Hi Guys!

I am Day 12 post banding and feeling great and are 17.7lbs down already.

I only needed pain relief for two days after the surgery and have been feeling great, apart from from tiredness which is to be expected.

When we have banding here in Oz, we are on fluids only for two weeks, then two weeks of a soft diet of things like 1/2-1 weetbix, or 1 soft boiled egg, fish in white sauce, chicken for one of the three meals for the day. No soda's or sugars. After that we can slowly introduce normal foods but breads will no longer be an option or soda's.

What I would give my right arm for right now is some red meat! I love red meat and it has been hard not eating or craving it.

Take care fellow Bandit's! :tt1:

Hello from Houston, Tx!!!!

Just wanted to wish you the best of luck. I WAS a big red meat eater, but you'l b really surprised at how those cravings will start to fade quickly. My thing was Coke,I could never get enough. But after 2+ yrs ofbeing banded the desire to drink any carbonated drinks are gone.

But there is alot you will have to learn on your lap band journey,some great, some not so much. We all differ in the oddest ways.

Take care of yourself and NEVER stop asking for help or asking questions. :scared2:
