I had no idea icees were carbonated! I splurged and had one the other day and today. My husband asked me today, "aren't those carbonated?" I was totally bummed when I looked it up online and found out they were! Whoops! No more icees for me! I'm guessing my band is ok...I didn't have any discomfort or anything but now I know!

I had surgery 12/30 and the back pain was horrible! It lasted like that for a few days and now it is off and on but it seems worse right after I have eaten or drink anything. I'm still on yogurt and pudding and the likes so I dunno....hopefully from what I'm reading it will eventually go away completely. I do wish I would have been prepared for that though. It hurts so bad afterwards I was wondering, "What the heck did I get myself into???" Now it's not too bad.

I have lost 11 pounds since the pre-op diet. I was on it for a week and I had the surgery a week ago. I don't feel any smaller but that is okay. It takes time. If anything my stomach still feels very swollen. My perfect fitting slacks hug a little too much in the waist right now. My port incision is right on my waist line too! Which blows! I still feel gassy too. When does that go away?

Hi! I am new here too! I had my lapband on Dec. 30th. I am still on full liquids but I was told I can have pudding and yogurt as well but I'm starving! I get really tired by midday. I have left shoulder pain and my upper back kinda hurts...it feels tight. I don't know how else to describe it. You are lucky to be feeling so well! I have lost 7 pounds since my surgery but I figure that is pretty good since it has only been a week. I keep imagining how good scrambled eggs from IHOP would be right now. LOL! I teach7th and 8th grade so by midday the hunger is pretty bad. Hopefully I haven't been to cranky with the kids. LOL! Good luck with your band!
