Hi all ,

I went and had my 1st fill.It was weird, they couldnt find my port so they were poking around for awhile,Its not painful just a weird feeling like u can feel the liquid going through.

The doc said iam going really well and 8kilos is great 4 weeks post op.I have to be on liquids for 3days after fill then mushies for 3 and then normal.I was feeling quite queasy after the fill for a few hours but after then was as normal.

I also saw the dietitian and said just keep doing what im doing but i have to add more carbs into my diet. Also said dont be scare for having bread(not white doughy),cracker,rice and Pasta.Just 1/2cup at a time.Try it and if it doesnt go down try it again.All in all feeling pretty good but not liking the liquids for 3 days Iam so damn hungry!!!

Hope everyone is doing great and iam definitly feeling more positive about everything.

OH and i also got the all clear to start exercising just limit situps if it hurts.So im going to join my gym down the road and start working my bum off (literally)

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Im so glad i found this post, I was feeling like a failure as ive only lost 5kgs since surgery 30/8 and doing everything right but the scales still staying the same.I feel a lot better that this is normal now.

Luckily i have my 1st fill tomoro and dietitian as well hopefully that will help.

I am brides maid in 4 weeks and hoping to loose some more.

Good luck to everyone

Hi everyone,

Just checking in with everyone on their fantastic progress and how everyone is feeling?

Well im feeling great 8days post op,besides a bit on stomach pain.Im feeling less sluggish definitely alot more up and go.So far i have lost 8kilos(17.5lbs) and noticing the difference.

Look forward to seeing everyones progress:biggrin:

Sounds like everyone is going well.I also do a shopping trip yesterday as i felt good and im feeling it today.So So sore.Iam realising my weak point to food today.as ive been feeling pretty low today all i wanted to do is eat eat eat but i have settle myself by just keeping a drink in one hand and remembering why i wanted this and that its not going to be easy.

Has anyone else had these feeling too?And how have you dealt with them

Im mainly having Protein shakes and v8 juice with Soup for dinner.I supposed to be on liquids for 2 weeks but i feel like i could stomach mushies

Hi all,

Im 5 days post op and feeling great.I havent had any sickness and just taken it slowly with food. Even though im not too sure what to exactly do.I went shopping yesterday and definitely noticing the difference with myself as i could walk the whole shops with out huffing and puffing.My stomach is feeling better today and can sleep through the night.Overall im feeling great and keeping positive .It was tough yesterday though it was my 23rd birthday and the family came over with cake (no idea why).They were good just took alot of energy out of me and paying for it today.Legs are mighty sore.

How is everyone wlse doing on the post-op journey

Thanks Lacey:thumbup::biggrin:

Day two and I am doing great! I had my first semi solid food, pureed chicken breast mixed in Cream of chicken Soup. The funny thing is I looked at that 1/2 cup of soup and thought I cannot eat all of that! I did eat it all but I took 25 minutes and I feel full, not stuffed but full. I have walked several times outside and did great. I am still a bit gassy but that too is working its way out!!! My incisions are more sore today than yesterday but I expected that but Advil does the trick. So for all you future bandsters it can be a breeze.

Iam also day 2 ,today im feeling same as u are...haha but the gas is definitely coming out for a laugh.Just been sipping on v8 juice and brought some soup for dinner,Good luck .

Iam banded day 1 post op.feeling ok just like ive bn kicked in the stomach a few times.Im finding it hard to sleep though, any suggestions on that one?

Hi all,

Just got a call from hospital and they have moved my surgery up to the first in the morning.1 day to go now, getting excited and nervous

1 DAY TIL IM A BANDED

Hi,

I also have fibro and my Rheumatologist got me through to my lapband dr.Within 2 months i had a surgery date which is the 30th this month.My dr has also put in through on medicare in Australia all i had to pay was $1000.The dr's are hoping this will lessen my overall pain as im in pain basically everyday and taking every pain killer under the sun.Which is not good when i have 2 year old.

I wish u the best of luck and keep u informed if it helps me.

Good Luck:thumbup:

Hi everyone,

Its been hard getting support from my Mum and my hubby sabotages my weight loss efforts *unknowingly* all the time... :frown: but hope to find a few ppl on here to chat to and compare notes with.

Hi, Im in perth and to be banded on the 30th this month,Who is the dr u have ur appointment with.Mine is Dr Dolan, my 1st appointment was on the 3rd august and he sent me right thru.I was quite shocked i thought it would be at least a year wait on the public system but only 4 weeks.

Im sure ull do great good luck:thumbup:

I have my preop appt on Tuesday, then begins the 10 day liquid diet. So we're looking at a surgery date of 8/27. I am nervous and scared, but excited all at the same time! Anyone else looking at going around the same time as me? Are you all as nervous as I am? What are you all doing for your pre-op diet?

Yes im on the 30th ,very excited but also nervous, havent started pre-op diet yet but ill going to use Optifast and aussie one recommended by my doc.Good luck hope it all goes well:thumbup:
