Hey Banders . . . I am.post op Day4 & I just want to share a positive testimony on the LapBand. I was banded 8/29/13 & my experience has been Awesome! I have followed protocol to.the tee and has made Gas X and walking a must for at least a 1/2 hour a day, especially after drinking/eating . . . Have a great morning routine. I take my liquid vitamins, Mirilax stool softner,and antibiotics, all spaced out so that Im not all filled up with liquids, then I walk a bit to get it all going through allowing myself to burp and allow that full filling to subside. Then I go and get ready for the.day and by this time I am.ready to start a Protein Shake to.make sure I get that important protein in. But today for.lunch I wanted some soup and I used my Nutri Bullet to put in some homemade chicken.soup with all the fresh vegetables you can imagine and pureed the crap out of it and warmed it on the stove and maaann . . . It was Fabulous!! I thank God that my Nutri Bullet not only Helped me through my pre op diet but is now going to be used for the rest of my Lapband journey . . . Hope this has been a positive testament for someone!

I too have had a FANTASTIC experience so far, I am 3 weeks post op and loving every day more than the last!! I following the program to the tee also and I believe that is why I have had such a positive experience. My nutritionist advised me not to use a Nutri Bullet because it would put too much air in the whatever I'm mixing. Do what works for you, I imagine putting it in a pot and heating it would allow the air to work its way out. Good luck on your journey, in my 52 years, it is one of the best decisions I have EVER, EVER, EVER made.
