I work and live in the Austin area and was banded on Nov 21 I lost weight in the beginning 15 pounds and had to have my first fill removed due to so much pain and gained it back But now Im back at on my second fill and have lost inches not that much weight but I would love have someone to chat with and go thru this life changing process with.

Hello Everyone Im a Newbie I received my Lap band 11/21/2013 and my weight then was 219.6 as of today I'm 211.3 and counting, My goal weight is to be 165.00. But my question for my fellow Bandsters is it ok to eat solid food being only that Im 6 days post op, I was schedule to be on a liquid diet for 1 week and then puree the next. Its Thanksgiving tomorrow and yes Im cooking dinner for the family but I Opt to eat some bake fish which is healthier, but not puree YUCK!! LOL (dnt think I will just stick to liquids one more day and on to the mushies)... Please help I dont want to mess anything with my band up. Has anyone else ate solid food before their week on the liquid diet was up. Thank You in Advance!!

I too was laughing at some of the post....Yes u live and you learn...Thank you

AT B-52 ALL WAS CONSIDERED AND I DIDNT GET SMART WITH ANYONE ON HERE UNTIL ONE OF THE PEERS WAS AS PUT SARCASTICALLY/HUMOUROUSLY RUDE WITH ME, AND SOME NURSE ARE THE HARDESTS PATIENTS I MYSELF AND ONE OF THEM BUT IM DONE THIS WHOLE THING, I CAN SEE ITS NEVER A DULL MOMENT BUT IM HERE FOR SUPPORT NOT A DEBATE!!! THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS ITS AND OPEN DISCUSSION AND THAT WHAT IS EXPECTED YOUR EXPERIENCE NOT OPINIONS...I YES FOLLOW THE DR. ORDERS IM OK WITH THAT AND I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND... AGAIN NOT FOR DEBATE AND REGARDLESS OF MY BACKGROUND THATS OUT THE DOOR WHEN IM HERE FOR SUPPORT....IM NOT THE NURSE RIGHT NOW IM THE PATIENT...A

Well at the THE ICY ONE I am a medical professional (nurse) and I don't have all the answers and neither does my Dr who perform my surgery because he has never been banded...which is the reason I asked a question. I'm far from a drama Queen Sh*t stirrer as u said. My question was answered and yes you were the one to get smart with me first u was flat out rude oh wait humorously sarcastic and If I felt someone it was rude that's my Opinion regardless of what u or anyone thinks God Bless You and I wish you nothing but and abundance of Weight Loss Success..

seems to me if you are concerned about eating then you already know the answer to your question... that was a little rude comment.....but hey its over and done with and as always thank you for the advice!!! *smile*

At CarolinaGirl actually your post to me came off a little rude and again I appreciate your feedback, I got this surgery just like the rest of you did for a reason and Im following my Dr's order if your re-read thru the my post then you too would have known I was getting ready for the mushies the next day just started earlier and havent had any since then Ive sticking to Soups, popsicles for now. I didnt have the same diet plan as most of you probably had 1-2 liquids 2nd week mushies if tolerated my mushies was a piece of broiled chicken chewed very well...Thank you again, I dnt like to come off like this and no hard feelings my way maybe I should have reworded my post *Smile*

Hello Everyone I was Banded on November 21st I was on a liquid diet until Thanksgiving Eve I was cooking and started my mushing a lil early, no problems with that so far just trying to stay hydrated bc Im still in the healing phase and for some reason I dont have an appetite I have to make myself eat a little. I still have the shoulder pain, but other than that Life is treating me well I was scheduled to go back to work today 11/30 but instead I came back Mon 11/25 , I went in weighting 219 Im now at 211... still more to go I can do this better yet we can do this....God Bless Everyone!!

Um never ask you to sugar coat SH*T at THE ICY ONE and I dont have to sneek comments what come up comes out if Im coming off on here as rude is because you and the some of your ppl where rude to me, not all but some, a SIMPLE QUESTION is all I ask not for any ones OPINION, And by the way your not the only one that has had two major surgeries within a year Ive had three so you point!!! YES GET YOUR WALKER YOUR PROBABLY GOING TO NEED IT HERE SOON!!! You and the rest of your friends on here.*SMILE* NOW THATS BEING RUDE. (ALL CAPS)...CARRY ON AND DO NOT CARE TO READ YOUR REPLY YOURS AND NO ONE ELSES UNLESS, AT THE THIS I ASKED THIS QUESTION IT WAS BENEFICIAL TO ME!!!

Again thank you for your comment at The Icy One. I am now on the mushies as well but chose to maintain the stick with the liquids. Your probably older than I so your healing would probably be different than mine. Everyone does not heal the same an as far as me saying rude one comment to me was rude. But again I'm a BIG GIRL love the feedback and is here for support!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.

Thanks everyone for the input. Again I was simply asking a question. Im NEW to this whole thing and obviously I got it for a reason just like all of you did and I can follow my Dr's order just fine. But my Dr does not have the band so he cant tell me the weird feelings n cravings etc. Again It was a question and wanted to know if I was the only one who has done this so I appreciate all the feedback. Im a BIG GIRL so I can take all the harsh and rude remarks...*smile* And I'm good this way Hope each of you have a Wonderful Thanksgiving...God Bless
