Yes I did..I immmediately saw and felt a difference iny my stomach....it was totally flatter. Even my BF said it was more like the old me before doing the lapband. So glad I made the change!!

Wow..my dr had me on liquids for 3 wks...I just moved to mushies/pureed last Tuesday and stay on that til 1-1...then introduce regular food slowly...every dr is different im learning...and its all worth it!!

Ive been living on mashed potatoes, refried beans,pureed chicken salad and egg salad..also baby bell cheeses....I was 4wks out yesterday and it get easier every day....

HI...Yes its possible to go back after a week. I had surgery 11-20, was out of hospital on Thanksgiving and went to work yestrrday,no problem. I have a dedk job as well. Just an fyi...my surgery was too remove my lapband and convert to sleeve. I would NEVER recommrnd the lapband to anyone!!!

Im not sure what the deciding factor is. My dr has me on liquids for 3 wks, so I have two more after tomorrow. THen soft foods for three weeks, then on 1-1-13, try to eat regular food...but my sister is doing the same thing, and she only has 1 week of liquids, 2 weeks soft, and then regular. I think it how the Dr feels the patient respond. When were you sleeved? I had mine on 11-20. They took out my lapband and did the sleeve, all I can say is thank goodness for that.
