ok I am kinda bummed out right now...I had surgery on 3-22 and I havent gotten my first fill...Dr is not going to see me till the 5-20th...I feel like I am gaining weight! I wont weigh myself because I am afraid of what I will see. Did anyone go threw this in the begining? I am able to eat anything except red meat! what should I do??? Please help

how long did you have to wait for fill?

Well I just got the lap band put in on the 22nd of March. I am just wanting to know what everyone went threw the first few days and weeks...I am excited about this but wondering whats next? I am still really sore from surgery and I am sticking to what I am suppose to be eating which is stage 2. But yesterday and today it seems I am burping alot and feeling that hungar feeling. I usually get my protient shake in fear of over eating and feeling sick. Can I just get some feed back from everyone. I am excited about this site and hopefully can relate to most of you. Thank you Sallie )

On March 22, 2011 I began my new life with my lap band!!! yay finally! Here is what I have gone threw in the past 5 days. The day I got home I was totally out of it but I did manage to eat my soup 1/4 cup 3 times that day and slept alot. The next day I was feeling really good and even went to the book store to get some books, my hubby drove! lol I thought wow this is not as bad as I thought, although a little dizzy if I stood to long. When I had my galbladder removed it took me forever to recover. 3 day I began to eat cream of wheat of wheat 1/4 cup and plain yogurt not quite 1/4 cup felt full, then at 1230 the same but I began to feel light headed and not sure what was going on. I did take calcium and vitamin D liquid that morning. My husband took me for a short drive and I was just not feeling it so I decided to take a shower. I told my little girl to stay close by because I was just not feeling right. I was in the shower and it felt so good and then I felt like everything was getting dark and really light headed. I yelled for my little girl. I couldnt stand so I layed on the bed and had her turn the fan on. I tried to stand and well not happening. I just layed there and let it pass and prayed I would not pass out. By the time my husband got home with my son it has passed. I went back to sticking with broths and no liquid vitamins just my flinstones with iron. 4th day (friday) Husband decided he needed to stay home with me just incase. He wanted me to go for a ride with him to get me out of the house. So I went and I felt really good just not all there. I ate some soup and yogurt in the am and sipped on protein shake all day and water. 5thday (Sat) I ate the same stuff but felt hungrier. My husband said it was a good thing because that means I am healing. But I felt like eating whatever BUT I didnt! I just had protien shakes and jello. I went to mass that day and while kneeling I began to feel dizzy so I sat down. Today is 5th day (Sun) and I am feeling a little more like me now! YAY!!! I got on the scare and I am at 247.2 day of surgery I was at 258. I have had lots of gas and been burping a lot...Can anyone tell me why I am burping a alot what can I do to prevent it? Also I cant sleep good since I am used to sleeping on my tummy. I know in time things will pass and I will be back to living a normal life well except for over eating. I am going to keep a daily diary on here because I want to help people that do it and have questions. Please add me as your friend and begin a new life with me.

how do I get a ticker bar

what do you guys mean by "slimming"

Good luck and I am sure you are excited. I had my surgery on the 22 and so far so good...I started a blog that I will keep daily including my food intake since it is very important. I went in at 630am and by 1230pm I was home. So I didnt stay over night. I did buy everything the night before to take the stress off a little. By the time I got home I was tired so I showered and went to bed. Before you know it I was on my way in. I have tones of broths, jello, popsicles, EAS protient shakes but atkins are better...just didnt have any when I went. you can add me as a friend and we can help eachother if youd like

I cant wait till I am at that stage of my life....I am just begining but so excited!!! Congrats
