Hello fellow lap-band recipents. I am just about two weeks post op and having some major anxiety issues. I am having no trouble eating, there is little to no restricton, I am not quite sure what being "full" feels like with the band, have a rotten scale at home and don't know or can't accuratley judge if I am losing any weight...the list goes on and on. I found a lap-band support group, but the next meeting is in two weeks. Additionally, my surgeon prescribed a very conservative, regimented post-op diet, which conflicts with what another surgeon and dietician have discussed with me...help.

Congrats on your surgery! You're in what we like to call "Bandster Hell" right now. Where you can eat pretty much anything and it's not time for your first fill.

As far as what you can or should eat, I'd recommend doing what YOUR surgeon has told you to do. You picked him because you trust him, so follow his orders.

When do you get your first fill?
