I went to my Dr, appt. he wanted to do my surgery July 1 but I put it off until the 8th I start my liquid diet on the June 26. I'm so happy 13 days is going to go by fast. Any advise would be appreciated thank-you!

Congrats! wow 1lb away from your goal before surgery.!!

Hi I'm 6 weeks post op I was eating bake fish and broccoli with avocado. At first eating with no problem all of a sudden stomach and chest pain I thought I was going to lose my mind, mouth watering running to the bathroom. I did feel a little better I'm still burping food is going up and down like a yo-yo I think I'm stuck no more broccoli!! I'm so upset with myself I can't sip on anything because I'm back in the bathroom. What do I do?

Thanks for your replies, feeling better I will chew chew chew!!!! I will wait 1 min before my next very small bite. I learned my lesson the hard way I never want to go through that again!!!

I went to my Doctor today he told me he gave me 2 cc when I got the band (surgery) that explain a lot how I was feeling. Today he put 1 in half cc he told I have 3 in a half cc. I'm really uncomfortable is this normal after a fill? I'm going to start shakes for a few days then start back with solids. Thank you for your replies.

Hi everyone, I get my first fill Aug. 6, on the 8th it will be one month since I had my Band. I was wondering if anyone ever had a 4cc or more put in the first time you received your first fill. Thank You for you reply

I ate a half of Popsicle and few sips of diet tea for Breakfast ...I feel so full I can't eat or drink anything else. I'm surprise to have restriction without a fill. I'm going to wait for 3 or 4 hours then I will have my Protein shake.... I will mix 4 oz only not sure how much I will be able to take in. Have anyone else had this problem before? Thank you

Today my brother had his party at my house. I was on my feet to long making plates and cutting up the watermelon. I put a a big piece in my mouth my daughter said mom! I remembered I got the lap band. I spit that in the trash. How in the world I forgot, I have to be careful. I'm having more pain now then the first day. I'm 5 days post op I would like to thank everyone for your advice you showed me so much support since day 1 this is the best forum:-)

Try not to cheat anymore because your surgery is in a few day's.You should be ok as long you didn't gain weight. I cheated the first 4 days with crackers and ice cream. I was scared that my liver would be to big but it wasn't. I wish you the best drink plenty water that really helped me.

Hi I was banded on the July 8 I'm feeling pretty good. I know I can't go to the gym I was wondering can I walk 2 or 3 times a day for 30 min I'm use to working out since I started my weight loss journey. Have any one started walking or working out less than 1 week post op?

Best wishes, I know what you're going through.. it will be over after while. Good you're getting a recliner that really helped me. Post when you can let us know how you're doing.

Hi everyone, I'm home really soar not to much gas pain I finally took something for pain. I did really good my doctor send me home. I been walking and sleeping a lot trying to drink my fluids. I am happy it's over!!!!! I will post again under post up HAPPY WEIGHT LOSS!!!!

I was told the first few days I will have low energy because of low carbs. I take B -12 and supplement, that really help me. Please don't cheat I regret eating a few cracker two days in a roll. Make sure you're getting enough water that will help

Hi everyone, I have to be at the hospital at 5:00 am tomorrow morning, my surgery should start around 7:00 am it should take no more than an hour.I'm surprise I'm not nervous, just excited. My 13 day liquid diet was not easy. I had a couple of off days early on. I got back on track and I loss 21 lbs. I could have loss more if I didn't have OFF days. I hope my liver shrunk. Best Wishes to everyone July is a new beginning for us HAPPY WEIGHT LOSS!!!!!!!

Good luck to you too fhawkins12 ........there is some one having there Lap Band tomorrow I hope everything go as planned.

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is doing good on there pre op diet. I went to the store to get more soup, jello etc. My doctor want me to be on liquids one week after the band. I'm going to try and do it until August 3. I guess tomorrow I will pack my overnight bag for the hospital. I'm so happy Tuesday is almost here.

I'm going to the gym 6 days out of a week. 500 to 800 calories a day and no more than 30 carbs. Hopefully I can lose 10 lbs a month. I was told you lose the most the first year and it will take two to three years to reach my goal.

I had a good work out at the gym today..... I'm going to start getting my bag ready for the hospital. Is there any one else have to stay one night in the hospital beside me?

My three children and two friends know and my sister nobody else not even my five bother etc. I don't want no one to say the reason why I lost weight was because of the band not looking at all the hard work I'm doing...... also saying I took the easy way out. If any one ask I am on a low cab diet which I will do until I reach my goal.

catlover602 best wishes on you surgery in the morning, when you can let us know how you're doing

I was so busy making everyone's plates they didn't notice I wasn't eating. I am so tired of protein shakes too. Two banana shakes a day is enough for me. I take in other stuff such as broth soup and sugar-free jello. I wish I can eliminate the shakes all together.

I started my liquid diet today feeling really good about it. I can't believe July 8 is the day my life will change for the better. I do planned to go to the gym at least twice a day since the gym is next door to me( smile) I broke my weight loss down in stages Pre stage Liquid diet June 26- July 8 lose 20lbs 1 stage- Aug. 6 - Feb 6 lose 130 lbs 2 stage Feb 7 - Feb 7 a year later lose 100 lbs 3 stage to get to my goal weight 175 lbs how ever long it takes
