Had my first fill today, felt like a bee sting from the numbing shot, then my fill. Not painful at all.....Down 10 lbs in 5 weeks.

I take protein shots has 42 grams of protein, I also drink protein ice 42 grams of protein. isopure has 4 0 grams of protein. Good way to get your protein in and liquids.

So do u tend to get buzzed more quickly now that you are banded?

How soon did any of you bandsters start drinking alcoholic beverages after your lapband? And what would you all drink? Your comments are greatly appreciated.!

Helped me more. I'm now on pureed foods and not a very fan or don't know how to get created with that. Hope you get to feeling better.

Lol or gassy assy! I was banded on Jan 30th and gas pain stuck around for exactly 2 weeks. I walked and walked that seemed to help, gas x didn't do nothing for me. I found out that diluted warm apple juice

I'm on stage 2, which consists of broth, soup, sf popsicle , sf fudgesicle, jello, yogurts and pudding and must have 64 oz of fluids and 80 grams of protein daily.. I don't start on pureed foods till stage 3 day 21 post op.

That's okay. I felt good other than having gas pain/discomfort. The worst part is the gas pain, especially when it radiates to your left shoulder/back. I was up and walking around the same day and went back to work after a week.

I am 15 days post op and I feel full all the time. For example, I had a 1/2 a lean shake for breakfast and the other half for a snack and still feel really full. Any suggestions/comments are greatly appreciated.

I had my lap band on Jan 30th and still have gas pain. Drinking warmed up diluted apple juice has helped me. Good luck

Pre op weigh in January 30th @ 244 lbs Post op weigh in February 5th @236 Whoop whoop happy dance. best of luck 2 all!!!

Oh nooo..I will get weighed tomorrow. Lol I will make sure of that and I'm so ready to get these staples out.

How much weight did I lose from January 30 to February 5th? I have been following my diet to the T, maybe 8 lbs??? I haven't weighed myself cut I don't have a scale at home. I guess that's a good thing. What do yall think?

Dilute apple juice with water and warm it up. It helped me with gas relief and a bowel movement.

Of water. I tried the unflavored protein but it taste horrible with jello and broth. I would rather Drink the water down Kool aid. Sorry for the 3 post I kept hitting send instead of the arrow . Have a good day!

From GNC. It's a drink with 40 grams of protein. It taste like water down Kool aid, not so bad. U drink 2 a day and get your 80 grams of protein and 48oz

I'm still on liquids, Popsicles, broth and jello till after my staples are removed. I bought Isopure

2 days post op and I'm feeling good other than gas pain, but Slowly going away. Attached is a pic of my stage 1 menu just as and FYI. Ready for this journey and ready to see them results! BRING IT ON! [ATTACH]40992[/ATTACH]

I'm 2 days post op. My main discomfort is gas pain in upper chest and left shoulder. I too have been taking gas x, but doesn't work. I laid down on my side and that helped alot. I also put pillows behind my back and today I went to Walmart, shopped and walked, that helped out tremendously. I blew up when I got home, talk about RELIEF!!!! Hang in there!

Before my feeling good juice was given. I wasn't as nervous as I was b4. Tyj [ATTACH]40913[/ATTACH]

Already home and walking trying to get this gas out. Already took gas x strips., but doesn't seem to b working and I'm walking around the house...never thought I wanted to pass gas as much as I do now! Any other suggestions!?

My husband went with me to seminar and office visits. He is my #1 supporter.

Thank you all! I'm waiting impatiently in the preop. I'm so lucky cut this is the place I work, I know everyone and know I will get the best care!!
