  1. Have been reading this web site for the last few days, it has been helpful and interesting to hear everyone's comments and feelings. I had my lap banding on Thursday, so I am 5 days out. I actually felt better on the second day than I do now. Sounds like depending who and where you had your procedure done, post-op instructions for diets are somewhat different. Even when you research the web, different diets come up. I am on full liquids and anticipate that I will be on that for 2 weeks. I will see the physician on Monday for my follow-up. Although I have talked with my physician via phone with the following questions, I thought I would ask all of you, since you have actually been through this and are experiencing or have experienced some of the symptoms I am still having. 1) Did you still feel bloated and distended at 5 days post procedure? 2) It seems like every ounce I drink fills me up quickly and it is had to get that 64 oz and all that protein in. 3) Having a hard time lying on the left side, forget the right. 4) Have bowel movements been an issue for anyone at day 5? 5) When did you start back to work. I know these sound like such intimate questions but I am really looking forward to your experiences. Thank you, Karen from Idaho.

    For whatever rationale, our physician didn't have us on a diet prior to our procedure, just said no caffeine or carbonated beverages and eat lite 4-5 days before the procedure. It looks like most everyone else was on a pre banding diet.
