Hello,

I had my LAP-BAND® done on March 26th. I have lost about 35lbs so far which is good. How do I know when my band is at its restriction? Sometimes I can eat and sometimes I can't. It seems I have a harder time with healthier foods than I do others. I also stay hungry alot and I really want that to go away!! Any advise would be appreciated...Thanks

You will definitely know when you have good restriction. After you eat you will not feel hungry for several hours again.

My doctors wants you to do 2 days clear, 2 days liquid and 2 days mushie before going back to regular food.< /p>

I don't know if it works or not but I heard you can put meat tenderizer in warm Water and sip on it and this helps with food that is stuck.

Hi Everyone, I was banded on April 6, 2010 and had my first fill today. Doctor put in 3cc during surgery and today 1.5 cc was put in for a total of 4.5 ccs. Everything went well. I have lost a total of 23 lbs. I am really happy with results so far.
