Hi! I am from St. Louis, MO. I had Lap band surgery on July 20th. Dr. Darin Minkin did my surgery. My highest weight was 380. The morning of surgery I weighed 347. I have already lost 20 pounds since the surgery. I am not hungry until the evening. I think I need a fill. I really like this forum!

I did a clear liquid fast for 2 weeks before my surgery in order to make the surgeons requirements... (I was two pounds less!) I did isopure for protien and no sugar liquids. You can do it~! Theere is a light at the end of this short tunnel.

I started out at 380 and was told by my Surgeron that he would not perform banding on me until I weighed 350 or less. I believe that many surgeons do this becuase of their insurance and liability. I did weigh in at 347 the morning of surgery and I have lost 20 pounds since the 20th of July!

I may be fat now, but I have had surgery to help me be thiner. There is no surgery to help you not be such an AS* H*LE!

I need to take a couse of antibiotics for an infection in two of my inscisions. The augmentin makes me feel so naseous. When I called my drs' exchange, one of MY dr's collgues told me to eat crackers with it! I am in mushy stage, and I feel like crap. Any suggestions?

Today I called my dr because 2 of my inscisions were red and pus-y. He put me on liquid augmentin...It makes me very nauseous. :omg: I remembered the suppositries I got just out of the hospital for nausea...I feel much better now. I feel very hungry today probaby because of PMS... oh goodie.

I also was banded the 20th! I want to post a thread on my own, but I can't figure out how.... Somebody help!

We have the same band day! I have not been too good at mushies. I have had cole slaw, tuna salad, pasta and un mashed beans. I have had no problems. Have you had a fill yet? I haven't. I have been steadily losing also. Do you eat 3 times a day?

I did not try powdered protein. I drank the premade stuff. Iso-Pure seemed to be the least evil tasting. You can get it at GNC and it is carb free. The Alpine Punch and Grape flavors were better.

I just had lap band surgery 7/20/2006. 50+BMI, highest weight 380. Weight morning of surgery 347. No fills yet. Current weight 328! I love the Onederland idea! My saying is... at 299, I will have a party. At 199 I am going to work naked! I am going to look for one of those tickers... I am so happy to be here!~

I had lap band surgery on July 20, 2006. My heaviest weight was 380. I had to get to 350 in order to be banded. I liquid fasted July 7th through the 20th. I had been dieting before that but on the 7th of july, I weighed 367. When I weighed the morning of my surgery I weighed 347.6! According to the scale at the Y (which never I could never weighon before...because it only went to 350) I weigh 328. I am feeling great. I do get hungry in the evening. I am thinking about eating breakfast, waiting until 3 or 4 til lunch, then have dinner at 7 or 8. I need to make my 1 month appt. with Dr. Minkin. Cam
