  3. Hi, I am just now joining the talk forum. I definitely think that I need to read what others are feeling after having the lap-band surgery. I was banded on Oct. 4, 2007. My surgeon is Dr. Clifton Thomas. I did fine for the surgery, but I had a problem with nausea on the liquid diet. Then I broke out in hives---it was terrible. The dermatologist said that the hives were faciliatated by something that I was given before surgery. I was on liquids for nearly three weeks, but the doctor said to also eat applesauce and watery mashed potatoes (and any other foods that I could tolerate) to keep from being nauseated. I gradually started eating the mushy foods, along with liquids. At the end of the first week post-op visit, I had lost 16 lbs. At present I have lost 25 lbs., but I tend to worry about what I eat; like some of you stated, I have a hard time knowing if I am full or not. I don't visit the doctor again until Jan. 7., so I haven't had a fill. I was feeling allright until this past Thursday; I have been very nauseated and keep having headaches. I have taken medicine that was prescribed for nausea, but it hasn't helped. Has anyone encountered this problem? I am looking forward to becoming part of the group. Carolyn
