Hello everyone!!!! I just had my lap band surgery on 10/3 last Wednesday and I am here at the doctors office for a Post-Op class and as much as I didn't want to get on the scale they made me I just felt like it was too soon!!! So the results were in 5 days I have lost 12 pounds!!!!!!!! I am beyond excitedddd!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!

How are you doing with your first week? We were banded the same day.

I was also banded on the 3rd and I get the same pain....how's everything else going otherwise...what are you eating? Or drinking? Lol I'm so boreddddd..!!!

My nutritionist recommended I get Isopure...I was thinking of going to GNC today to pick it up...I didn't know if you don't like it you can actually return it? That's pretty cool...what are you guys mixing your protein powder with??

I'm also going crazy with my chicken broth!!! I waned to do the same with ramen noodles but the sodium as they said is way too high so right now I am drinking Swanson 50% less sodium and I'm so tired of it...it's starting to smell nasty and just gross to me...are there any other options out there for me? btw I was banded 10/3

Hi everyone I am 3 days post op and I'm doing fine but I keep developing bad taste in my mouth...is it okay for me to suck on a sugar free piece of candy to get rid of the taste in my mouth?

Congratulations.....Keep it up you're doing great!!!

Progress** oops.

Hello everyone!!! I was banded yesterday 10/3...I went to the surgery center at 7am was out by 12pm... I've been okay so far....I thought it was going to be much worse...I have some soreness in my stomach and shoulder areas. What's actually bothering me the most is my throat....!!! I will continue to update everyone on my profess

Anyone getting banded this week??? I'm getting mine tomorrow and I'm nervous as heckkk!!! Lets talk...what did you guys buy when you went to the store to prepare for your first week?? What are you feeling right now??

Tomorrow is my big day!!!!! I will be getting banded at 7:30AM... I'm so excited!!!! Today I am doing some cleaning around the house so I can relax during the first week of my new life!!!! I will be sure to keep everyone up to date!!!!

it's only a week away for us..let's be sure to keep each other posted on everything since we have the same date. I'm doing well on my pre-op diet as well...I haven't really had the time to do actual workouts..all i've done is speed walk for 45 mins each night...what are you doing for workouts?

Just received my phone call from the Laparoscopic office....I've been approved by my insurance company, all my test are in and I'm medically cleared....the date and time are set...October 3rd 7 A.M woohoooo!!!

GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!!!!! Keep US updated on everything!!!!!!!

Thanks for all of the replies...I think I'm going to go with the original plan and come home same day...I don't like hospitals so I know I will not be comfortable staying overnight. I want to be as comfortable as possible post-op. I bought a nice comfy back pillow so that I will be able to sit up in bed comfortably and I plan to just walk around at home every hour or so...I am worried about the gas pains, but I know that everyones body reacts differently, so I will just wait it out and see how my body reacts to everything...ahh I'm so nervous..!!!

Thanks for the tips!!! How long ago did you get it?

Thanks for replying!!! I don't have any drops for gas relief...where can I get them???

Hello everyone!!! I have exactly a week left until my surgery I have all types of emotions going through my mind right now...ahh Oct. 3rd is almost here!!!! I have a question....do you think it's necessary to stay over night in the hospital? I originally opted out of staying overnight but after talking to my sister last night she has me going crazy as if I made the wrong decision....what do you guys think? Is the hospital stay necessary??

What are you doing now for your two week diet?? I'm filled with so many emotions...nervous, excited, anxious ahh!!

Hello everyone! I'm getting banded on October 3rd and I'm going out today to shop for my first two weeks! My nutritionist recommended I buy isopure for protein...has anyone bought this ? I just want some feedback before i go out and buy it as it is quite pricey!!!

Congrats Carrie, I wish you much success! I will be joining the banded family on October 3rd!

Hello everyone! I am 23 and I will be banded on October 3rd, I'm really nervous but I know this will benefit me in the future. However I need some help......can someone who's been banded please give me like a rundown of how week 1 operates what you ate (or drank rather)...I'm starting to get confused and I just really would appreciate some feedback!!! Thanks!!!
