Banded July 15th, so far so good but I am pretty much able to eat just about anything I want???? I do not feel any restriction at all??? My first fill is Aug 15th, maybe it will be different then??? I am definitely watching what I eat, eating smaller portions and only eating 3meals per day with no "Grazing" I have lost 8 lbs since my actualy surgery day and to date since July 1st when I started my pre surgery diet I am down 15 lbs. Can anyone else pretty much eat what they choose??? I honestly don't feel like I have even had surgery??? HELP

Hi there, I was banded on July 12th, I go in tomorrow to get staples out. I feel like you do, I don't feel restricted. Although I eat small amounts and make sure to get my protein in. I think after we get a fill it will be different. Plus, I don't feel like I'm starving, and I eat very small amounts. I lost 15 lbs. in 10 days!!!!! That has made me so happy! Good luck.

Thanks Lori, I hope this journey we have all begun will lead me into the best health of my life. Good luck to you and keep me posted.

I just got banded on the 29th! Yesterday! Im so stoked.

I was banded on july 15. what do u mean u can easy anything u want? Are u eating solids? U should just be getting off full liquids and moving to pureed foods. Did your doctor not educate u that until your first fill you are healing and thats why u eat liquids... I have lost 21 pounds since my surgery.... I have followed my diet and I have

restriction... U might not have restriction because u have already stretched your pouch out. If ur dr did not give u guidelines, I suggest u go to lapband.com and follow theirs. The band is a lifetime commitment to change your relationship with food. U have to make the commitment and use the band as a tool for the journey.
