My surgery was at the end of March and my wedding was in June.. my dr said after 3 weeks was fine as long as i covered the the incision sites with a bandaid so the scars wouldnt get darker...

I was banded 3/27 and I have the Mirena .. had it 3 yrs no period... then 4/24 i got a heavy period that lasted for over 2 weeks.. I was like .. really??? course its the same date as my wedding next month in june.. so I'm hoping it was just a one time thing.. if it happens again this month.. im gonna talk to my Gyn dr. My lapband dr told me that with hormones and drop of weight.. 47 pounds for me.. kinda triggered something.. lol i guess we will see this month... good luck to everyone

I have the same problem.. it only asks for email addresses not user names.... I can't freind anyone.. so.. can you guys add me... username is wildolphins811.. thanks so much

Just joined myfitnesspal... could some one invite me.. it looks easy to use.. lol wildolphins811.

it has to be and it was my first and i usually have the same amount.. must of been to much of something earlier..lol.. but it def is a painful reminder..

Ok.. I got banded on 3/27 and I've seen posting about how people when they get to thier full feeling that they have shoulder and back pain.. and for the life of me i couldn't understand the shoulder pain and how that is connected to when you get full... well tonight i must of over done it a bit because guess what i have some definite pain in my left shoulder about 15 min after i had my creamed soup.. how is that connected..lol

I think if I can do this.. and i loooooove my food and breads.. then anyone can do this.. and so can you.. just keep thinking how you will look and feel after you lose the weight.. i dont have any more back or feet pain.. and im happy with that alone right now... just do one day at a time.. itll get better

Hi.. I am no where wanting to try breads.. I've heard nothing but bad things about people with breads.. but i was wondering if it is all breads or just the soft doughy like.. or is the harder baked breads ok.. some people are eating english muffins that I know with no problems and others can't??

It does seem every one is dif.. i was banded on March 27 started pre op diet march 17 and could only have 2 protien shakes a day and nothing but clear liquids.. like jello and broth and suger free pops.. decaffinated teas.. that was it.. it was very tough.. but its been so far so good for me now.. now im on thicker liquids like puddings and cream sopups and a lil bit of scrambled eggs.. each day gets a lil better and since i started this im down 47 pounds.. u can do this!!

Def seems like a lil bit of everything.. alot to take in.. if and whenever I decide to take that challenge.. thank you guys.. this site really helps alot

I guess.. it depends on the person from what i have seen..I know scary to try..and Sagetracy.. that woould probably be .. id judt forget.. lol breads were my favorite.. but yet evil friend...lol

I just had my lapband surgery on March 27, I started with my weight at 316, I am st 281 now. It has been 2 weeks and the doctor has told me it was ok for puddings and creamed soups and of course still clears and protien shakes. Today, I had a few bites of creamy mashed potaotes ( no chunks) lol and a few bites of winter squash which was like a puree consitency. I'm hoping that was ok. Also I still have a bit of tenderness where my port is, especially when I try to sleep on my right side.. used to be a stomach sleeper. How long before the tenderness goes away to be able to sleep comfortably again? I was also wondering since I have not had a fill yet.. but I'm guessing my full signal is like I have a little golf ball stuck in my stomach.. i def don't want to over do and ruin the band.. is that anormal feeling? Other that that I have no real issues and go back to my dr April 25th. My first few days after surgery were tough, didnt want to move and scared to drink or eat anything.. but i'm over it.. Just can't wait to introduce fish or chicken...lol.

Thank you.. I won't say some days are tougher than others.. but I do have a goal for motivation as well.. I'm soo glad I did the lapband, I was very unsure in the beginging but have a couplek freinds that had it done.. and they helped alot with my decision.. for everyone this is def a new journey in one way or another..

I am on day 12 of post op.. the dr already gave me ok to eat puddings.. creamed soups adn scrambled eggs.. even though its not a full egg.. the potatoes were more of a creamy consitency adn the squash was like a puree.. only a couple bites of each.. i was just curious because ive seen people eating bean burritos 2 weeks after and one who is eating whole grain chips.. i will wait ti:0l my dr says its ok for these.. thank you all for the info and advice.. this site will be a lot of help.

Hello, I was planned for April 3rd 2012, but due to "paperwork issues" my surgery was moved up to March 27th.. i was called unexpectedly on march 17th and instructed to start clears right then.. soo I couldnt even get my last Horaah for my favorite foods. Needless to say I weighed in at 316 when I started the pathways in october of 2011 and now after surgery i'm down to 280.... i feel so much better and have no back or aching feet pain... Im so glad it was moved plus I'm also getting married this June.. so I am even happier about it being done sooner..
