Whew! I thought I was the only one who was starving! I am about 3 1/2 wks post-op and Im starving!! I do minimum of 2 protein shakes a day, protein water, greek yogurt, broth and of course water, water, water. Wasnt scheduled for my first fill until 9/26, but dont think I can make it that long so they made it for next week. After reading the other responses regarding 'banded hell', I think Im there! And Im scared if I dont get a fill soon Im going to blow this (already lost 17lbs). This is tougher than I thought it was gonna be..but Im in it for the long haul! My health matters to me, and I wanna at least see my grandchildren get married

Day 3 after my Sils Lapband surgery and things are getting better! however still have lots of gas and now I have started bowel movements which aren't the greatest ! I can move a little better and my incision is healing well just a little bruising by where my port is on the right side.. Hoping it all improves!! because my first day home I was deff regretting this decision that I had made but little by little it's all working well

That is great! I am sorta in the same situation. I was banded on July 9th and 7 weeks later, August 24th, I went to the surgeon for my first fill and he wouldn't do it. I had lost 28 pounds since surgery. So it was more like a bitter sweet. I was sad because I was looking forward to a fill, but then I was glad that I had lost too much weight since surgery. My next appointment is at the end of September and if I lost more than 10 pound then no fill but less than 10 pounds I can get a fill. So far I am down 6 pounds since my last visit. Looks like no fill for me at the end of the month.
