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
