt better. It was a broccoli cheese soup and I only ate the liquid. I was worried before I went in today because I was eating more than I thought a person with a lap band should be, but then I remembered that my band had not been filled for the first time yet. I now it is easy to get discouraged and be hard on yourself, believe me I felt like crap because I thought I stretched my band or just ate too much. Remember, that you are barely one month post-op and your first fill is approaching so stay positive, you lose 10 pounds already. That is great! As far as what you feel after your first fill, all I can say is you might feel some pressure, like if you have already ate something. Similar to the feeling right after surgery but not as discomforting. I had nausea throughout the day but once I had some soup, it went down some. They have me on thick liquids today and tomorrow, soft foods on Saturday and solids on Sunday. I will let you guys know what I am feeling and how different everything is with your first band fill. Good Luck and keep in mind that even though the lap band will help you on what you eat, you also have to face mentally what you choose to eat (I am dealing with this now...) I know you will do great! - Kat
