Hello, i had my lapband surgery on 1/28/12 go for my first fill on 3/13/12. I have lost almost 28 lbs since one week before surgery. I must say I am still hungry. I try not to overeat and have not gotten sick from eating too much or eating without chewing 25 to 30 times lol. i was wondering if when one gets filled the hunger subsides? i realize that self control is still needed even with the lapband. I come here to read everyones experiences and have to say it has helped me alot. Any comments or suggestions are truly welcomed. thank you
Good afternoon all, Well friday I will finally be done with the 3 weeks worth of liquids my surgeon had me on since surgery. When i last saw him he had said I did not have to go to mushies straight to food but to be chewed extremely well. I am a little nervous since it has been 3 weeks since I have eaten anything. My plan is to start with soft foods and to take my time. It has been very hard with the liquids I feel hungry and at times even queezy stomach feels empty. lol Hope to come back here and tell everyone I am doing just fine.
On tuesday I had my 1st visit to the surgeon since my lapband surgery on 1/28/12 all looked good down 20 lbs still dealing with a little hunger another week of liquids. Im trying to get in lots of fluids though at times its a bit hard. He told me my first fill will be on March 13th nervous and excited at the same time. I am curious to see how I feel and what I am able to eat after I am finished with my liquids. My doctor said I can go to eating fool just to chew it very well. It seems so long ago I had anything of substance. lol. I hope to be able to tolerate alot of the foods I have eaten in the past (just much smaller portions) we shall see. Will keep you all posted. One more thing since banded I look at each day as a special day, a happy day and finally putting myself first. I am a work in progress and I know all of this will be SO WORTH IT . Enjoy your day.
Hi everyone had my surgery on Saturday and I'm still experiencing some soreness each day it gets just a little and I do mean a lil better. I'm wondering if anyone can give me some advice. I am having a hard time with the protein shakes.I want to start feeling like myself soon.I see my surgeon next Thursday hoping ht then I am feeling a lot better. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated
WELL SATURDAY WILL BE THE START OF A NEW BEGINNING IN MY LIFE. FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS I HAVE HAD SUCH AN UPLIFTING FEELING LOTS OF ENERGY (EVEN GETTING TO WORK IF NOT ON TIME SOMETIMES EARLIER LOL) THIS FEELING IS GREAT. I HAVE LOST 10 LBS FOR FAR. I AM A TYPE 2 DIABETIC AND MY NUMBERS HAVE BEEN GREAT THIS MORNING IT WAS 96. IT PROVES THAT WATCHING AND CUTTING OUT CARBS REALLY HAS AN IMPACT ON SUGAR. I DONT MISS THOSE FOODS WHEN I SEE THE RESULTS OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I WATCH DIET. I FOUND A GOOD CLEAR LIQUID THAT WILL MAKE MY POST OP DIET NOT BE SO BAD. ITS CHINESE CHICKEN BROTH ( NO WONTONS OF COURSE) IT TASTES GOOD AND ON COLD DAYS IT JUST WARMS ME UP. LOOKING FORWARD TO STARTING MY ZUMBA VIDEO SOON. !!!!
