Thanks for your reply. Actually I went to another Dr. in Raleigh and had my lap band surgery on June 29. I have lost 55 pounds as of today and have had great success with the lap band. I went to Dr. Enochs in Cary. He also goes to Rex Hospital and his staff is really nice and great to work with. The office staff at Dr. Moran's office totally dropped the ball with me on my stuff. I had everything completed in Dec. of last year right after Christmas and by april and still not heard anyrthing from them..... I then moved everything to Dr. Enoch's and was very pleased. good luck:smile:

I too have felt some of the same feelings!! I used Miralax and it worked great - I just mix it in with my Crystal Light Lemonade - no taste and it does the trick.:thumbup:

Hi everyone, I am wondering if you can actually not eat enough at this point. when I get so busy going from one place to the next during the day I find that I am not eating very much - for instance this morning I had 1/2 sugar-free jello - then nothing until 2:30 when I had about 1/4 can of cream of chicken soup - tonight I decided that maybe I needed more than I was giving myself so I ate the entire can of cream of chicken tonight. Just wondering if I could go on "stravation mode" even while in stravation mode! I have not lost any weight in the last two days.

Hi all, today has been better now that I can have creamed soup although I had to endure my husband and daughter making homemade pizza that smelled GREAT! I have now worked up to walking a mile - I have been exercising since the 3rd day. I just hope that I can keep up with this creamy soup for 5 more days and then I get to go to soft eggs and mashed potatoes!!!! I think I will die! I am also having some problems with burping - I too hope it goes away. Take care and stay strong.

Hi, I was also banded on June 29 in Raleigh NC and stayed overnight due to low oxygen sats and a repair of hyital hernia and scar tissue. I feel good and have taken no pain medicine since I have been home. I have just moved to cream soups and pudding today and will see my Dr. on July 14 for the first time. I have moved to cream soups and pudding today and I feel better. I also had real hungry for the past two days and could not seem to ever feel full My band is not filled yet and probably will not be until about 3 more weeks. I have the realize band. Hope you all are doing great today.

i was banded on June 29 and I started cream soups and pudding today. I also was feeling hungrey but managed to stay on my clear liquids for the week. Just had my first Cream of chicken soup and it was good and filling.

Hi, I just got banded on June 29. I am still wondering what I did and why at times and yet am still excited about losing weight and amazed that I am not climbing the walls while on a liquid diet. I have a great friend who did this 6 months ago and has lost 80 pounds. She is my inspiration. Just hoping I can get through this rough period.....:smile2:

this is my first time posting. I am considering thelap-band and started the process with Dr. Moran in Nov. In Dec. I went to all the appointment/tests ordered by his office - the first of Jan I met with nutritionist and psych in his office - I have never heard another word from his office. I called in March and left a voice message with Michelle to say that I had not had any response and wondered what was going on - I have still had no response from his office - Has anyone else had this issue.... I am considering going over to Dr. Enoch's. Thanks for any advice.:smile:
