  1. Happy 28th Birthday Amber1984!

  2. Hello bandsters!! Today I had my 1st fill 3cc in a 10 cc band.....My nurse did it (my doctor barley said hello to me) My nurse has had gastric bypass and her daughter the lap band! She found the port on the 1st try! I'm on a liquid diet today and mushies tomorrow. I can start solid food Saturday. I'm very excited for my journey to begin! I have lost 20lbs since pre-op diet 1/28/10. During post op (after 12 days) I begun solid foods (I'm a cheater) I was allowed salad and soft chicken and fish I ate mostly that but did take bites of other solid food from time to time. I am anxious to see how I tolerate (or don't tolerate) solid foods now. I can't to see more weight loss.I pray everything goes smoothly!! Let me know what you think or if you have any advice.....Thanks everyone!:blushing:
  3. SO Tomorrow is my first fill......any advice or tips? What should I expect here on out? I'm a little nervous!! I'm just scared to have complications!! Please advise!!! Thanks :sad:

  6. :confused:Hello so today is day 5 out of surgery and I'm feeling very depressed. I have 2 small kids and being in pain and discomfort isn't allowing me to participate in anything with them. I know this pain/discomfort is only temporary but about how long did everyone else feel down and out... before surgery I read so many good stories about people recovering so quickly and with my 2 c-sections I was fine within a matter of days...this port site is very painful and uncomfortable.. All I want to do is lay in bed....I need some words of encouragment please help...

  9. I was banded 2/9/10 here I am four days after surgery super hungry. Is there anything I can eat? Did everyones MD have them on a clear liquid diet for 1-2 weeks after? I feel really hungry and weak. Popsicles,broth and jello are just not cutting it....any suggestions? Can I have mashed potatoes or cream of wheat?
