  1. Hi All, I came here to look for some support as I am struggling and scared . I was banded 6/14 my band has remained empty until my 1st fill on 7/11. My incesions have completly healed over, gas pains are gone and I feel great, expect for the CONSTANT HUNGER. I am suppose to be on liquids and Protein shakes until my 1st fill but I have disappointed myself and had solid food..... This evening I had scrmbled egss, cream of wheat, 1 twix candy bar and french fries, and I think I had so much because it all went down without any problems. Now I am worried that I have made a mistake and possibly runied my lapband. I am not looking to be judged because no one is perfect and everyone has eaten something they shouldn't have at some point. I am looking for anyone is willing to offer any ADVICE and SUPPORT. Should I be worried that my lapband is ruined before my first fill? Could my lapband have already slipped? Please Help..... Hi, it has been two years since I had it done, I have lost over 50lbs, wanted to be lower, but, I will get there, I am exercising now, I didn't for the longest time. Food went down easy for me too at first, before my first fill. I thought, oh boy, piece of cake, but I still ate cautiously, was afraid of food getting stuck! Believe me, your lapband has not slipped, I thought mine might have slipped till I had it checked in May, '11, because I was having a hard time of food getting stuck, so I would have to throw it up, but its the easiest way of getting rid of the pain. I had Fluid taken out in May, I wanted to eat somewhat 'normally', I don't overeat, but, I don't throw up either. You will be fine, just stick with your 'good' eating, everyone does mess up sometimes! And take your Vitamins, I had blood tests done in May, and I was under vitamized, if thats a word. Good luck!
