Hello Everyone --I've been stalking the lapband chat rooms for a few months now, and may I say this is an amazing resource. You have helped me in many ways (actually with every question I had) and for that I thank you all !!! BUT now the time has come for me to join and reach out for some support and --well just a few hugs now and then !! I had lap band surgery on March 7th 2012 and had my first fill April 5th 2012 The first 4 days after surgery I stayed on the liquid --but then quickly moved to the mushy stage and withen a few days went into easy to eat foods I thought OH GOODY I'm recovering nicely I thought I never did get stuck or vomit problem is --- I can now eat everything, not as much as I used to granted but everything I want and then some I have learned I am also a boredom eater (yes knowledge is power I keep saying to myself ) Problem is --- I now wonder by eating solid food so fast did I blow it ?? I worry the liquid and mushy stage was not at all about being ABLE to eat ---but shrinking your tummy Did I stretch my Tummy out ?? (ok so I am not a medical person here and dont even know if this is possible ? ) ha ha Or am I just being to critical of myself ? ( which to be honest would not be so hard to assume --considering a low self esteem also needs some work here) I know this lap band is a journey ---from losing weight to seeing yourself differently, to working for your goal I guess I am just needing the reassurance that I didn't blow it already ? HUGS to all from the beautiful pacific northwest !!
