Hi, I am having surgery in a week and am kind of scared. Lots of people I know who have had lap band were never able to eat bread again , even hamburger buns which are soft . I wanted to know how that is for people who have already had surgery. I also wanted to know if anyone who is a sushi lover , is able to eat sushi with lap band. :help:The closer it gets , the more questions I think of. Thank you very much

I was wondering if anyone smokes hookah here that has a lap band. I know it shouldn't harm the lap band but i wanted to double check because i am paranoid

I actually asked my doctor if drinking water fast matters. and i was happy with the response i received. It does not matter how fast you drink as long as you wait before and after eating. I asked if it would stretch my pouch to drink fast, and he said water goes right through it so it does not matter

yes , thank you

I was wondering if anyone drinks and eats in the same time , or doesnt wait all 30 minutes ? and if they feel weird when they do this. It is summer time and I am always thirsty and find it hard not to drink a lot. I also wanted to know of anyone drinks faster than recommended , or how fast do people drink ? for the first 2 weeks i was told to drink an ounce in fifteen minutes , i am starting my fourth week of post op diet , and i cant possibly wait 15 minutes to drink. am i harming myself ?

Hi i was wondering if anyone has gotten stuck before a fill , and if so on what? thanks :bandit , im just very scared to even get stuck once. Everyone says you will know and feel it , but im scared to feel that "it'

I was wondering if you can harm your band if you drink too fast ? Is there a reason why we can not drink and eat inthe same time ? does anyone ? what happens if you do

Hi, I am starting my mushie food stage in a few days and was wondering if anyone ever broke down fiber one cereal in skim milk and made it mushie during this stage. I am getting no fiber and was thinking this can give me some fiber in my body. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried it or thinks its a bad/good idea.

where can i find benefiber ? any Vitamin store ? thank you for the help .. im lacking fiber so much.

I keep seeing that soy crisps pretty much go down for everyone easily. I was wondering how far into the solid stage people tried them? or if it was tolerated right after the mushie stage? thanks : )

I was wondering if anyone eats blintzes , tostitos/nachos or french fries-baked once in the solid stage.

yeah thats what i meant . i am not planning on eating them all day . i just want to get some education on whats allowed and whats tolerated by people. thank you

do u eat the pita with the falafel or just the falafel balls ? they are really tasty you should try them.

I am really confused about foods that are tolerable and not , like people have been eating toasted bagels and everythings alright ? I am new at this so am not sure how anytihng works but i wanted to know a few things. 1- Does anyone eat hot dogs ? and if so when after surgery did they first have one 2- How about string cheese? 3- salads ? lettuce and all that? 3- Does anyone tolerate pizza? if so , which is the easiest I know i will lose my cravings since i recently just got surgery but i just wanted to know what i can have say i would go to a restaurant with some friends.

I was wondering when something gets stuck how do you know its stuck. I mean im sure theres an uncomfortable feeling but i wanted to know what kind of feeling and how you would approach it if its in public. ?

thank you so much. very helpful information.

What do you eat when you are in public ? is it possible to have a slice of pizza and not be embarrassed or anything in that matter ?

how does the band slip ? I was told it only slips when things get stuck in it enough times. Do you feel it slip when it does ? I hope everything is better!

Hi , I am new to the lap band and just got it this past tuesday. I wanted to know a few things that were on my mind about whats tolerated and when if it is tolerated. I wanted to know if Calcium Chewys are allowed or if they got stuck to someones lap band. Thank you Very much !!!!

yeah , i just started , i wanted to know if you might know in general if i can have those in a few weeks. But I suppose I will double check with my doctor to be safe. Thank you !

I really love sushi , and am being banded in 6 days. I wanted to know who is able to eat it thats already been banded.

Hi i am getting banded this upcoming monday. I wanted to know how the after pain is as to what hurts the most , and if it is REALLY painful. Thank you

I never knew you can not have advil ? why is that.

Hi , I was wondering if you can smoke after surgery ? I was also wondering how does alcohol react with people who already got the lab band. I am contemplating lab band or gastric bypass; and just cant decide !:help: Once you lost most of your weight , can you eat normal solid food ? if yes what are a few examples I need to make this decision quick thank you
