There were around 20 people there. It really helps to listen to other Lap Banders and their experiences. A wealth of information. Highly recommend them if you can!

I was so nervous for mine. And it was a non event! I couldn't believe i gave it a minute of thought!! -
I have been banded almost 8 weeks now. I have some really personal problems going on right now and im really struggling to eat. Im allowed now but im scared nervous and have a lot if anxiety over the other stuff. My food list consists of protein shakes greek yogurt applesauce and chicken salad. I dont know what to do. Im sure I'd fail psych test now. And I am hungry. Miserable !! Just venting....

I posted this question the other day but couldnt find the thread if anyone answered
-
I think food and over eating meant way more to me than i ever realized. Banded 10/10. Most if the time this journey is really neat. Losing 39 pounds already. Feeling better about myself etc etc. except meal times. I have 5 older kids and husband. Eating is this big deal. I feel left out sometimes. Is this normal??

I had clear liquids for 24 hrs. Now can only have shakes for 2 days. Then mushies for 2 days etc.. Im so hungry. I have been all day. I thought i would be less hungry worried !

Hi Getting My First Fill Tomorrow
Joy1961 replied to louisab79's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My dr put me on clear liquids for 24 hrs after fill. Then protein shakes for 2 days (doing that now) then 2 days of mushies then back on solids after that. Had my first fill Tuesday. No big deal. Nervous for nothing! Only complaint is Im very hungry. Good Luck:) -

So i finally found one i live. Unjury. But my Nut is not happy b/c i use skim milk. Too much carbs. They only carbs practically in my diet! I thought i was doing good. Banded 10/10. Down 36 pounds. Said use Almond milk. Heard its awful. Help

So as i start putting away clothes that are too big now i ask myself How will this time be any different? Have had weight loss success b4 but never kept it off for long. I want this to be the last time. But how? Banded 10/10. Lost 35 need to lose 60 more. Happy but sad it could just be another failure. How can I make sure this time is different? Btw Im 51 and too old and tired to do this again!

I am 6 weeks post op and this morning i had a few bites if scrambled egg and omg i felt this awful feeling in my chest and i knew this is what I had read about. Weird thing is i dont feel like i had big bites and I've never had problem with eggs. It was a lot earlier in the morning ?????
-
I would say thats a good thing. I am 6 weeks post op and have the opposite problem. It's very frustrating! Congrats on your surgery

Is It Ok To "tweek" Your Dr's Diet Plan
Joy1961 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Got the ok for solids today but my dr is so strict no carbs except for whats in fruits and veg. No starch no cereal hot or cold. Here's the kicker. Never!! Seems extreme. No milk in my Unjury shakes either. I did Atkins b4 and its too restrictive. Could never stick to it for long. Help
