  1. Hello, i had my lapband surgery on 1/28/12 go for my first fill on 3/13/12. I have lost almost 28 lbs since one week before surgery. I must say I am still hungry. I try not to overeat and have not gotten sick from eating too much or eating without chewing 25 to 30 times lol. i was wondering if when one gets filled the hunger subsides? i realize that self control is still needed even with the lapband. I come here to read everyones experiences and have to say it has helped me alot. Any comments or suggestions are truly welcomed. thank you

    Good afternoon all, Well friday I will finally be done with the 3 weeks worth of liquids my surgeon had me on since surgery. When i last saw him he had said I did not have to go to mushies straight to food but to be chewed extremely well. I am a little nervous since it has been 3 weeks since I have eaten anything. My plan is to start with soft foods and to take my time. It has been very hard with the liquids I feel hungry and at times even queezy stomach feels empty. lol Hope to come back here and tell everyone I am doing just fine.
  3. On tuesday I had my 1st visit to the surgeon since my lapband surgery on 1/28/12 all looked good down 20 lbs still dealing with a little hunger another week of liquids. Im trying to get in lots of fluids though at times its a bit hard. He told me my first fill will be on March 13th nervous and excited at the same time. I am curious to see how I feel and what I am able to eat after I am finished with my liquids. My doctor said I can go to eating fool just to chew it very well. It seems so long ago I had anything of substance. lol. I hope to be able to tolerate alot of the foods I have eaten in the past (just much smaller portions) we shall see. Will keep you all posted. One more thing since banded I look at each day as a special day, a happy day and finally putting myself first. I am a work in progress and I know all of this will be SO WORTH IT . Enjoy your day.

  6. WELL SATURDAY WILL BE THE START OF A NEW BEGINNING IN MY LIFE. FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS I HAVE HAD SUCH AN UPLIFTING FEELING LOTS OF ENERGY (EVEN GETTING TO WORK IF NOT ON TIME SOMETIMES EARLIER LOL) THIS FEELING IS GREAT. I HAVE LOST 10 LBS FOR FAR. I AM A TYPE 2 DIABETIC AND MY NUMBERS HAVE BEEN GREAT THIS MORNING IT WAS 96. IT PROVES THAT WATCHING AND CUTTING OUT CARBS REALLY HAS AN IMPACT ON SUGAR. I DONT MISS THOSE FOODS WHEN I SEE THE RESULTS OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I WATCH DIET. I FOUND A GOOD CLEAR LIQUID THAT WILL MAKE MY POST OP DIET NOT BE SO BAD. ITS CHINESE CHICKEN BROTH ( NO WONTONS OF COURSE) IT TASTES GOOD AND ON COLD DAYS IT JUST WARMS ME UP. LOOKING FORWARD TO STARTING MY ZUMBA VIDEO SOON. !!!!
  7. Hello All, Well the time is almost here. On saturday i will have lapband surgery which I have been anxiously awaiting for 6 months. I must say I am happy that I did have to wait it had given me time to research alot about the changes in my life and diet. I started today on strickly fluids till my surgery and believe it or not I am not as hungry as I thought I would be. I guess that is because I am getting excited that it is finally approaching. To everyone on here have a wonderful day and God Bless!!!
