I went for my first ever walk in public on my own! I'm so happy! See the reason I never walk anywhere is because when I was around 7 I had a bad experience... I was playing outside on my own on the street at the side of my house and well I was nearly abducted by a man in a van who flashed himself to me :/ after that I wouldn't go outside on my own ever. But then when I was around 15 I went to town with a friend but she lived in a different area than me so we walked our separate ways and don't you know... A man walked past me... Grabbed my chest... Then he turned around and followed me home. :| I just have very bad experiences walking alone in public but I done it! I've tried again and I went for a 20 min walk. Very proud of myself (sorry if my story/experience had offended or upset anyone) you just need to be careful I guess. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Anyone heard of or tried 'Bio skinny shake'? It's a Protein shake for people who want to loose weight. I'm 2 weeks post op and my nurse/nutritionist never mentioned Protein shakes so I was going to try this one? I don't want to take protein shakes because they contain a lot of calories and I thought they were for people trying to build a load of muscle? But this one sounded good.

There was a male doctor sitting beside my bed when I woke up and I tried to ask him 'who are you' but I couldn't speak :/ I couldn't get the words out I just kept stuttering 'huh huh huh huh huh' instead of 'who' and then another male doctor came over and grabbed my hand and said 'shh ur ok don't worry' and then I think I fell asleep again, everything was SO blury. But then when I properly woke up I asked 'is it in?' Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I'm 9 days post op, I've lost 24lbs (including my pre op 2 week diet) and feeling great. I'm a bit concerned about the glue on my incisions starting to peel off? Is it too soon? I've noticed after I shower a little bit comes off around the edges each time and I want to shower today but worried about all of the glue coming off... When did your glue start to flake off?

Everyone is different, I'm one week post op today too and all I eat during the day is 1-2 little pots of yogurt and a cup of home made Soup but I drink loadsss of liquids during the day too like 2 cups of peppermint tea, 2 cups of milk, 3 cups of Water and 1 cup of low cal hot coco but 2 days ago I just was NOT hungry and had to force myself to eat yogurt but today I could eat yogurt and soup. I'm up and about too, went to town yesterday to buy my mum a birthday present not saying I have no pain but it's manageable Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Yea the wind pain is just like pain in your chest like you can't burp, it really hurt for me but gripe Water helped get the wind up and the plication is so important, it really prevents the band from slipping and honestly should be done with everyone who gets the band. I asked my surgeon did he do it and he looked shocked and said 'of course, if I didn't then your band would easily slip off' so definetly ask your surgeon about it Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I'm five days post op and the gas is so bad today, for some reason I just can't get it up! I've tried everything! But then I tried gripe Water, it's really for babies with bad wind but it REALLY helps get the wind up I really recommend it Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Omg I loveeee pizza too I'm five days post op too and yesterday my family made pizza and the smell and the look of the golden cheese was torture I hope I can eat a tiny bit sometime and a bit of pasta as I love pasta too! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

My surgeon said the band will last for life, he said as long as I follow the rules and don't abuse it and it doesn't slip or erode then there is no reason to get it removed. But I hear other people say it only lasts 10-15-20 years? I'm a bit worried now, how will I afford surgery to get it removed! I'm still paying off the loan for gettin the band what do you guys reckon? Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Wow well done! That's amazing! You must feel great I hope I loose that much! I'm only 5 days post op but have lost 16lbs since the start of my 2 week pre op diet congrats!! X Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Thanks guys, yea I know it will get better I guess, just doesn't feel like it right now stuck indoors with nothing to do and I don't want to go out because I havnt showered properly since 4 days ago!! Washed my hair once since then but really hurt to bend over the sink so I'm just going to wait. Just one of those depressing days I guess Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

So I'm 4 days post op, feel horrible I'm in so much pain, I'm so hungry, everyone is eating pizza in front of me, I can't sleep the anti-blood clott injections really hurt so much I can't do them anymore I just want to crawl into a cave and never come out so unhappy and sore, feel like things will never get better. Sorry for sounding so moany, but nobody can relate or understand (my family). Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I'm 2 days post op too and I'm super sore, I feel really bloated and swollen and my incisions really hurt, I need help to get in and out of bed! All my muscles hurt and it's difficult to just lay on my back in bed, I have the urge to roll around but can't wind pain sucks too but peppermint tea does help and walking around is the best! I hope I feel better soon though, because i feel so awful right now Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
