Hey guys I think I'm doin good really going all in on this lap band Change of life I had my surgery September 7th and now I'm at -62lbs I'm really workin hard on getting to the 100lb mark I've noticed a huge change, clothes, belts..etc but most of all the way I eat!!! This was the best Change of lifestyle I ever made!! Thanks for the support!!!!!!!

Thank you!!!!!!! I think it was just the scare of messing up so early in my process, the fact of the matter I only ate chicken until I felt full and didn't have any rice, did have a few veggies but at the end of the meal, my to go box got most of it!!!! I really appreciate the support on this site I'm a newbie for reals and it's a learning process. Just a lot of the suff I read is scary sometimes.......I'd consider myself a tough guy, but best believe my booth was the closest to the restrooms just in case!!! Lol thanks again guys....

Anyone from Dallas on here???

I still feel guilty for it didn't eat any rice though just a few pieces of chicken rice just came with the meal.....

Today is day 3 of solids, so on my first day of solid food I had eggs, I know this is something that I maybe could have had on soft foods but I'm either scared or nervous of getting too full or throwing up!!! Well today my fam and I were running around and they got hungry I wanted to wait and come home to eat but just as the non lap band needers that they are they want to go out and eat. So they decided on pei Wei and I love me some Asian food so without major hesitation I agreed to take them since they have been hostage to my preop diets and now it's week 4!! So tell me if I messed up please!!! I don't feel I did but let me tell ya what I ordered, got the orange peel chicken and brown rice!! I actually only had about 4 small pieces of chicken off the plate and after chewing for so long I felt full. I also ate a few of the veggies that came with it...... I'm down a total of 42lbs I just want to keep losing and do right!!!!

Right on!!!!! I just got banded on 9/7 and I feel like I lost more wght well at least quicker when I was on my preop diet...I'm up to 42lbs lost and this is my third week of being banded... Sometimes I wanna double check to see if I can even feel the port lolol or if my dr just psyched me out into thinking I was banded lolol

Congrats!!!! Is that pre op and post op combined or just after being banded???! That's great either way keep up the good work and you'll be at the 75 in no time

Today was my day 3 post op and I went back to work!!! These gas pains are sonething else I had to get up and walk around a few times and hiccups forget about it just painful how long before the gas is gone I've been taking gas x strips all day also I don't feel I'm getting enough calories I'm sipping on Protein Shakes all day(1 16oz shake) and hardly any Water sipped on a little bottle of Gatorade and still brought some home with me, but I'm not hungry I dot know what it is????

Good morning, I was just banded Friday the 7 and this morning im getting ready for work, I feel good my pain level is down a bit, just still dealing with gas pains. Please cross your fingers for me!!! Today will definately will be a test!!!!!!

I hear ya, bad chest/shoulder pains due to gas but I was able to go walking today to try and work it out I just got banded Friday and I'm trying to go all out and be as successful as everyone on here!!! Stay positive!! Today was my first day on this site and it's the best!! Keeps you motivated and when you think it's bad there's a group of people here that know exactly what your goin through!!! Good luck and keep your head up!

I was just banded on the 7th and have been sleeping on my belly since day one. The bigges pains I get are from the gas!!! I'm barely two days after surgery and went walking, grocery shopping and cleaned my garage...lol tryin to stay somewhat busy.....good luck on your sleeping!!!

I just got banded the 7th of sept and was not ready for the post op pain! I thought it was like day surgery and recovery would be quick, today is day 2 after surgery and I was able to go walking at the park to try and ease the gas pains, gas x strips and Protein shakes!!! I guess no pain no gain!! I just have to remember in doing this for me!!!!!! I'll get there!!!

I got banded This past Friday and I've been sippin on Protein Shakes and clear liquids tried a little chicken broth but not really hungry at all, so for sumbstanance I've relied on the Protein shakes some Water and some Gatorade. I still have pain in my shoulder and chest I know it tha gas. Does anyone know how long that lasts?
