Hi Everyone,

I had my lap band placed on Dec 20, 2010. I feel like I am doing really well. I actually lost 24lbs with the pre and post op diets. I will get my first fill on Monday Jan 17. I am excited and scared!

I have had lots of silly questions up til this point and have been googling the answers but all the discussion I had found till today were sooo old. I was happy to find this site with current discussions.

Is it abnormal that I feel like I can eat anything without any problems at this point? Having said that, the quantity I eat is 1/3 of what I would normally eat. But I do not seem to have problems with any types of foods. Knock on wood, I have not had any nausea or vomitting...

Thanks!!

Hi Sig,

That's not abnormal at all! Almost every bandster seems to go through a period of time when they hardly feel any restriction. But it can often take several fills before you have a really good restriction. With each fill you'll have a little more restriction until you hit your sweet spot.
