i have finally gotten my surgury, i finally have a lapband. i am 6 days post op, i have my operation on march 14, went in to the hospital around 331 pounds and I am already sitting at 316 pounds. I am very excited to see how this all plays out. and how quickly i lose the weight. my goal is 120 pounds off. I am about to finish up with the first week of all liquids and move on to purrese and well chewed foods. It is very new to me to not be hungery at all. most of the time. I can say that i still miss chinese food and chocolate at the moment but i cant say no to most of it. and find that i am savoring the smallest bits of food.

I am very excited about this change in my life, and very much looking forward to seeing a new person when i look in the mirror.

I am wondering if i will need to fill the band at all cause right now im not feeling hungry at all.

I am very excited.

any my recovery time seem short, i was back up and walking in a day or two and feeling better every time i wake up. didnt touch the pain meds they gave me.

everything went with out a hitch at the hospital.

Like i said just very very excited to feel comfortable in my own body.

Happy to hear things are going well. I hope you continue to have smooth sailing.

Congratulations on being on the banded side!

It is exciting to think about our life changing for the better.

I've already cleaned out my closets 4-5 times already.

The whole experience is a learning experience. Good luck on your journey!

Your stomach is still swolen and may be or another week to 10 days so you're feeling some restriction now. But it may not last. Cross your fingers you evade Bandster hell?
