do what you know your suppose to do and you will be fine. Don't worry about what others think. They have to pick on you when they should be picking on themselves. Stay strong you'll do great.

I agree you're supposed to be able to use the lap band as a tool but you're supposed to be able to maintain a correct diet. Dietitian gave me a strict diet to stick to. And those pasta and ice cream are not on that list. Like Jr guru said you must do protein and then your veggies and then your extra if you're still hungry.

July 10th was my surgery good luck on yours tomorrow. It will go great remember gas x strips they helped with the pressure and walk walk walk water water water

7 days after staples were removed they released me

Chances are you will swallow more air there for your more gassy

First day back to work exhausted ready for bed. But i can't gotta feed to kids and hubby then time for bed. Down 12 lbs in 8 days so excited. I hope i keep up this rate lol.

Congratulations you'll do great. will talk to you when you're on the other side it's not as bad as some of things you read on here it was actually quite easy remember your gas x strips their life savers lots of walking in remember just sip your water do not goulp

Great job sounds like you're off to a great start keep on keepin on

good luck I hope you do well everything will be fine don't forget to get you some gas strips you will need them in and a lot of walking the next couple

did you try the gas x strips they were very well and a lot of walking of course

Good luck with your journey I hope you have a good one i am a week post op and I had 5 incisions I just had my staples removed today. I am down 10 pounds.

Got staples removed today down 10 pounds from surgery and it's only been 6 days everything looks good go back in 6 weeks I just need a follow my dietitians diet

Good luck on your banding I am a week post op and doing great. go tomorrow to get staples out then find out witch cut is my port. I have an idea 3 out of 5 I don't feel so I am betting one of the sensitive ones is my port since its attached to the mucle.

I get that way sometimes so I take gas x strip and I am fine. Notice it more when I take on to much to fast

Know how you feel. But its a relief once the surgrey is over. It seemed like forever the day of surgery for it to happen and then before you know it its over. Good luck remember gas x strips they are a life saver and have your jello and broth.

2nd day post op and almost all the soreness has gone away yayayay. I am able to move around alot better and staying good with my jello and broth and water. remember to walk walk walk.
