Not had any problems with anything I have eaten to this point. I was on clear liquids for three days, full liquids for 4 days, soft/mushies for 7 days and then transitioned into solids per my doc. Although now that you've voiced concern I am freaked out.

Yep. I have been on full solids for about a week.

So I have always been an all or nothing kind of girl and I can't wait to get back to my crazy gym routine! 6 weeks seems like such a long time to wait before getting back to spin, running, lifting and crossfit. I am a gym addict and this is killing me. I have been walking some,but it feels so unfulfilling. Did anyone else have this long of a wait to get back to the gym?

Thanks everyone. I feel really great. Can't wait to hit goal!!

Add some salsa and black beans. Yummy!!!

I am 16 days post op and down 18 lbs. I have cut processed carbs for the most part and even before the band when I did that I would lose quickly. That being said I really believe as others have said the first month to six weeks should be about healing, and learning how you'll feed your new body. :-)

I kept waking up on my stomach thru the night. Can sleeping on my stomach have messed anything up since I am only 2 weeks post op?

Thanks so much for the reply. It scared me! Lol

Isn't the green zone being full for 4 hours on 1/2 of food?

I am transitioned back onto "normal" foods and doing great. Eating 1/2 cup portions and finding this is all coming very naturally now. I automatically set aside or throw away half my food and eat a band size portion and feel satisfied. I know the band is still new to my body but I can honestly say this is the best decision I ever made for myself! Scheduled for my first fill at the end of the month but not so sure I need one since I am losing steadily and am satisfied. Guess we will see.

I doubt I will pass on it, just depends on what the doc says. I am losing about a 1/2 to a full pound a day. So nice and steady.

I am 8 days post op and could eat a horse. My husband just left for night shift and these are the times when I usually binge my brains out because I don't have the guilt of eating in front of someone. Now since I am still healing I am sticking to band size portions (1/2 cup) and trying to stay busy. I just hate that the way I deal with being lonely, or bored, or sad, or happy is to eat my weight in crap. Going to make a cup of hot tea and read to try and keep my mind off food until dinner time. Just needed to vent. :-)

Hubby took me to dinner tonight and the waitress really thought something was wrong because it took me 40 minutes to eat 6 green beans and 3 oz of pulled chicken. Lol! I had to keep telling her everything was fine.

I find it not to hard. Unless we are out to eat and then it's much more difficult.

Went really good. I had about 1/4 cup of chicken and 6-7 fried green beans. I find I am way hungrier at night where as in the morning it takes me 2-3 hours to get down a 16 oz protein shake. I know fried green beans may not have been the healthiest choice but I still was at about 800 calories for the day.

I am a few days shy of two weeks post op and am on soft/mushies and cleared to start regular foods.

I can eat about 1/2 cup of packed food. Less of solids though. I got about 1/4 cup chili down last night. Headed out with the hubby for a dinner date to a BBQ place. Planning on pulled chicken and green beans.

Tried my first semi solid meal tonight. Chili from Quiznos, measured 1/2 cup could only eat about half of it and was hiccuping so I figured I was done eating. Now my stomach is making some crazy noises. Like rumbly, grumbling, kinda gurgling no pain just noise. Is this normal or is my body not liking solids??

Lol. It's not like a fart noise though. Just rumbly

One of the reasons I chose lapband is because i could not imagine willingly having my intestines rerouted or half my stomach cut away and thrown in the garbage. The malabsorption issues scared me too.

Little Caesars is my crack! My husband knows I may have to kill him and bury the body if he wats that in front of me. Lol! Kidding (sort of).
