Hi all! Just got my lap band Dec 6 2007. Was on liquid diet for first week now on fairly reg diet, ie meats, proteins, vegies and fruits. I am finding this adjustment odd. I know I must be over eating related to feeling food where I dont think it should be (my esophagus) Its an odd feeling of discomfort that wont go away for hours. Don't know if we all go thru this or what. Figure I'm in an adjustment period? Anyway, despite this and having had much pain I wasn't expecting after surgery, I'm doing ok.

I am new to I had my band put on Dec.10th Still on liquids I can't wait for a little food. I to felt more pain after surgery then they said I would also they said they found a Hernia while I was out and fixed it maby thats why I was in so much pain..

So when did you get food?

Wow, you are probably still a bit swollen from your surgery. It sounds almost like you are on a full diet already. Normally, this soon after surgery people are still only on liquids. I am thinking that may be why you are having some discomfort when eating. Have you discussed this with your doctor?

I started food on Fri 12-14-07. I can have some meats, vegies that are cooked and some fruits. Yes, the hernia repair may have cause you more pain. I had most of my pain around the port site. It still swells and is painful.
