Hi all,

I am new to the forum. I am 9 days out from lap band surgery. I was banded in Tijuana by Dr. Ortiz. I'm still on liquids...start full liquids tomorrow. I have been following my post-op instructions carefully but it's killing me to fix my kids food and not eat, lol. My highest weight was 289 and my surgery weight was 213. I haven't weighed since the surgery but I feel lighter, lol:thumbup:

I find so many of the posts here an inspiration to me!!

Hi Sylvia, and welcome to LBT. We are glad to have you join us and look forward to getting to know you better.

Welcome! I know what you mean about the torment that comes with fixing food that you can't eat. I also had to deal with lots of well meaning people offering me food when they forgot I was on liquids. Thankfully today my doctor gave me the go ahead to eat solids, I am 8 days out of surgery so I was suprised but happy! I agree that these posts can be inspirational! It is great to read about what everyone else is going through and how they overcome obstacles!

I am new too. Just got banded 5 days ago. I am still hurting and I am still on liquids. I go back and see my doctor on Monday the 17th. I am still having pain from the gas, can't seem to get rid of it. Anyone have any suggestions?
