I love this website, so many people I can relate to & it feels I'm not alone. Everyone's body is different so we are all going down different roads but I will meet you all on the skinny side :-)

Hello Ms. Bee Congrats on getting your lapband. I do understand its important not to eat solid foods... I haven't had a meal, I actually do have Isopure meal replacement.. I drink water, my shakes & have myself oatmeal.. Oatmeal is very soft & gentle to my stomach but doesn't really fill me up.. I'm still hungry after my bowl of oatmeal.. I do want to eat foods but so far I'm doing pretty well... I think I may drink water too fast? I feel a bit of air in my stomach & sometimes need to make myself burp... But it usually goes away... Is that normal?

Floridays, Can you send me a before & after photos if yourself. My email is Cpvillacis@gmail.com

Kiki, I went to those Herbal Life consults & everything from the pills, powder & the rest would of cost me $200.00 for 2wks. I have Isopure & that only cost me $60.00 I personally want to try Nutrisystem.

Hello again Summerrain, Yes I've had chicken broth... I just wish I can have more vegetables added to it wish I shouldn't have at the moment... But you are right, it is very hard at the moment & I hope it will get better with time. I have faith in myself not to completely give in & stick to my liquid diet... It's just tempting seeing my fiancee (we live together) have dinner in front of me... He has tried his best not to eat in front of me in which I'm grateful for.. so he'll eat before he comes home from work or go to his mother's for dinner.. but I wish I was with him eating his mom's delicious meals... So bottomline having the lapband surgery is a chose I made & I know I have to deal & obey the rules.. Thank you for all your help... I hope you're doing well with your diet. See you on the skinny side :-)

Hello Summerrain, I had my surgery 3days ago & my diet is liquids for 2wks then soft mushy foods for 3wks.. I have been drinking mostly water. Had a shake today.. I had to do the 2wk shake diet before my surgery which was hard so overall I wish I can eat a meal. Lately I have cravings, I'm just mentally saying no & be a good girl by following the rules. I'm just wondering if this was normal. I don't want to be the only one feeling hungry while everyone else feels full. It's hard not to have cravings being that all you see on tv is food commercials being advertised... But my health is more important than anything else.

Oh ok, I just had mine 3days ago. I still gotta follow the liquid diet.

Thank you 2muchfun, I have been hungry for quite awhile.. I had a little piece of chicken yesterday & kept it down just fine. I guess I wish I wasn't hungry all the time. I wish & want to eat foods... Plus its very hard while others are eating delicious meals for dinner around you. So far I haven't tried foods after my surgery. So I don't know what I can keep down... Expect the little bit of chicken & I kept it down. Thank you for replying back. I appreciate the response.

Hearthermarire, When did you get your lapband surgery?

TriciaL, Hi what's your secret? Are you hitting the gym a lot?

Yes I just had it done this Tuesday 8/28

I couldn't drink 5 of those a day, I had only 2 and a little bit of oatmeal or chicken broth.

Hey Melissaw, How are you? I had my surgery on Tuesday 8/28 as well. I was scheduled to have surgery at 10am. I woke up & felt extremely thirsty. I had major pain in my stomach. Nurses told me the pain was normal being that I have 5holes in my stomach... Being that I take the prescription medication for pain, that has helped me out a lot!! I couldn't sleep on my bed lying down so I slept on my recliner. Luckily I'm doing a little better but I know all well take time to heal. I hope you're feeling better. :-)

Hello Mz Thang, I just got banded this past Tuesday & when I woke up. My stomach was in so much pain & my mouth was sooooo dry! I was extremely thirsty!! I was only able to intake very little bit of water once an hr.. just make sure you have the prescription medications they came you. Take them as doctor directed them for pain... But so far my recovery is going well... Recovery will take time. Remember that.

Thank you so much everyone! You are all so nice. I'm very happy I joined this site. I know if we all encourage eachother & support one another. We can succeed & get to our goal. See you all on the skinny side :-)

My doctor's staff told me my shakes had to only be ice, the powder, skim milk & blend it up... 5xs a day. Then they said you can have a protein bar but give up a shake.. personally it wasn't too good so I chose to add banana, strawberries & instead of skim milk, I substitute it with Crystal Light juice. Blend it up & it was delicious!!! Just an ideal

My doctor said you can have a protein bar too but you would have to give up a shake.. That is optional =)

HI thank you so much for welcoming me... I am excited I got this done and am looking forward to losing the weight. I plan to exercise next week, I'm still very sore and have the tapes on my stomach, I don't want to sweat and break out in a rash or anything but I'm sure I will be better next week. Thats when I will start moving around. Thank you again and keep in touch =)

Hi those 2wks for me it was very hard... For the first 4-5 days, my stomach wouldn't stop growling... eventually my stomach adjusted to the diet. You will do great! =)
