My surgery was 10:30 am but my dr makes you stay over night. I was pretty sore after surgery and was happy to stay overnight. Sometimes you need help trying to sit up or get out of bed. But not everyone feels that way.

I hear you! I'm just paranoid about band slippage. It's probably fine but when I don't feel restriction my mind wanders. I can't wait until there is Fluid in there. I need the restriction. If I was any good at dieting I never would have been banded.

My surgery was dec 5th and I'm supposed to be on puréed foods but I feel no restriction. I can eat normal food (I just take a lot of extra care chewing). Does anyone else feel like this? I know there's no fluid in the band yet but I figured I'd feel some type of restriction. Idk. I haven't lost any weight in 3 days. Anyone else have similar experience?

Good luck!

I was banded dec 5th and I feel the same way, no restriction. I'm always scared the band might have slipped but I'm pretty sure it's paranoia. I'm loosing weight so I can't complain.

I got banded 7 days ago also! Im just taking it day by day but would love a lap band buddy!

I like those! But my dr said no gummy vitamins idk why. When my sister had lap band 2 years ago by the same dr gummy vitamins were ok.

Did anyone find a chewable vitamin they like the taste of. I'm getting used to the ones I bought but they are still not my favorite. I take the opurity band optimized multivitamin .

Headaches could be from not having caffeine if you intake caffeine usually

I was banded Dec 5th. Yay to all of us for starting diets during holiday season!

Congratulations!!!

Try unjury protein shakes. They can only be ordered online but the chocolate tastes like chocolate milk! :-)

Thank you everyone for your kind words! Meg's good luck with everything. I am still very sore but getting around ok. Totally not hungry at all which is good. I was worried I might be. Laying down is the worst! But the pain is less day after day so I am happy for that.

Thank you all!

So I get banded tomorrow. Lets see how this goes. I'm a little nervous and having a hard time falling asleep but looking forward to a big change.
