Hi Everyone

I Had The Band Put In On October 5th 2006, And Had My First Fill On October 27th. Since Then I Have Started On Soft Foods eggs, Soft Potatos Ect..... I Notices That I Feel Like I Cant Swallow Like The food Is Getting Stuck In My Throat And At Times I Feel Like I Am Going To Throw Up. Does This Happen To Any Of You?

Anther Question I Have Is Are There Any coffee Drinkers Out There. I Am A Huge Fan Of Coffee And Have Been Drinking Regular, I No It Is Not Good For Me Because It Is A Dieretic And All, But Is It Going To Really Hurt Me To Have A Cup Of Undecaffinated Per Day Or Am I Hurting My Insides?

Please Help

Hi Newbie

I Had My Lap Band Done On October 5th 2006, I Am Just About A Month Post Op And Have Already Have Had My First Fill(october 27th). I Am Down 38lbs In Less Than A Month And Feel Back To My Normal Self.

I Had Never Had Surgery Before The Band And Honestly It Was Not Bad At All. The Hardest Part For Me Was The Clear liquid diet For A Week Post Op. It Was Almost Like I Went Through A Depression Because I Had Lost My "best Friend" Fooooood!

But Now All Is Well I Eat Small Healthy Sensible Meals And Am Very Comfortamble With My Decision To Have The Lap Band Surgery.

Good Luck On You Journey, Be Patient It Is Worth It!

I Notices On Alot Of Posts That Along The Bottom You Can Put A Grid With You Weight Loss Progress, How Do I Do This?

Thanks Pugleg

I Was Wondering If Anyone Can Give Me Examples Of Soft Solid Foods, I Had My First Fill On Friday The 27th, My Doctor Told Me To Do liquids Until Monday And Soft Solids For A Week. Do Soft Solids Include Scrambled eggs?

Hi Bandedshopgirl

I Had The Band Put In On October 5th, I Lost 26lbs In Nine Days, Since Then My scale At Home Has Stayed The Same. I Have Been Drinking 2-3 Protein Shakes Per Day.(gnc100%protein). I Am Curtious Too, Can This Be Slowing Weight Loss Process?

I Had My Band Put In On October 5th, When I Went For My Check Up 9 Days Later I Was Down 26lbs.

I Had A Really Hard Time The First Week Out Of Surgery, The Clear Liquids Did Not Satisfy Me And I Got Really Depressed, As Soon As I Could Start On Soft Solids I Became A New Person.

Get Through The First Two Weeks And It Gets Alot Easier.

Please If After The Surgery You Need Someone To Talk To About How You Are Feeling Send Me A Thread And Ill Be There.

Good Luck To All Of You On Your New Journey.
