  4. I'd start now at my first post op today I also had my surgery a week ago yesterday my doc told me to start working my upper body. So I gotta start going now but I'd deff start going. I'm jealous I've only lost 13lbs since surgery. But I feel good lol its a work in progress and I just started on the protein shakes I'm already sick of the broth lol but you'll do good and with the meds I got like that with the pain pills they prescribed me. I just started drinking more water. Helped a little but I'd pry talk to ur doc about that at ur visit they should be able to tell u something

  6. Hi, I just got banded. July 20, 2015. Goal weight is 135. Weight prior to pre op 280. Current weight 266. Am currently on liquid diet. Nothing but water and milk and broth. Jello every other day. I'm really trying not to gain weight. So I'm strictly following this diet. But look King for buddies out there. Let me know
  7. Looking for someone else who has the lap band to work out with or hang out with. That can teach me kinda what to eat. I've so far since July 20, 2015 surgery date lost 11 lbs. But I didn't read the guide lines of what to eat what days and have been on clear liquid diet for 5 days. I just added milk to my full liquid diet and protein mix. So anything helps. let me know
  8. Just deff keep sipping water. It helped a little and Phillips milk of magnisia helped with the gas.

  10. Ty. It's pretty scary but it'll be worth it
  11. I had mine done on Monday the 20th now I'm 4 days post op. I felt good aside from my bowels being crazy. But my first appointment is this next Tuesday I'm pretty excited to find out if I've lost weight or if I can go to a full liquid diet yet
  12. I am five days post op and I am having a lot of gas pains. My in sis ions are doing good don't hurt. But the bowel movements are bad. My suggestion if it's bowel movements get laxitive. My surgeons nurse told me to get it bc they wanted all the gas to get out of my body. Hopefully I feel better tommorow. No more laying around gotta get things done
