    I had quite a bit of pain and discomfort. However... Today (day 3) is much better..I've tried to feel the port... But it looks like I'm gonna need to shed some softness around the middle before I can actually feel it!

    Post op eating

    Well I had the same concern- I haven't been able to find a diet that satiated me EVER But since I got my LapBand I notice that I don't have the ravenous MUST HAVE MORE urges. For example...I was feeling like I should eat something today, Then I ate 1/2 cup of Greek Yogurt with strawberries on the bottom--- (super high in protein). I became "full" feeling quickly. Detecting the "full" feeling has never been easy for me before my LapBand. It would usually come once my stomach was completely stretched and unpleasant. This is why I have so much hope for using this tool as a way to make healthy choices in foods and portion size. Have you ever looked at a label on anything and seen the "recommended service size"?? I used to think that those serving sizes were appropriate for toddlers, but not anyone above the age of 12. Today has been a great day. I am finally taking action and doing something positively healthy for me. Hope this helps! We gotta stick together. Because only we understand. The "slenders" (you know the people that can eat a bucket of KFC and finish off a cake and never gain an ounce, they just don't understand what I'm talking about. But you guys here are "my tribe" I'm glad I made the choice to get a LapBand and found you guys in the process! Rob in Utah
