This is going to be a fresh thread for all the band buddies that got banded July 2013

Hi all! I was banded this morning 7/26 and so far I'm feeling great! So thankful!

That is great good luck......and continue that positive attitude!

Has anyone gotten their first fill yet? If so, how bad was the pain? What did it feel like?

I have not had my fill yet but I have close friends who so its more of a strange feeling than a painful one! Like everything else depends on your body! I was banded on the 24th!

I'm getting banded tuesday July 30th a lil nervous but as well excited

Good luck ... You will do great!

Has anyone had any bread or crackers yet? I had scrambled egg beaters on a piece of toast and felt over full. I don't think I will be able to do much bread anymore. I had a few triscuits and they were ok.

I had my lap band surgery done on 7/25 my problems is I'M still hungry while on the liquid diet...... can I start eating anything different now? Also still have nausea

Your dr should have given you a detailed list of stages , I was banded on July 19 and was just able to start purée today you should be allowed broth and other liquids though but it's best to check

Sounds like "sliming". From what I've read on here from ppl reporting similar things it is food or liquid backing back up your esophagus. This happens from eating/drinking too fast or possibly getting something stuck. Your body makes this slimy mucus to try and move the stuff thru the stoma. Might be worth calling your doc it you are concerned/if it continues even if your eating and drinking is at a glacial pace. Hope u feel better soon!

thanks i have my first appointment tomorrow so i will definatly talk to him about it

Banded on 7/19 and woke up this morning with my first appetite :/ I liked it much better before this lol. Had to pull out my timer to watch how fast I was eating and pre -measured food so I didn't accidentally mess up but missing the feeling is not wanting food lol

I was banded on the 25th and the gas pains have pretty much subsided and I'm still pretty sore around the incision sites, but now I'm dealing with EXTREME hunger pains! All these liquid protein drinks are starting to make me more nauseous with every sip! I'm so tempted to eat some pudding or thin mashed potatoes. Help! Did anyone else have this problem?!

Yes, I had this problem also. Try creamier soups and tomato soup. They are a little thicker and will keep you full longer. Hang in there, the mushies are coming!
