BandedNeakyMinx12

It's around 19lbs - I haven't monitored my food intake or really been watching my food which I think is the main issue. I will have to read my bandster book off healthier ideas. I do walk bit I guess it's my fault I haven't lost weight. Thanks for your post!

I have lost 8kgs included pre op diet and no more. I currently have 6mls and can eat solids but no weightloss. Anyone here the same or it's just me. Thought I'd be 15 kilos lighter by now. ;(

Basically when you feel ready! I was 5 days post-op and had relations with my fiance' . So yea, when you feel your up to it

Thanks for your comments guys. Gives me some insight! I had a salmon sushi roll today, the seaweed is hard to swallow so I peeled it off but I still didn't slow down, I wasnt conscious eating and just wooded it down and it came back up....;( my fault

Thanks for your reply, that sheds some light but I wont know until I try. I don't eat the sushi rolls - more the raw fish on top of sushi and things like that. I'll just eat slow and chew!! Thanks again for your reply!! X

I'm 3 weeks post op and already had my first fill - question I want to go to sushi train and i need to know is sushi hard for some of you to swallow? Does it go down or is it just a non friendly band food?? Because I LOVE sushi!

Anyway ... I was super nervous because I read on here it hurts sometimes but I felt NOTHING the thing that hurt was the doc pressing down on my stomach to find the port. Now on 48 hours liquid and if all goes well I can start eating normally! My issue is I will need to teach myself concious eating and chewing!! I'm so excited to finally start my journey and first day back at gym tomorrow morning! *groan* wish me luck!

I'm three weeks post-op and just got my first fill today, 5cc I believe in a 'large' band so te doctor told me.

Hi Waitingpatiently, thankyou for your encouragement. I think I will go back to liquids (mega sad face because it's Easter and I'm italian lol) but like you said I don't want to damage it before I even get to use it. I'm just so disappointed that I let food overcome my willpower. Also stephyanders I will take your advice and go on liquids I'm Hoping it's only irritation. Tha is again guys :)xx

Hi tana - thanx for your response. Im glad I'm not alone- but it came ip fairly easily but now I've got a pain right in the middle of my breasts. I'm 2 weeks post-op now I'm worried the pain means I've done damage. :(

Hello - I'm on my mushie stage and I got too excited and had chick and hot chips (idiot) and I just ate it too fast and the first time it just came back in my mouth bit I didn't learn and later went for more but this time when it came up I actually dry reached and threw up a little more. I'm so sad and disappointed that I may have done damage.

Hi all - thanks for your replies. I've decided to weigh myself weekly instead of daily (which I should of done in the first place) but now I'm on mushies and I had ricotta cheese and tomato on crackers today for lunch and soft chicken with hot chips - which I stupidly shuffled down my gob without realising and it didn't get stuck but it wasn't going down and i knew not to drink water so I just tried to stick it through but the last mouthful just came back into my mouth. SOO long story short it was a wake up call as to be more conscious of what and how I eat. sorry this is so long xx

Thankyou all so much for your support, I'm glad this is normal!! I'll just need to eat tge right foods! Xx

Wow - trust me I'm hungry all the time too and I have very little will power. I ate solids during my liquid post op diet. I regret but I can't help my self. I get my first fill on the 16th hoping for some feeling of restriction. I hope you survive bandster hell lol xx

Hello - wow that made me feel a little better. Thank you very much. Hope I dont gain the weight when I go to solids. And congrats on the 100pound weight loss. xx

Hello! I'm 2weeks post-op now. Started mushy food which is awesome even though I cheated during liquids (I admit it) but I've lost 5 kilos (which is great) since my pre-op diet. So 5 kilo in 4 weeks, but that's it. Is this this case for others??

Hi all - it definitely is hard but like you said i Just need to think of the bigger picture- well in our case the smaller picture. Lol I want to be healthy and thin soo bad tgat I just need to remind myself "it's just food" by the by is any having trouble sleeping on either side. I need to use a pillow!

Hello! Thankyou for your post! - I understand it's for the healing but no told me about this stage. I'm back on liquids I won't lie to you. I have cheated on small things a few times and I don't feel bad when I do. I'm Italian and it's sooo hard to say no. I'm still loosing weight but can't wait till I get my fill and until i can eat mushie food lol!!

Hello! Goodluck! Wow I never heard any doc suggest that? I'm amazed. But yes sticking to the clear liquids so hard to resist temptation. Hello! Goodluck! Wow I never heard any doc suggest that? I'm amazed. But yes sticking to the clear liquids so hard to resist temptation.

Hello everyone, I had my lap band on the 21st march. I stayed overnight. Ok I was informed about everything after the lap band except no one told me I wouldn't get my first fill until like 4 weeks in!! Anyway only 5 days after my surgery I was starving could eat solids like anything really and it went down fine until I found out I shouldnt be doing that. So now I'm on clear liquids (which is a b***h) but I'm always hungry and I know I can swallow solids!! I'm worried I've jepordized my lap band. :(
