I was just wondering if anyone had the same experience. I was banded on May 6 and I went back to work 1 week later. I followed my doctors post op instructions and everything is fine. However I have been able to eat anything I want and it stays down. I am eating healthy foods like turkey burgers without bread. I just eat the meat and cut it ti bite size pieces. I am able to eat chicken breast, turkey franks and beans and rice. I don't feel any different. I can eat a whole serving before I get full. Lucky for me I am motivated so I am using portion control and I don't snack. I am able to walk a mile everyday within 30 minutes. I feel great!!!!! I read all the pain everyone is going through and not being able to eat anything and I am thinking is my life suppose to be this good three weeks post op?:confused2:

Anyway I get my first fill on July 13. Hopefully I will see and feel a difference.

I sure will! Good luck to you with everything!

I feel so much better reading this blog. I am 1 wk post band and started to think they didnt put the band in. Im on soft foods and toast this morning. Really no probs. Eating small portions.

I'm glad to read this to. I was banded 5/5. When I first started on mushies, I could only eat a small amount. Now it seems like I could eat an endless supply of mushies! I wish my fill was sooner, but my doctor won't do one before 7 weeks because insurance won't pay for anything within 6 weeks of surgery.
