My doc said I could take Tylenol gel caps right away.

I just started going to a therapist . The mental struggle has been so hard. Many days filled with regret after the surgery. Trying to work through it all.

Please please please research lapband ... many docs won’t do it anymore . I just got mine removed it was a miserable 4 years.

I am also one week out and cry every day about what I did . I felt so prepared before the surgery . I feel like reading all the message boards also messed with my mind ... so many horror stories , and it’s hard not to wonder if they will happen to you. It’s very very hard in the beginning .

Post op is challenging as well 😩

How did you Keep calm?

Thank you !

How are you feeling ? How was suervery , recovery?

Have u tried genpro flavorless ... i am getting sleeved Friday , but have been sampling different things . It’s great mixed in sugar free pudding.... even tolerable in crystal light .

I am two weeks post op inTally. I went to Dr. Sieloff. I started a blog with how the surgery and everything went if you want to see www.tallylapband.blogspot.com

I was banded about 10 days ago. I was terrified before surgery not only about something happening during the surgery, but what life would be like after. Honestly i am 10 days out, and feel exactly the same as I did before the surgery. I am up and about, walking every day..Only difference is I am full after eating small amounts of food. I am down 10lb so far, and feel fantastic! You can do it too.

I am also 4 days post op..I have been eating lots of broth.. my new find was chicken noodle Soup from a local chinese restaruant..i just drain the broth out..has great flavor. I make my own Protein shakes, as i have found the ones already made are too thick. Right now i am using muscle milk light Cookies and cream powder and it is actually rather tasty. I only eat when hungry..but i try to make sure i drink..water and gatorade have been my gotos...gatroade seems to give me a little energy.

Banded yesterday afternoon ! Had to stay one night in hospital which I am thankful for.. Wasn't ex

Oops.. Wasn't expecting do much pain and nasea last night .. Much better this morning.. Stomach is very sore .

I am having my surgery tomorrow at 12 noon... Freaking out as well! Best of luck to all tomorrow

My Surgery is at Noon Tomorrow!

Any suggestions...brands of Protein shakes, or anything else you can recommend? Thanks

Thanks so much everybody! I really appreciate

Wow.. 2 weeks from today I will be in the hospital getting lapbanded. Its hard to believe that my struggle with weight loss has come to this, but i am ready to tackle it head on. Lets rewind. I am 33 years old and in live in Tallahassee Florida, home to my beloved seminoles. I am happily married and have a 5 year old son named Dylan. Growing up I swam competitively from the time i was six years old through college. Although i had to watch my weight because i swam so much, it wasnt an "issue". My eating habits growing up were atrocious..two orders of chicken fingers and fries was a regular. Once college ended, swimming stopped and the "real world" set in. Sitting at a desk 9 hours a day, eating junk and not exercising lead to a 100lb weight gain. I have decided on Lap Band and will be banded May 9th at Tallahassee Memorial Hopsital by Dr. Eliot Sieloff. In preparing for surgery, I have read blogs and books and searched the internet...man is there a lot of stuff out there...funny how the things that stick are the scary parts.. How do you get past that? Any encouragement would be much appreciated~!!

Thanks ladydiva! I will definetly download it. I read something (cant remember the name) skinny jeans or something like that, and was a little informative. They just lumped all 3 bariatric surgeries into one.. Good luck to you as well
