We have the same band date, and YES!!! I feel almost no restriction, and am losing slowly. I hope I can get a fill soon.

I too was banded on 5/6 and am getting hungry. I am still on full liquids until 5/27, then pureed foods for 2 weeks. My first fill is scheduled for June 27. I hope I don't gain back what I lost by then. Even on liquids I have stopped loosing. :rolleyes2: Hang in there!!!

Hi all,

I am fairly new to this website and have enjoyed reading everyone's posts and experiences with the lap-band. I am from Waco, Tx. Not quite 40, but will be 40 in July, so I didn't think I really fit in the 30's group. I am actually looking forward to the 40's because they are the beginning of the REAL me.

What I mean is, I have lived my life for everyone else but me and now it is my time to be selfish and put myself first. Not everyone is on my side in regards to having the lap-band surgery, but I am thankful to have found this site for the support.

I will be banded on May 30th in Plano, Tx. I am so excited and can't wait. I went for my first appt this past Tuesday and since I am self-pay, was able to get my surgery right away.

I started liquids yesterday and I am starving. I feel like what I imagine someone going through withdrawals feeling. I guess I am withdrawing from my former unhealthy life. I am sure it will be well worth it. But for now, I have a killer headache. Any suggestions? Need help fast.

What kind of shakes are you doing?... Make sure they have a good amount of protein... and drink drink drink water....This will help with the headaches... Sometime a little broth will help too... If all else fails... Tylenol

it's amazing how different the post op diets are. I was on full liquids week one, mushies week 2 and started regular food week 3. I seem to tolerate everything fine, but wish I was back to that no hungry feeling from week 1! I've lost 20 lbs including the pre-op Atkins diet but didn't lose anything this week since I started back on regular food. I am looking forward to getting my first on Tuesday afternoon!!! Although I am a little scared too. When do you go for your first fill?

Gralda, I am just like you! My post op diet was exactly the same, and I have not lost since starting on solids, even though I am eating significantly less than pre-Band. I went to my 2 week follow-up today, and I am healing well. BUt I can't get a fill untilJuly. I hope that when I can start exercising more, the weight will come off, even slowly...

But I do feel great!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
