HI! My family wants to order Chinese for dinner tomorrow. I'm 3 weeks banded and am doing greaaaattttt!!! What can I eat? I'm nervous so I'm scared to eat real, real food yet so I will probably have some soup but what else is soft? Any suggestions?

Great post!

Yes. Thank you! I called the office to be on the safe side and they said since I don't have any additional discomfort, not to worry. I'm going on the 13 th for an appt so I might do florascope just to be safe.

I feel better. No more diarrhea or hurling (I never actually vomited just did dry hurling). I'm just relaxing in bed.

Hello. I'm almost 3 weeks post op and I have stomach virus. Dry heaves constant diarrhea. I'm so nervous with all the vomiting I'm doing with the band. Any advice?

I'm out 2.5 weeks. It went by so fast! How is everyone's weight loss? I've lost 24lbs since starting Preop diet on jan 1

Every ones body is different. Don't worry about it ladies I am sure you are fine. Good luck!

I had some Greek yogurt. Went down well. What do you guys suggest I eat hummus with?

Which book is that lady?

Any ideas?

Ellie all! Today I am 1 week banded. Im doing fantastic (thank God) feeling no hunger at all. I'm nervous to start eating real food though. Reading about stuck episodes freaks me out. Suggestions? Thanks!

My doctor had the band done! He looks amazing.

Weekends are my family time. :-) Would it be possible to do a weekday another time? I'd really love to do something around 4-5ish during the week.

That's great!! I love seeing people succeeding. Surprisingly enough I'm not hungry AT ALL! I think my head is really in the game.

I'm a week today too!!! I have lost 23 lbs since post op diet. I'm so proud of myself. :-)

That sounds very cool. I would like to go to a meet up and support group. I heard great things about dr. Ren. I had a follow up in the 17th and he said it was fine. I'm just a crazy worry wart! I usually work until 3 so something after that time would be nice.

Yeah it's more soreness with those ouch moments. How long did it last for you? Where on LI? I live in Great Neck.

Thank you for responding to me. My husband is a dr and he said the same thin although he isn't versed that well in lap band lingo. Just wanted someone's perspective on the issue. It feels like a full pain on my left side with a few sudden pinches sprinkled in. Snow storm in NY and no one is on call. It's not that bad. I will call dr tomorrow.

Lap band surgery went well. I hardly felt any pain other than by my incision. Didn't take pain meds. Today is day 6 I'm a teacher and went back to work. I feel sore on my left side and feel quick little stabs/pinches and then it leaves. They make me cringe for like 15-20 seconds and then back to normal. I've been walking slower and am more reserved in my movements today. Meanwhile the other days I was doing great. I'm a worry wart. Tell me I'm fine and this is normal :-)

I took some Tylenol. Seems to have helped

It kinda also feels like a nerve? Idk :-(

Went to work today for the first time day 6. Feel ache on left side like I did crunches only on that side. Does that sound normal?

No idea. My dr is very famous in this field. George Fielding. He's operated on Gov. Chris Christie and Jets coach Rex Ryan. He explained that the incision between my breasts was to hold liver up out of the way and the one in my belly button to laparoscopically insert band. Surgery took 30 min (50 mi. Total with anesthesia)

I have only two incisions--my belly button and a small small one in between my breasts.
