WOW! Thank you all for the great responses!!!!!! Today was my first follow up appointment! Everything is going well. I am down 11 pounds which I am pretty thrilled about. They cleared me to move to milky liquids... I asked if I could do potato soup and they said yes as long as the potatoes were small and VERY cooked. I went to a restaurant here in town and got some soup. I ate it and holy moly it was delicious. It's amazing how your view of good goes from like a Mcdonalds number 2 to a bowl of soup, lol! My tummy is thanking me right now! It all went down well so I guess I am good! So far, I havent had any problems. I have had some issues with gas and diahrhea (I never can spell that right). But I guess liquids in liquids out. Gross I know! But It has been pretty freakin painful at times. I have been walking to see if it helps but the gas seems to be worse at night when I lay down. I started a video blog on youtube that I am super excited about!!!! I would post a link to it but im not sure if you are allowed to do that here? Are we? I want to follow my progress and see how much I change! Thank you guys for the awesome responses. This site rocks!

Hello all! I had my surgery on october 28! It has been 4 days and I'm really hungry! My post op diet is the first week clear liquids, second milky liquids, third mushy foods and fourth solid foods. I'm having a hard time!!! Liquids are going down great but I'm hungry. All I want is something with substance like potato soup or broccoli soup! This broth and jello are getting gross lol. Although, I have already lost ten pounds! What were your diets like? I feel ready to move to the next stage. I am going to see my doc tomorrow so I am praying he feels the same. If so I am running to get some freaking creamy soup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I have cigna!

Well... Here I am it is finally happening! I have struggled with my weight my entire life so being able to get the lab band is amazing. Believe it or not, I actually won the Lap band surgery.... Yes I said won! There was a walk from obesity in my city and a local surgeon was giving away a free lap band surgery.... And I won!!!! The prize also covers the first year of appointments as well. I cried all day long and I still think it is all a dream! I feel so incredibly blessed because my insurance would not cover the surgery. I know that God opened this door for me and I am so excited for what is to come in my future. I am going for my consultation next week! Excited and nervous all at the same time!!!
