Wait until the relatives visit. I didn't tell any of my family either and when my sister- in- law came it was tough. I just had a fill and was on liquids. I just told her that my stomach didn't feel well and that I would eat a little later. Then the next day came and I just said I wasn't hungry. By the third day I had to eat something in front of her so I put it on my plate ate some and then when she was done got up and cleared the table and threw it away. I am sure she noticed but didn't say anything. I just told her I was trying to cut back since swimsuit season was right around the corner.

That happened to me. I was banded in February and 6 weeks after surgery had that happened. It was an infection. I called the doctor and he put me on strong antibotics. I called on a Saturday and by Monday when I went to see him it was better.

My band is 14cc and I have 6cc in it now. I am getting all my protein through shakes. I am on my monthly cycle and the band seems tighter. The doctor told me this would happen. I am glad that I have restriction it makes the will power alot easier. Good luck. I hope you get restriction at your fill.

I was banded on Feb 21, 2008 and I was with all of you. I ate everything!!! Steak, pizza, hamburgers. UNTIL my 2nd fill! I have restriction now. I don't eat very much alot of soup and I am suppose to go back on Monday. I can asure you it wont be for a fill.

I was banded on Feb 21 2008 and I started mushy foods too and have no restrictions. I cheated a little bit and had no trouble and still didn't feel full. It is hard to stick to mushy because I know I can handle regular food. Good luck I am just trying to focus on losing weight.:drool:

I went to the doctor on January 30, 2008. My doctor put the request in for the lap band and I received word from my doctor that I was approved on Feb.11 they said that they had just turned in the request on the 7th so the approval came fast. My surgery is shceduled for Feb. 21. Tricare works fast.
