My surgery was at the end of March and my wedding was in June.. my dr said after 3 weeks was fine as long as i covered the the incision sites with a bandaid so the scars wouldnt get darker...

I was banded 3/27 and I have the Mirena .. had it 3 yrs no period... then 4/24 i got a heavy period that lasted for over 2 weeks.. I was like .. really??? course its the same date as my wedding next month in june.. so I'm hoping it was just a one time thing.. if it happens again this month.. im gonna talk to my Gyn dr. My lapband dr told me that with hormones and drop of weight.. 47 pounds for me.. kinda triggered something.. lol i guess we will see this month... good luck to everyone

I think if I can do this.. and i loooooove my food and breads.. then anyone can do this.. and so can you.. just keep thinking how you will look and feel after you lose the weight.. i dont have any more back or feet pain.. and im happy with that alone right now... just do one day at a time.. itll get better

It does seem every one is dif.. i was banded on March 27 started pre op diet march 17 and could only have 2 protien shakes a day and nothing but clear liquids.. like jello and broth and suger free pops.. decaffinated teas.. that was it.. it was very tough.. but its been so far so good for me now.. now im on thicker liquids like puddings and cream sopups and a lil bit of scrambled eggs.. each day gets a lil better and since i started this im down 47 pounds.. u can do this!!

Def seems like a lil bit of everything.. alot to take in.. if and whenever I decide to take that challenge.. thank you guys.. this site really helps alot

I guess.. it depends on the person from what i have seen..I know scary to try..and Sagetracy.. that woould probably be .. id judt forget.. lol breads were my favorite.. but yet evil friend...lol

Hi.. I am no where wanting to try breads.. I've heard nothing but bad things about people with breads.. but i was wondering if it is all breads or just the soft doughy like.. or is the harder baked breads ok.. some people are eating english muffins that I know with no problems and others can't??

I am on day 12 of post op.. the dr already gave me ok to eat puddings.. creamed soups adn scrambled eggs.. even though its not a full egg.. the potatoes were more of a creamy consitency adn the squash was like a puree.. only a couple bites of each.. i was just curious because ive seen people eating bean burritos 2 weeks after and one who is eating whole grain chips.. i will wait ti:0l my dr says its ok for these.. thank you all for the info and advice.. this site will be a lot of help.

I just had my lapband surgery on March 27, I started with my weight at 316, I am st 281 now. It has been 2 weeks and the doctor has told me it was ok for puddings and creamed soups and of course still clears and protien shakes. Today, I had a few bites of creamy mashed potaotes ( no chunks) lol and a few bites of winter squash which was like a puree consitency. I'm hoping that was ok. Also I still have a bit of tenderness where my port is, especially when I try to sleep on my right side.. used to be a stomach sleeper. How long before the tenderness goes away to be able to sleep comfortably again? I was also wondering since I have not had a fill yet.. but I'm guessing my full signal is like I have a little golf ball stuck in my stomach.. i def don't want to over do and ruin the band.. is that anormal feeling? Other that that I have no real issues and go back to my dr April 25th. My first few days after surgery were tough, didnt want to move and scared to drink or eat anything.. but i'm over it.. Just can't wait to introduce fish or chicken...lol.
