I just got my lap band yesterday !!!! So excited to start my new beginning !!! I'm trying to drink liquids right now so I'm kind of scared .... How did everyone feel taking this first step first liquid meal!!????

Congratulations!! It's hard in the beginning, the swelling makes it hard to drink, but you need to! Just take small sips, move as much as you can, rest when you have to and remember your doctors office is just a phone call away. Best Wishes!

I ditto what Karen says....Good luck ....happy for you !!!

I drank hot tea or sometimes just the hot water tummy likes to be warmed up. heating pads is a life saver and take stool softners get things moving on the inside. rest, rest rest

I just got banded this morning so I'm in the same boat! Drinking chicken broth and lots of water! I feel really good too!

My full was taken out. I was too swollen from surgery it was pretty impossible to get any fluids in me

Ya I don't did myself wanting to drink anything so I'm trying with water couple sips had some jello but so far that's it .
