Hello all. I got my lapband May 7th 2014. Today my directions say I can have some full liquids. So I have been sipping a Premier Protein shake for like an hour. I so afraid I'm gonna get choked up for some reason. I have not thrown up since the surgery. I know I don't have Fluid in my band yet. But I am trying to take it slow. I am determined to not have in negative episodes. How did you all do your first 3 days after surgery? My starting weight was 225. My weight on surgery date was 214. I am at 213 today.

Welcome to the site. I find this site to be very helpful. I was banded over 2 months ago and it sounds like you are off to a great start. Good Luck with everything and do not be afraid to ask questions. There are tons of people on this site that have great advise.

I had my band on February 17th. I had a lot of pain and nausea. But then I wasn't given good instructions about the pain medication, etc. either. Plus I went home the same day. I should have stayed overnight.

After the first three days I did just fine on liquids. I had Soup, Jello, popsicles. I didn't like the Protein shakes at all. Got kind of nauseated drinking them so I stopped. I don't like plain chicken broth so I used the Lipton Soup broth. So good...but a lot of salt.

You should do fine. I was a bit scared to eat... but after the liquid diet I wasn't too scared anymore. The soft foods are so much better. I was really really ready for them when the time came!!

I started mushies on week 3. The doctor should let you know when you can start that stage. I ate cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, pudding, apple sauce, low-fat cheese sticks and baked potatoes were my main foods. Please double check with your doctor first. Every doctor is different. Hopefully others have some ideas for you on soft foods.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
