I was banded June 28th. Counting the pre-surgery diet I have lost a total of 24 pounds and nearly all of that was the pre-surgery diet. In the beginning I was NOT doing any extra walking or exercising. For about a month now I have added 2-3 times up six flights of stairs and recently some jogging on one of those small trampoline joggers. Nothing happening yet.

It seems recently some days I can eat ok, minus of course the foods that no longer agree with me, (chicken, steak, eggs, tortillas, bread), other days I cannot even eat oatmeal without vomiting. Those days everything I eat is so painful if I am not vomiting , I am praying to.

I am so disappointed with myself.

Tuesday Aug 5th, I will get my first fill. I am anxious but a little scared. I already tried eating two things that got stuck. Wow, was that painful!! Now I am afraid of peanut butter. I have tried little pieces of bread and that seems to be ok now.

Since my pre-surgery 90 diet I have lost 29 pounds. I was hoping for a little more but I am really ok with that.

I have found this website to be VERY helpful. I read the postings and gain knowledge and new optimism.

I thought I would get a fill after 10 days but after reading the material again, it says after 6 weeks. EEe gads can i hold on that long?

I had my lap band surgery on June 27th in Omaha, NE. It is my understanding they do not fill the band right away. You must wait 10 days, during which time you are to be on a full liquid diet. I am really struggling with this liquid diet. I am not loosing any weight. My scale does match the scale at doctors but I believe I have lost about 2 pounds. Very disappointing. :confused2:
