thanks for the quick reply Pat. I am so happy to hear that soft foods won't damage band placement in week 2. I am going to lay off though for a few days and continue with soup. I was self pay and can't or should I say don't want any complications.

I heard Atkins with NO Sugar or carbs is = to the benefits of the liquid pre op diet. Both will shrink your liver. At least you could have a meat dish. Ask a nutritionist or the doctor's office.

:rolleyes2: I had lapband surgery Fri Apr 18th. It will be 2 weeks on Friday. Holy cow. I am already starting to eat regular foods. I chew chew chew really good and the good news is that I get full sooo QUICK, I am just afraid. I know I am still healing and scar tissue is forming. I haven't gotten sick or thrown up which I know is a huge deal not to do at least in the first 2 months. Has anyone else indulged too soon post-op? Was your doctor totally upset? Is anyone out there that had band slippage or had the top part of their pouch stretched out. I feel so disappointed with myself. I was doing well. I was down 10 pounds just one week after surgery. I guess this is the kind of selfishness is what got me to be overweight in the first place. Is there anyone else out there like me?

Hello. Someone that I go to for a lot of support and questions is a webblog called "LisetheLoser".com she is very informative and has a lot of banded followers who post on her site. She is awesome. I look forward to her blogs daily.

Keep the faith. I had surgery on a Friday and went into my job 3 days later. All you can do is take it slow, move slow; I only used my nasal narcotic once or twice a day that weekend. I had a friend compare it to a lap gallbladder removal. 3-4 days later it didn't hurt to cough or sneeze. Good Luck!!!!
