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!!!

Another Amy banded on May 19th.

I was banded on May 7th. I'm still a little sore but I get better everyday. I havn't been real hungry yet. I'm still on slim fast and soups. I can start adding musshies now. I've lost 14 pounds and hope it just keeps going and going.:cool2:

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

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. :cursing: Hang in there!!!

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 leave tomorrow to San Diego and will go to Mexico Monday morning for pre op testing... then Tuesday is the big day!!!! I am nervous as heck, but know all will be just fine and over before I know it. I won't be checking until June 1st.... so I won't be reading any posts until then, but can't wait to catch up!!!
