I had my first fill last week and I am not feeling anything it seems like I am eating more I go next week to get another fill hopefully that works I eat 5 small meals a day and for snacks I eat Popsicles, yogart, pudding and jello-mostly sugar free or low fat it seems like I am going backwards although I am losing weight

I went to get my first fill last wed and I still do not have the restrictions yet I go next week for my second fill but I am still working on eating slower, & at least a minute in between & counting calories better I eat 5 small meals when should I go to 3 meals and be in the green zone

Oh its just one of those minute counters when a minute up you flip it...it came with my lap band welcome kit

Well my pain didn't come until 3 days later I was okay right after I would suggest taking some gas-x and pain pills and heating pad...good luck and congrats to u

Name: Gladys Goal Weight for May 31st: 235 Weigh in on May 1st: 249 Age: 35 Date Banded: 4/10/2013 Total weight loss since pre-op diet: 24 lbs Down 9 lbs so far since May 1st

With the sholder pain try walking around and i use gas-x as well as a heating pad for my back and I pack for my stomach..hope u feel better

2nd week soft food diet total of 20 lbs lost but since being on soft food diet gained 3 back & 9 days smoke free as well

My band date was Wed of last week so its been 6 days for me cold turkey and my boyfriend smokes so the temptation is there I just gotta remember I am healing and that could cause damage be strong u can do it....for me no smoking, no food so no gaining weight, no gum not in my post-opt diet....lol...good luck

I too work a desk job also and I took off F, Sat of last week and M, T of this week giving me a total of 7 days off I ran those 4 days into my off days...I did that to make sure my body can handle sitting all day any pain due to the recovery and also my co-workers joy is to talk about food and bring it to their desk and I have to mentally be prepared for that

Good luck to you I stop smoking at midnight the night of my surgery and it is hard you know how people normally eat to help with the sensation well we cannot do that you are basically stopping cold turkey and this is hard I already had the blu and I am finding myself using this only about 3 times a day remember MIND OVER MATTER good luck to you

Thanks everyone I was just so tired of creamy soup so we purfeed vet soup so that its liquid we have to use this blender and get creative these last few days one day at a time the day prior to the surgery I quit smoking cig as well so its a two in one battle to stop smoking cold turkey is hard but mind over matter.....one day at a time....no food, no smoking

Thanks that help me too I was banded last week and I am so tired of the liquid diet
