Never hungry? I wish I had that problem. I am always hungry, but I refuse to eat more than twice a day. I also consume lots of protein at both meals. I lost 28 lbs in 3 months. For some reason, my doctor is on leave and I haven't been able to get a fill, but I have an appointment, at the end of the month. I hope that helps with me feeling hungry all the time. I am pretty much able to eat everything except bagels, scrambled or fried eggs, and kale, other than that - I am good. I haven't had rice in 3 months, but I am not sure if it will make me sick.

Thank you for your response.

Hi, I had my surgery on March 17th and things have been going well, except when I eat something that makes me sick. I had eggs one day and I did try 1/2 toasted bagel and the pain knocked me out for the whole day. I spent half the day in the restroom and the other half in bed. Whether I stand, sit or lie down - the pain does not go away. Does anyone else have this issue? I can’t predict what is going to make sick - but I can’t eat something and then spend the day in bed?

Never thought of having hard-boiled eggs. I might have to try that and see what happens. Thanks!

I had eggs 3 weeks after surgery and I didn't feel well for two days. I will try them again next week and see how it goes.

Thanks for the information - next time I will try egg whites and see how that goes down.

So sorry that you are going through so much trouble. Hope your new surgery gives you the results you want.

My biggest issue is eating slowly. While i am trying to use 30 minutes to eat - I am usually done in 7 minutes! URGH!!

I am a little confused. I had lap band surgery on 3/17 and saw the doctor 7 days after surgery and had X-rays taken and she said everything looks good and scheduled my next appt 3 months out. I thought the doctor was supposed to tighten the band. Am I wrong? So far I haven’t had any issues and lost 24 pounds since I scheduled surgery. The two weeks of protein shakes before the surgery definitely helped.

I had eggs and I felt sick for two days. I think I tried them too soon after surgery. I will try them again in a couple of weeks and see how it goes.

I have heard some horror stories about the lap band, but I had surgery on the 17th and I am down 22 pounds and I don't have any stomach pain or hard time breathing or anything getting stuck (thank goodness). I am eating three meals a day and drinking water in between. I just started eating soft food and while I didn't lose any weight this week, I also didn't gain any weight - which is good. I am sure once I incorporate some more exercise, my weight will go down. I am not expecting miracles - 1 to 2 lbs a week, will make me happy.

I had surgery on the 17th - I also took normal sips, no baby sips (just on the day of the surgery). I had broth, protein shakes, and tea.

I have eaten scallops and cod, while on my soft food diet. I am actually going out to eat for Easter and I plan on ordering tuna tartare and branzino with cauliflower.

Since we are not allowed to drink while eating, is it possible to eat dinner with a glass of wine? Please say "yes"😊
