I walked the hallway at the hospital several times....then I asked to go home early...just walk as much as you feel you can. Was very little pain and little gas Goodw luck you got this!!

Hi Jennifer I live in Indiana.....we are neighbors. I had lapband on 3/6/14. I WILL NEVER forget that date. I have lost about 28 lbs since surgery and have a bunch more to lose. I feel the lbs are not coming off fast enough but I will take 2-3 lbs a week. This is a daily struggle and I have found that the band is only a tool to help us. I have only had one fill and wasn't much so looking forward to the next fill in May. I will be your buddy. ..If you want. We will be about 2 months apart Take care KIM

Had first fill today...was totally painless. Banded 3/6. Lost 25 lbs since 3/1. And 17 since surgery day. (Gained 6 during surgery) I Will take 20-25 lbs a month Dreamsicle orange protein shake is awesome!! My new flavor for month 2 Good luck everyone!!

Please please add me...berley3 Have a nice day Kim

Please please add me.... berley3 Look forward to sharing this journey...1 lb at a time. We can do this! ! Kim

Hello Hope your recovery is as uneventful as mine and all goes well. Just stick to the plan one day at a time. 1/2 lb a day...seems like a little but I will take it in the long haul. Keep your eye on the final results and this time next year just imagine the after pictures we will be posting Good luck Kim

It's strange.....mine was green and runny...I think body detox.....3 weeks out and it's solid but still green...might also be vitamins. TMI....lol

Ok..feeling pretty good 2 weeks out from surgery. ONLY ISSUE is every now and again I'm getting dry heaves nothing comes up but air...then feels like a monster on my stomach. Only last about 1 minute. Anyone else had this?

The mayo made with olive oil is pretty good.....and 30 calories for tablespoon.

Good morning. My port is on right side...and I only know that because of the xray...I can't feel it and had no idea. I think they can put them anywhere. Sorry..I'm not much help.. How are things going otherwise. Good luck Kim

I also was banded March 6th and now starting the puree stage. I seem to be and hope to continue he to lose about 3-5 lbs a week. I would be happy. I am obsessed with the scale and need to lock it up for 6 days.lol. I rode 5 miles on stationary bike a few days ago and dietitian the next day said that is good just don't over do it. Our body will tell us when to stop. Good luck to you all...hopefully we can follow each other through this journey. My niece in Texas is a month ahead of me and we have goal of 30 lbs by May 15th. It's nice to have goals and someone that can help keep on track and motivated. I have a big trip in October. ...for every time I work out I will put a star on my inspirational board and every star my hubby will give me $5 more to spend. We are on the other side and this is all up to us....we now have a tool to help us. WE can do this!!!

I'm in Lafayette and had lapband in Noblesville last week.
