I have the 10cc ap standard. I am very disappointed in myself. I dont really have any restriction because I only have 4 cc in the band. I am going on Thursday and hopefull getting a fill so that I can continue!! Has anyone else had this problem? Its very discouraging!!

I am four weeks out from lap band and I am on regular foods now. I , of course, dont eat as much and I take little bites but I am eating. I have noticed that frequently after I eat I have really bad right shoulder pain and upper right chest pain. Its always right after I eat and last between 15 min. to an hour. It hurts sooooo bad. Am i eating too much? My tummy doesnt feel like I am, but this pain is horrible. Please help!!

I was wondering if anyone is able to take difflican after Lapband? It is a holiday, and I know it would be near impossible to get in contact with my doctors office. Thanks!!

So you were banded on May 9th also? How long were you on the liquid diet? I havent been hungry yet. In my mind, sure Id love to have a piece of pizza or some Olive Garden, but I know I cant eat it. Honestly after I have to chew stuff soo long, I dont even want to eat anything. I am so glad that I havent been hungery though. What kind of mushy foods are you eating? Just wondering. I am trying to eat, I havent had anything bother me yet. Had some chilli and some potatos, then some scrambled eggs. What have you tried??

Go Band!!! LOL I have had my band since May8th. I am so thrilled!! I have lost 22lbs. I know that when I start to eat that I wont lose as fast, but thats ok. I have already went down a size in jeans!! One more size and I can shop at Gap again. I just started on my mushies today!! I had a scrambled egg, and for dinner I had egg drop soup with crunchies in it. I just chewed them very, very well!! No problem, except a little gas later. Sometimes I get gas just breathing. lol I agree about the negative stuff. It happens!!! Its a struggle, but so is living!! Its soo worth it in the end!! You will feel soo much better and have soo much energy!! I love it!! If you are thinking about being banded, research, and make sure its right for you!!:woot:

I was banded on May 8th. I have lost 20lbs so far. Good job everyone!!

Mashed Potatos, very thin, is on my menu of what I can have. I am sorry, but thats what my surgeon said!!! Give me a break. Dont act like I am an idiot who hasnt read anything on this forum or in the notebook that I was givin. I was doing what I thought was right. PLEASE!!!

The reason I was eating the gravy was to thin out the potatos because I am so weak from not eating. Like I said before, I was following my surgeons orders. They were no thicker than the protein shake that I drink, and I had two bites.

I was banded on may 9th and yes it is normal!! I am 5 days post-op and it still hurts a little. It does get better though. Just hang in there!!

I am allowed to have mushies in 14 days too!! I dont understand that differance in the diets!! There is such a variance on the site. Some people get down right testy about it too!! I had one guy just all but call me an idiot when I thinned some mashed potatos on day 4. I had no problem. It was no thicker than my protein shake!! LOL

What is shasimi?

Thursday, May 8th

I know that its early for me, but its late and I cant sleep. Im having one of those......oh no!! I cant eat that anymore moment and I just thought I would ask. Is anyone able to eat sushi?? Just the cooked rolls, such as the california roll?? I dont do the raw stuff! lol

Thanks!! I have to agree that was a little harsh. Its not like I have done this before and I know what to do. I trusted these people and the many other people on this site enought to do what they said. I just didnt understand why I was hurting if I was doing what they said. Please dont take that the wrong way, I am really trying hard to get this right.
