I just had my post op appointment over the phone. Based on how you are doing they decide if you need to come in or not. I am good to go. The nurse said one week from today I should be on a normal diet eating anything except raw veggies and doughy breads!! YES!!! I am only 9 days post op and am already eating so much and doing so well. Last night I had enchiladas. I pretty much just ate the filling and not the corn tortilla, but I did have a couple bites of it. The refried Beans were awesome! Granted, in total the amount of food I ate was probably 1/2- 1 cup of food, but still I felt normal and it wasn't pureed. I just chewed every bite really well. The chips and salsa were hard to pass up but I did it!!

The nurse also schedule my first 3 fills. The first being April 16th. Hooorraay!! The day after my birthday!! Lap Band life is GOOD!!! Thanks for letting me celebrate!

Congratulations! Glad it is going so well for you. I am so excited for my surgery I wish I could blink and get to next Tuesday!

wow... this is wonderful for 9 days post op. way to go. i hope im as good as you are .

I am considering myself really lucky with how things have gone. I can't wait for my first fill.

I am so glad you are excited and MOTIVATED! That's the most important thing of all.

Just be aware, you hve yet to go through BANDSTER HELL. A period where you are getting byour scheduled fills, butare not there yet, and you have to fight the hunger on your own using willpower and self determination jast as you have in the past before the surgery.

But be assured, you will get through it and your life will be changed!
