I had my lapband less than a week ago on June 9th. I am doing OK but am getting sick of juices, clear liquids, jello and bullion! I always considered myself a sweet lover but could be happy right now to never put another sweet thing in my mouth! I feel fairly listless, not a lot of energy.... did you feel the same during the first week? The thought of being able to have protein shakes and some more solid things (custard, pudding) next week sounds like it will make things easier or at least feel a little more normal. I am very excited about the lap band and hope that I start feeling a little more energy soon. I'm so glad that my sister found this site for me and that I'll be able to talk to others who are a little or a lot ahead of me in this process!
