Hi Amy. I am 17 days post op and right there with you. My first fill is scheduled for April 19; later than both the doctor and I'd prefer, but but out of town prior and he didn't want to do it too early. Once the swelling went down, I too, experienced the return of my appetite. I'm trying very hard (and succeeding) with my food choices, but I feel like I'm eating too much and/or too often. Since surgery, I've lost 9 pounds, but I feel like this week has been a big stall. Any suggestions to get past the initial post-op stall? Best of luck to everyone!

@@BigT130 Best of luck to you tomorrow...be brave for it's a whole new world waiting for us. We'll all be waiting to hear from you!

I, too, feel that using straws makes for a rumbling air/gas filled tummy. I'm just finishing day 3 post-op. Lap Band was Monday, Mar. 7. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Best of luck to you.
