I WAS BANDED ON 6/26/08 AND FOR MY 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION FEAST, I HAD A 6 oz WHEY PROTEIN SHAKE FOR BREAKFAST, WATER, JUICE, RITZ BITZ CRACKERS FOR LUNCH (WHICH I SHOULD HAVE HAD SOME PROTIEN) AND 1/2 CUP OF MUSHY BROCCOLI FOR DINNER. FEELING VERY FULL AND I THINK I AM FINISHED FOR THE DAY.:thumbup:

My dietician told me to start eating some fruits, maybe she meant soft fruits like bananas or peaches. Apples were the only fruit i had available. but i'm back to the mushy foods....

Hello everyone, I am 5 days post op from lap band surgery and guess what?? I just ate a small apple cut up into slices with peanut butter on it and raisins sprinkled on the top. What a good snack, but was just wondering if I over did it?? So far my stomach feels fine and full. Let me know if I moved a little too soon with eating that good ole apple!!!!!:wink:

Hi Guys, Can someone tell me about platelets?? I had my pre op labs done and my platelets came back a little elevated, so the surgeon wants them repeated before I have my surgery on 6/26/08. I have been worried that he will cancel my surgery. I would be devastated if my surgery was cancel especially everything I've gone through to get it approved. So I'm hoping that everything is ok. Will keep you posted :thumbup:

You will do just fine. My oldest child went into the Navy right after high school (2005)and I thought I would loose my mind. I did not hear from him for 5 weeks. Then my second child went off to school (2007) and I thought i would worry myself to death. But she was fine, she was not even thinking about me. Now they are both gone, except for when my daughter comes home from college and he comes home for a few days. The house is a total wreck when they are home, dirty dishes and clothes everywhere. The grocery bill is sky high, but you know what????? I just love it. Love to see them come and love to see the go. I have a chiwahwah (Nacho) that my daughter left, so I have company all the time. Oh did I mention, my mom moved in with me. So I'm not so lonely. Everything has worked out great....

Looking for a buddy who lives in Charlotte, NC that will be banded in June. I really need a support person.:crying:

He told me it was 2cm and it should not cause a problem. They saw it when I had my Epper Endoscopy (EGD). I think if it was a problem they would not do the surgery, so I'm going to worry about.

Hi Guys, I will be starting the 2 week liquids on Thursday, June 12. I need support to help me get through this. Can someone give me some tips on how I can get through this and what can I eat??I'm starting to have some anxiety because I know this has to be done, but do not want to fail.:crying:

Hi, they will mainly talk about how you feel about the surgery, do you have good family and friend support. Do you feel or ever felt suicidal. do hear voices in your head. do you feel like killing someone or ever though of killing someone. if you take anti depression meds, what trigger you to take those??? things of that nature
