I was looking for everyone that their Lap band surgery in December. I had my surgery December 23, 2014. I just went back to work today. I am now able to eat more that just liquids . I have lost 32 pounds so far still have a ways to go. I feel great though and looking forward to the New Smaller me. I am looking for people to connect with.

I had my lapband on December 29, I'm in my puree stage of diet. I'm still in some pain, mostly where my port site is and I get tired pretty quickly. I have my post op visit on Monday, I may ask doc to give me one more week of rest before going back to work. So far about 20lbs down since pre-op diet

Hello I am back at work at now eating some foods. I did eat a little fast yesterday and made myself sick. I am doing pretty well. I have more energy.

I hope you feel better. Taking another week is a good idea. Just take your time. Everybody is different

Was your incision where your port is stay sore for awhile? I'm kinda concerned that it still hurts after a week...

Yeah mine was sore for a while. All of my incisions are sore still a little. Have you called your surgeon

No I have my post op appt on monday so I've been waiting until then, I'm not in an extreme pain and my surgeon is 3 hours away :/

Ok . Try to rest as much as possible. Did they give you any pain medication

Had the sleeve Dec 16

Had my surgery Dec 23rd on mushy food and had follow up appointment on Wednesday. Dr told I could have regular coffee that made my day and down 18 lbs. Go back in 3 weeks for fill, so excited. No pain at port sight now for 5 days

Sounds like you are doing good.

Feeling very anxious about my 1st fill and that's 3 weeks away

I was banded dec 19th. 1st fill jan 22th. How are u feeling. Are u still on liquids or pureed

I think my fill is that same week as well. I feel a lot better, I already feel quite a bit of restriction when I eat . I'm done wish mooshy food, just have to chew real good and slow it down before bites. Full after eating 3 pieces of soft chicken breast

Wow im still on liquids. My dr does 4wks post. Im so done with liquids. I just want to hit the pureed foods

to Mpeters do you feel restriction on the amount you can eat already? I deffinately can, I have to remember slow bites and smaller or feel sick real quick.

the liquid stage was rough, and just think we have to do it again on the day of our fill. Yummy lol
