I can't believe a week ago I just had my lap band surgery. Time has gone by so fast. We don't have a scale in the house so I won't know how much weight i've lost since my surgery date. I've been busy and walk a lot. Today was the first day I went back to the gym and walked 2 and half miles

So you had the laproscopic band surgery and not Gastric bypass?

Today I weigh in and have most 20 pounds.....in 3 weeks today.....I can't believe it.......it really had been a hard adjustment for me....but I can't believe it....but then I think I don't want hardly nothing......

I have a question I am 3 weeks out and when I eat or drink anything it hurts my stomach does everybody feel that way. I thought it was normal I just wanted to check I feel like I'm going to throw up a lot but I don't eat hardly anything. Plus I have a hard time getting my liquids in. I really try to drink but it doesn't feel good so I don't drink as much as I should. Any thoughts

2oz at a time. Also warm liquid may help. I found I became lactose intolerant.. I still get sick when I drink more then 2oz. I have to wait for about 5 mins and drink more the said it should take you 1 hr to drink 8oz. Hope this helps.

OK... Having a hard time today! Hubby went back to work this morning. These walls feel like they are closing in on me! Having a hard time getting my meds in!

I conquer today and the last couple days have sucked for me I'm tired unmotivated to do anything and have a HA non stop, hoping like I don't feel like this forever.

I feel similar especially when I drink in the manner I used to ie taking a big sip or gulp. Also I used to love chewing ice and drinking very cold Water. Now I tolerate warm MUCH better, and I really must sip small amounts at a time.

We must be very careful not to get dehydrated I saw on the boards that someone used a tiny medicine cup to sip with so she could see how much she was taking with each sip. Maybe that would help you.
