I had my last fill about 3 weeks ago, and all I've been able to down is Tomato Soup, juices, Jello and Water. Anything else makes me throw up. Is this normal? I've been banded since March 10', and I can't really complain about the loosing weight part, just wondering if its ok. My doctor always stresses how important it is to eat. And im to the point now where I dont even want to eat, im never hungry and about the only calorie intake I get a day is from jello or the creamer in my coffee. HELP! Need some feedback.

I was banded last Friday, and today is the first day I've really pressed around on my stomach, and I can't seem to feel my port. Im really worried about this. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. I dont want to have to be cut on again Thanks

I was banded in Overland Park at the Weight Loss Surgical Center last friday!

Just wondering what everyone was eating post-op. Tomorrow will be my first full day of having the band, and all I have been eating is popcicles. Thanks for the input, everything is appriciated!

My surgery is tomorrow at 10am! Yay! I was wondering what kind of exercise programs everyone is on...... how much, how long, how many days a week. Of course I know, the harder you work, the better the results. Thanks for the post!

I was wondering how many people have experienced hair loss, the severity of it, and how they have treated it.

Best of luck to you! My surgery is this coming friday, and im a nervous wreck also! I have a two year old son, whom im concerned about lifting and taking care of.... Im going to take it easy and try as hard as I can not to lift him, but i know it will be impossible to go the full 4 weeks without doing so. I had to lift quite a bit after my c-section because my husband worked over the road, and was never home. It healed just fine, you just have to go about the way you lift things differently. No bending over, you will need to work more with your legs. GOOD LUCK!!!

I know that everyone is different, but I was wanting to get some feedback on this. After being banded, how much weight did you loose until the first fill appointment? Just wondering if the liquid diet im about to go on helps with any weight loss. Thanks everyone for the post!

My surgery is this coming friday, and the doctor never said anything about a "pre-op" diet. All they said was not to eat or drink anything after midnight. Just wondering what everyone else has had to do. Thanks!
