@ Sombra wow soft foods already, thats quick....but I think maybe we are eating cause we need that taste...but I think my doc left my band unfilled?? so when I go to my first fill then I think thats when it gets a lil tough and foods will be harder to digest if I eat the wrong foods....so I think thats why I can eat

I LOVE FOOD.....I had my LB put in 6/13/12 and I have had soft foods already and seem to be doing well with not feeling like barfing that I read about. I worry about me eating already...I just feel that my body can handle it right now in moderation ..they say your doc should tell you to move to soft food stage, but I did it on my own...and still take my protein shakes....but its all in moderation ..

Also I make myself protein shakes and I freeze them...I did that during my two week liquid diet and after...and I love them....I did follow the full liquid diet I had chicken breast and salads, cabbage and chicken....and pizza for my daughters birthday 9th of june...but now forsure I will stick to the rules....I'm afraid to vomit

Hi, I had my lb put in 6/13/2012, I went in and came home the same day, I also had Hiatel hernia that was fixed...over all I feel better as the days go by....first day I was a bit scared to drink, but I did good taking it easy and drinking slowly...2nd day I was told to use cabbage leaves around my body, not on the incisions but around it and a body wrap belt to hold up my tummy and take it easy...well I haven't had major issues with gas pains at all...I just notice I had like a pain that felt like fire to the skin near my navel area, but I took my liquid pain meds and it subsided I tried not to take too much meds afterwards...but I feel better day after day. google cabbage remedies and you will find out what its about...it really works for the pain, bloating...just change the leaves when they get soggy.

Gurgling and burping makes me laugh to myself, I remember an episode of Wife swap where a lady would teach little girls manners and had those girls to learn to burp "inside themselves" lol ...it was a funny show....anyway I guess I have this to look forward to the rest of my life....I had LBS 6/13/12 and it still hurts me inside my core as someone said "core" it feels raw...but the burping sure does feel good....I'll take the burp over vomiting anyday

I just had lap band surgery this past tuesday 6/13 and overall feel okay, I had some ladies tell me about cabbage leaves helps with inflammatory issues and I found it to be true....I placed cabbage leaves( google cabbage remedies) on my back and around my incisions and I haven't had any bad issues with gas....I know it sounds weird, but me having gone through tying my tubes, I did not look forward to gas pains like I did...so, so far everything is looking good, I also bought Mylacon drops for the gas....my husband works out of town, so its me and my girls, so I haven't acted like a baby...the help is great, but you will do fine.....it will take a whole month for your body to readjust...I suggest to be loyal to the liquid diet afterwards...I feel like i have a piece of bread stuck in my chest, so I would hate to feel that pain intensify while they vomit...so don't cheat that part ...

Hello, I had my lap band surgery on 6/13 tuesday....feeling this fire like sensation near my navel area.....burns like a lighter is at my skin.....anyone feeling that before ....is it "normal"
