I had my lap band done 7-29-08. My doctor is not very aggressive in filling the band. I have only had 2 fills so far, the first one I had 2cc instilled and the second (which was 9 weeks after the first one) was 3cc. I do not feel restricted at all. My weight loss has been terrible since the band has been inserted. I know I am able to eat way to much food. I am getting so discouraged. After reading these posts, I see that I am going to probably have several more fills to get where I need to be. My doctor only sees me every 8 weeks to assess my weight loss. I wish he would see me more frequently. I does make me feel better that most people are needing several more cc's in their band to get the restriction they need. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong and was ready to throw in the towel.

I am going to be starting my pureed phase on Tuesday. Just interested in what people have been eating while on pureed phase? My MD has not given me an specifics on foods. Would mashed potatoes be considered pureed or soft food or are they something I should avoid all together? Any suggestions will be appreciated!!

I am about 7 hours from my surgery and I know what you are feeling. I am very nervous but excited to be making this change in my life. Hope everything goes well and soon we will be posting again as those post-op.
