I was banded on sept 2 just checking to see how everyone is doing that was banded around the same time. I'm stiil learning my band . I learn something new everyday . One thing I know it's hard to for me to get all my protein in. But what works for me is when I wake up in the morning that's when I can drink the most so I try to drink my protein shake then. According to my scale I've lost 8lbs since surgery . But all scales r different so I'll wait till I get my first fill on oct 1st. So how's everyone else doing ??

I use straws can't drink with out them .

I was banded on sept 2 just wondering how everyone is doing that was banded at the same time ?? How much have u lost?? According to my scale I've lost 13lbs since the day of surgery .

.

I've had no problems at all u mite want to call ur doc

Yea somtimes I eat to fast myself, I just try to take me time and remind my self to eat slow.i always on the go so it's really hard for me too. It's Easier for me to eat early , then it is to eat in afternoon . So I try to eat as much as I can cause at the end of the day I can't. I'm still learning my band so I just go with it .

Any breakfest ideals,, running out if things thing to eat or should I say getting tired of eggs and oatmeal

All sounds good will have to try them

Thanks for the responce ,, believe it or not it's easier for me to eat in the morning as the day goes on I feel tighter so I try to get food down in am. I will start looking to other options . Thank u again

I started with 3cc in my band I go in the 1st for my first fill but I don't know if I need it yet .

I know everyone is different but I have to ask anyway. At 3 months what was ur weight loss with the band ?? Even 6 months if u can remember ??

I had my pain for about 4 days it will go away 12 days ago I feel great. Keep taking your gas ex ,, it will get better . One thing I tried was moving my arm in around to move some of the gas inside . That seem to help .

I'm 10 days out only 2lbs down . Like u I'm trying different soft foods that work for me . Haven't got my first fill yet . I go back to work on tues . So I'm looking forward to that!

I actually just put some in my shake this morning when I blended it .

I've only 8 days out and feel hungry too according to my scale I've only lost 2lbs too I feel really bloated also to . But I'm not going to worry to much . It beats eating a large pizza or burger that I use to eat . I get a full on the 23rd will see how that works .

Well that's good to know I will call the doc today and see what he says

I've notice since I had surgery I been haven acid reflex that I never had before , at least not this often . Has anyone experience this ??

Yea I hear a lot if things going on in my stomach also but the reflex is the most bothersome . Had mine 7 days ago to .not at work yet trying to enjoy it .

Yea today it's been bad for me too .

Well I hope it works out well for you , keeps us posted . Good luck !!

. Yes I was looking for my port too it's rite under the big incision . I feel great also just trying to learn how to eat slow . I'm on soft foods now . My life has totally changed now . I just can't get up and go . I got to make sure I get my first shake down . But I love it do far !!

Was banded on sept 2 any once else banded on that day or around that date ??

Just want everyone to know that reading your post for the last year has help me a lot being a newbie on here. I've gained so much info and advise . Just wanted to let y'all know when u post things that y'all have gone through it really helps us new ones . Thanks again !!

I feel pretty good I have the lap band and I have 4 incisions one where they fixed a hiatal hernia, didn't have sticch , glue over it. I'm 6 days out and feel grat now. So hopefully by the 16 I can be back to full duty .
