Hi, Im two months post op and can't stop over eating...i also have not had a fill yet...today after calculating my intake i came up eating 1400 cal. Just to get in my nutrition in. its a pain because i don't get sick eating and drinking that many cals...i shouldn't be eating max cal of 1200... on the other hand i did drop 30+ lbs..since October...any ideas

1/2 cup total per meal or day

I was good during thanksgiving, however eating to much junk this xmas. Didn't think about how much i ate...this is why important overweight not making good choices..hopefully i can do better now the good food holidays are over.

I have been banded in October, and i have lost 33lbs so far. i wonder if anyone out their can eat without restriction too. i have a hard time restricting how much i should eat this holiday.

Gas pain is not fun...try gasx it worked for me

I was banded on Oct 25 and down around 30lbs. im glad to here that's what others are doing...i wasn't sure if i was on track now that important eating more ...no real exercise routine yet...still going w the flow on this one...should i need my first fill now?

Should i not eat the morning of my first fill? nervous about whats going to happen

I have a problem i don't have any eating issues...meaning i could eat anything...small bits of pizza or cookies and i even had thanksgiving pies...the only good thing is that im still losing some weight ...but fear this could be bad in the future...do i need my first fill?

Last night i ate to much and fast...boy did i feel it...im still learning how to eat small...

I had my lapband done a week ago....im still here ...lol...the only thing that will kill you is the fact of weeks of no eating good food...jello is not pizza ...im sick of it...

Don't give up...try eating healthier choices of what you like. many websites have thin down recipes without losing taste.

The post op liquid diet is hard...oz instead of a glasses is a cold reality for me..i did expect a oz was hard to drink.

I found ice and using that breathing tool help a little.gas is no fun and im only day two postop...does the pain gets worst than what happened after surgery

Just got band...pain not too bad..note to all just walk a lot....it helps with gas pain

Today i took a chance to make a big change in my life..

Im down 10lbs on my preop diet...two days left and im very nervous to do it

Hi. my doctor allows shakes and 1/2 cup of veg and 4 oz lean meat....but i too feel like im hungry ....snacks ostensibly 1/2cup cottage cheese. im on day three preop and i couldn't help myself and ate a chocolate cookie...like you said its hard to smell and watch others eat pizza and your stuck eating this..but this is why we need this band to stop cheating alittle and eat right...

Well im day 3 of my preop diet and i feel bad for cheating alittle bit. i had a chocolate cookie this morning..i didn't think and just ate it...i hope i don't blow it ...its hard to eat only 600 to 800 cal per day

Good luck...we are all on the same page...be healthier and enjoy what we have...life left...years to enjoy with loved ones...

Has anyone tried ensure clear nutritional drink? i like it....9proteins and fat free + 21vits and min ...tasted like peach

Today is my first day on preop ....im praying I'll make it for two weeks...liq drinks are not my favor thing and they are very expensive too.

Getting banded on October 25....very nervously waiting for it.

I too had the same feelings ...i was so conflicted that i even went to a therapy. that was the best thing because now i know this is the right choice. look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself this question. Do i want lapband? Don't think just say what's in your heart. if you answer yes without thinking than do it.

Your not alone...that was my dad a few weeks ago...i had to listen about it over and over until i even went as far as cancelling my date and postpone it until Oct. Well listen to me...do what you want and don't try to please everyone else. i now have a date and my dad will not know about until its over. and yes there could be med issues but what issues it could give isn't as bad as being fat. important either going to die trying this or slowly die being fat...ill take my chances with the small percent of those being killed from lapband...think of this....if something goes wrong they can take it out...compared to basic bypass...

Sugar. Free jello and ice pops...crystal light drinks too ...sugar free
