Hello Alll ! My name is Melissa , I ive on Orange County NY,i just had my band put in on 3-23-2011 ! I am on day 11 of my journey !! So far so good !! I am on Just 3 protien shakes untill 4/15 . I cant wait for the "mushies" to start. I look forward to tips and advice when i get there. My surgeon has very strict rules so im a little jealous of the posts i see of others thatare where i am and get to eat broth, but i will stick to my rules ! I am back to work and feel pretty good. The first days i had a little pain getting up and down, but now i dont really feel to much pulling. sleeping is ok too, I am now sleeping on my side. I was filled with 6cc when I was banded so I wont really know to much about my food untill i go to the next phase of my journey ! Its nice to meet you all !! if anybody has any questions feel free to email me !

GREAT JOB !!! I just had my Lapband put in on 3-23-11 !! i feel the same as you so far, i have lost 12 pounds and i fell that i can def do this !!! Im not hungry and the Band seems to be doing its job !! but i am just on 3 protien shakes a day , so things can change,,but so far so good !!! My surgeon put 6cc in at time of surgery so I wont really know till after 4/15/11 when i start the next phases of my diet. SELF CONTROL is a hudge help !!

I feel the same about it being wasy so far, I ws banded on 3-23-11 and am on my way to great recovery !! So far I started at 267 and i am at 255 as of today so thats good. I am on 3 protien shakes a day only and trully feel full after them, i stretch them out every 4-5 hours cuz i am not hungry. My Surgeon filled me up with 6 cc on surgery date so im sure it will be a bit till i know if i need a fiil or not. Cant wait to start eating some mushie food !!! Im not too hungry even though i feel my tummy rumble. Not much pain, sleeping ok, and i get stronger and stronger everyday ! Good luck to all, and i am too also glad to see some positive posts. Af first i was a little scared reading some of the stories, i felt like i was waiting for the bad to happen, but i have a gret surgon and TRI STATE BARIACTRICS IS GREAT !!!!!

Hello all ! I just had my surgery on 3/23 !! My surgeon has me on water, crystal light, and sf ice pops !! 1 oz every 20 minutes. Up till today that has been enough, but today i am hungry !! i get to start protien shakes tomorrow so today is def the hardest day so far !! plus im pmsing so that makes me hungry too !!!. So far i feel great. My bad was filled at surgery to 6cc i think he said. Im drinking now faster, and a little more then i was told and still feel ok, I notice my tummy making strange noises. The day of surgery i swear it was growling when i left the Hospital ?? But so far so good, no nausa, vomiting, regerg, or pain, !! ANybody else banded on 3/23?
