Two weeks and a day out!

Hello Fellow Bandsters! I just thought I would post a quick update. I had my two week follow up yesterday. Dr. Brown said I had lost 21 pounds. I was shocked! He was really happy. He said because there is no fill - no restriction most people don't lose much until they get that first fill. He told me not to be upset if I gain a few pounds before my fill (2.5 weeks from now) and I told him that wasn't an option! I'll try any way. I am definitely hungry now a few hours after I eat and can eat anything but am avoiding all the things I know I won't be able to eat in the future - bread, pasta, and rice. I'm a vegetarian and have been eating a lot of Indian (good thing I can cook it) so it is filled with protein and that is good. I am still having issues with loose stools (gross I know) but hopefully that will get better with time. I go back to the life of fighting crime on Monday and actually am excited to go back to work. I miss it! Pathetic I know!

I hope everyone else (especially the July folks) are doing well.

Peace and blessings,

Elizabeth

Congrats! I had my lapband put on July 28th. I go to see my doctor on Friday. I have a question though...is your doctor allowing you to eat anything 2 weeks out. I see people have so many different plans. And....I totally understand the "little" bathroom issue. That can be quite the inconvenience! Let me know about your diet 2 weeks out if you get the chance! Thanks! :)

Thank you everyone! I am happy that I'm finally feeling good and that it is working! You know we all have those little doubts . . . what if it doesn't work for me and I just spent thousands of dollars for nothing. You are all amazing and such a blessing in my life! Thank you again!

Dadkins8 - Kaiser (Dr. Brown) has you eat thick liquids for first 2 weeks and then progress to mushy foods for week three. I can send you more info from the booklet they gave us if you would like - just shoot me an email ladyeey@aol.com. Congratulations and best of luck!
