Hello, my name is Cara and I am five day post op from my lap band surgery. I had surgery Monday Nov 3. I'm still kinda sore, more so then I expected and getting to know my body is another factor. When I feel that tight feeling is that the restriction or gas? I'm just wondering what feelings should I be looking out for? I'm so afraid to eat to much or not enough and I'm trying to figure out when to stop. Right now I stop eating when I feel that tightness start coming on. Any suggestions or tips advice will be great!! LoL

Are you on liquids or mushies or solids?

I am on liquids still at 1 week post op. I tend to sip broths slowly and shakes... if I go to fast I feel pressure and wait a bit.

I would say when you feel tight just wait.... gas or restriction you should slow down and not be uncomfortable...

I would think the signals will get clearer as you go... patience!

I'm on full liquids for another week. Today went a little smoother

Yea stop when you feel pressure .. It's sort of different later on as you heal .. but your stomach has just been stitched, you can always have more later :-)
