Just banded!

Hello All!

I just got my Lap Band done on 12/17. I have to say I think I'm healing rather well. I even ventured to the grocery store today. Let me tell ya how much that stinks! Being surrounded by all the wonderful "non-liquid" foods. I've done well with the protein shakes and soup but I'm getting burned out kind of quickly. There are only so many sugar free ice pops and Jello One can have. I'd love to hear from anyone who'd like to offer advice or even just a friendly chat. Pleasant evening!

Had my lap band done on Dec 3rd, now almost 3 weeks! After my 2 week checkup I was told I could try to eat anything but steak, nuts and raw veggies. Just stick to the 2 week diet and you will be fine. I lost 43 lbs already but I now am feeling like I can eat to much. Cant wait for my fill!

Good luck -

Today is my 4 week anniversary and I've added cottage cheese, eggs and oatmeal into the soup and shake diet -

Seeing my doc on 1/2 so I'm hoping we can discuss the first fill as I feel no restriction at all - what's up with that? so much bad information - I was told by everyone, doctors included that I wouldn't be able to eat more than a few bites and I'd be full - what a load that is? - I mean I am eating less portion wise but I know it could get out of control if I let it - lost 25 lbs but loss is coming slower now -
