I have been starving since my operation! I ate real food the day after. Along with liquid stuff, I ate some tuna today and a few crackers. I'm not a sweet guy, so all these hellos and Popsicles and protein shakes and sweet on top of sweet on top of sweet are to much for me! -

That was my biggest fear while getting mine done because 50 people around me were getting the sleeve. The staff kept telling me about the sleeve and I kept telling them I was getting the lapband. However, not sure i would have been upset to get the sleeve. -

I refuse to eat baby food! -
With the ridiculous fees these doctors want, they can ALL kiss my ass! I'm going back to Mexico.

Couple of stupid cliches that come to mind. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Also, don't get hung up on the scale thing. Your weekly average is really what I pay more attention too. And lastly, until you get your first fill, it's really about healing the incisions and band itself. -

I have showered but am just letting the water/soap just wash over. I have old school stitches, so I don't wanna mess with them. I get to take them out in a few days, on my own, by myself. Lol -

I really did laugh out loud at this. That's funny! Oh, and I agree... -
So seriously, is anyone in the Phoenix area doing self pay? This is getting ridiculous. One doctor, Dr, Stevenson, wanted $260 just to be seen and $200 for a fill. The other, at WLIA is a $500 fee and $200+ a fill. Are you kidding me. It would be cheaper to go back to Mexico for Christ sake.

I bought and ate boxes of the Gas-X strips. It did nothing for me. Nothing. :-( -

I absolutely love tuna in the bag. Just plain tuna, in oil of course, straight out of the bag. Cannot wait until I can eat that. I could eat that all day and night. When were you banded again? I need to find a doc in the area to see. One I asked was like $260 for visit and another $200 for a fill. Uh, no! I'll go back to Mexico for that cost! Hmm, come on Phoenix, don't let me down.

I am not having an issue with protein drinks. My problem is hunger. -

If that helps, for the love of god, please post. I still feel like I am being stabbed from the gas.... Sadly, since I was banded in Mexico, I feel like I am on my own. I found a diet program for lapband patients online and I think it will work the best. I am beyond hungry, as you all know from hearing me piss and moan. I am sick and tired of broth and Popsicles. For those who care, this will be the dietary plan I am going to follow http://www.longviewregional.com/weightloss/Documents/LapBandPostOpDietMealPlan.pdf -

I'm a dude. We live to poop, talk about poop...everything poop! I felt no different after really. I had hoped I would. Good luck! Lol. -
3 days post op, just took bandages off. Do I have to cover the incisions back up? I would prefer not to cause I am allergic. My IV site where the tape was looks nasty. Thoughts?
-
My concern is, what to put on them if I cover them. I have read that I shouldn't use neosporin cause it can trap the dirt.....

Thank you. I think I am going to try to keep uncovered but a few stitches keep snagging.
