Thanks Dr NaNa. But if you would read, I did not encourage her to continue anything. Lap banders eat their young huh. LOL -

Oh....You feel obstruction because you are swollen and healing from surgery!!!! You will lean that just because things go down doesn't mean you should eat it!! Please be careful! The risks others have mentioned are so very real... -

Sylvie I too was allowed to eat immediately post op. I was on liquids for 1 day. I was allowed mushies the next day and instructed to advance as tolerated. Thought you would like to know that! I had no appetite for at least a week. I couldn't even eat a whole yogurt. My surgery was June 26. I've lost 21 pounds since surgery. 40 pounds total. I'm very happy and I have not hurt my band. Still I want to say BE CAREFUL!! You're still healing. If you're not happy with your doc, start looking for a new one. You may want to see a nutritionist. The lap band journey is majority YOU. A small percentage is done by the band. Good luck and welcome to band land. -

That's true. Every doc is different. I was allowed mushies the day after surgery. Always follow YOUR doc's orders!!!

I, like many of us, am in bandster hell. And that's ok. It's part of the process and I'm happy to be a bandster. I've lost only 2 pounds in the past 3 weeks BUT...I went through my closet and was able to purge about 6 dresses, 2 pair of pants and a shirt. Felt amazing. Some things totally swallowed me! Also, I am wearing a dress today that a few weeks was a little tight and required a girdle. Today I had to adjust the straps and left that tight girdle at home!! I love listening to my body versus the scale. Maybe bandster hell isn't so bad! Press on friends. It's totally worth the fight!!! Have a blessed day!! ❤

6 months is great!!!

Thanks ladies. I'm not stressed about as I'm only 6 weeks out. I was just wondering. My scale isn't moving much but my favorite capris are too big! My body is changing and that feels great. I do not regret the decision I made and I feel so much better already !!!!

I got my first fill 2 weeks ago. 3cc's. I've heard, including from my Dr, that after a couple of weeks, I could possibly be eating more to be satisfied and feeling hungrier earlier (not in the green zone). At 2 weeks after that fill, I'm very happy with my fill and my "restriction" (I know the difference...just using the word for conversation). My question is, how long before you started noticing you need more of a fill? People have told me that I'm going to need NUMEROUS fills but I'm smart enough to know every one is different. Just want to know how it was for YOU.....YES. YOU!!!!!
