Hello to all on this great forum I have just discovered. It is 6 days post operation and im off to a flying start. I started at 123 kg pre op and have weighed in today at 107.9kg. Im thrilled with the results so far but am getting nervous as week two is starting to introduce mushy food and am worried what i should and shouldnt eat! My band hasnt been filled yet so my appetite is slowly reappearing! Any advice from my fellow lap bandees??? I had a fabulous doctor and have had minimum issues with gas, shoulder pain and general issues that come with surgery. I just purchased a book what to eat after weight loss surgery but in the mean time i would love to hear what other have done re diet. Thanks in Advance

I would love to know how everyone is doing? I was banded on April 22nd 2012 and to date have lost 26kg in 12 weeks from pre op fast till today. I feel fantastic and am nearly half way to my goal weight. I have 4.75ml in so far.

Hi, Just wanting to know how your going and how your feeling as we both were banded on the same day how did you go with fill?

What fabulous information. i am new to lapband forum and just had first fill on 15 may 2012. I am not sure about the journey ahead but thank you for the wisdom your passing on so eloquently. I will be reverting to this post frequently. Many thanks again from Australia

Im post surgery and waiting for my first fill and im starving. Im worried that i will put on wright as my appetite has increased! Would like to know what to expect at my first fill also

I am also feeling hungry have brought lots of cup a soups and am having Greek Style yoghurt really yummy i must say. Im from melbourne and see my surgeon on Wednesday to get my bandages removed. Very happy so far good luck with going back to work im a stay at home mum but would find it hard to sit at a desk as my tummy is bruised and still a little tender. Good luck with everything and im sure we will catch up on here again.

Hi JessRess, Thanks for saying Hi. How are you feeling being Day 6? I hear this is the hardest part of the journey. My back is aching a little and feel a little winded but apart from that im feeling great. Also just brought a great multi for women and some probiotics for the tummy seeing i will be lacking nutrients over the coming weeks!

Eating well after weight loss surgery by Patt levine. There seems to be alot of positive feedback regarding receipe book over 140 receipes if my memory serves me correct. All the very best with your surgery I have 4 friends that have done lapband and 1 year down the track they ALL look amazing.
