Yes the most important thing to do is what the docotr say. My doctor told me do five days out but AND i did not HAVE any problems, so i started early it want huRt you only help you more if you start before hand. The reason is for the liver TO STRINK , so they do know what they are talking about or they would not tell you. Good luck!

I was banded on 8-17-09, and i've lost 12lbs. My doctor told me in the beginning with the lap band that most people only lose about 70 to 80 pds max. Just wondering why you chose to have the lap band, instead of bypass or the sleeve. I.ve had no problems, want go to the doctor until 9-17-09, i guess they will give me my first fill. I know some people dont even get a fill, until much later. Good luck.

ANY GOOD DOCTOR WILL FIX YOUR HERNIA MY DOCTOR FIXED MY ALSO. I WAS BANDED 8-17-09N SO WE ARE DOING ABOUT THE SAME. STARTED 222 SURGERY DAY 215, NOW 210. GOOD LUCK!

WHAT IS A TITLED PORT?

HOW DID U LOSE SO FAST, I WAS BANDED 8-17-09 AND STARTED MY PRE-OP 8-10-09 LIQUIDS ONLY, AND HAVE ONLY DROPPED 12LBS. I STARTED OFF AT 222 NOW DOWN TO 210. THIS IS DAY 9 STILL AT 210.

this is interesting all the diffrent answer, your incisions must have been pretty deep. my surgeron used liquid bandage and it dissolves by it self. i was able to take a bath the next day.

i was banded on 8-17-09 doing good. this site is good for imformation. i used the whey protein the vanilla and i mix it with low fat milk. liquids can been any juice that is 100% juice only, crystal light, sugar free jello, sugar free popsicle all you want, wylers chicken broth. it hard the frist couple of days than it gets easy.

:cool2::glare:THIS IS DAY 7, AND IM CONFUSED, I DONT KNOW WHEN TO EAT BECAUSE IM NO HUNGRY. THIS MORNING AT ABOUT 8:30 I HAD A PROTEIN DRINK THAT I MADE IN THE BLENDER, THAN ABOUT 11:00 I HAD 2 FREEZE POPS, AND ABOUT 2:15 I HAD A 1/4 A CUP OF MASH POTATO, WITH MEATLOAF SAUCE ON TOP. IT IS NOW 6:00 AND I HAVE NOT EATEN ANYTHING ELSE. I ALSO HAD ABOUT MAYBE 22 OZ TO DRANK TODAY. MY WEIGHT IS 210 BACK TO 211 THAN SOMETIMES 212 BACK TO 210. WHATS REALLY GOING ON IF SOMEONE CAN COMMENT I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

YOU KNOW IT DEPENDS HOW BAD YOU WANT THIS. ONCES YOU PRAY AND ASK GOD LET HIS WILL BE DONE ITS O.K. HE WOULD NOT TAKE YOU THIS FAR TO LEAVE YOU. I WAS BANDED ON 8-17-09 DOING REALLY GOOD. IM STILL ON MY FULL LIQUIDS I GET CONFUSED AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN TO EAT BECAUSE IM NOT HUNGRY. BUT YOU MUST DRINK ALL THE LIQUIDS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD. ALSO MY DOCTOR MADE ME FELL GOOD ALSO HE IS REALLY SUPPORTIVE, AND HE'S A PEOPLES PERSON, AND THAT REALLY MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ALSO. MY DAUGHTER WILL BE GETTING HER BAND IN ABOUT TWO MORE MONTHS. I WANTED TO DO IT FIRST SO I CAN HELP HER SHE IS 21 AND REALLY WATCHING ME AND SHE SEE HOW COMMITTED I'VE BEEN. ITS HARD RIGHT NOW BUT NOTHING GOOD COMES EASY, AND ACTUALLY IT HAS NOT BEEN HARD. HOPE THIS HELP

THE PROTEIN IS NOT SO BAD, TRY THE WHEY VANILLA PROTEIN FROM WALMART. THE LACTAID FREE MILK, WITH VANILLA EXTRACT. SOMETIMES I USE THE V8 SPLASH WITH IT THIS HAS 1/2 VEG, AND FRUIT PER SERVING. THE TRICK TO PROTEIN DRINKS IS A BLENDER AND CRUCHED ICE FROM SONIC. HOPES THIS HELP.
