Hey everyone.... im 3 days, well 4 days now i guess. last night i was so hungry, i was told to stay on clear liquids for a week after. i have school and things to do and i was weak and could not do anything. so night 2 post op i had a small small amount of milk... it helped, the morning of the 3rd day i had a little more milk in the morning, it worked a little, but last night i was SO hungry it had been 10 days since i had anything more than jello or gatorade. I REALLY DID NOT WANNA GO AGAINST THE ORDERS BUT ****** so i got me some pudding and took like 20 minutes to eat it ( VERY SLOW ) just testing the waters,..... 15 minutes later i was hungry again!!. so i got piece of cheese and ate that very very slow....... few minutes went by and hunger was back even worse..... so YES I finally made me one egg scrambled and ate that very slow......it seems to have worked fine. i woke up a couple hours ago with some pressure im my chest , maybe like i ate too much ( it was different than the Gassy pressure like you have to burp) but now i feel fine.... now i didnt eat unhealthy but i did skip to eggs a little faster than the Doctor wants but im just gonna tell him Monday when i see him. I was starving and was dizzy, weak, and headaches. and i needed somethin. im not sayin anyone do that, but the way i looked at it is if im hungry already that bad, then i must not be swollen too bad which means i could probably eat somethin thicker, so thats why i started to work my way up to an egg lastnight..... i may not go it again until monday after i talk to the Dr. but i can make it now......

Hey i just made this account , just wanted to say im 3 days post op and im 25, so im not too far into it but just wanted to tell you what i thought about it.... yes ill miss being able to eat anything i want but that few minutes of happiness compared to if this lapband works, i wont be afraid to go hang out in public, ill be able to go to any store and find somethin i like and that ill fit in. i can go to basketball games and not worry about if anyone next to me is gonna be pissed because i need the ROOM lol..... im ready to get rid of the sadness and i may be speaking too early because its only been 3 days but i can see the future of a Slim guy on his 26th birthday HAPPY to be 26 and not SAD im still alive and not seeing anything good coming from life........... sorry got on a ramble but thats what i had in my mind thinking of wether its worth it or not:thumbup:
