Just curious?! :thumbup: I had my lap banded on July 2. I just had my first fill. Dr. Charles Morton was my doc and has been fantastic. Let me know! Hope all is well with all!

Hey! I was just banded on Wednesday! Would love to hear from other July 2 bandsters... Hope everyone is doing well! :tt2:

That's great, Kathleen! Actually for just a little bit last night I was able to be on my right side too! I just had some chicken broth and feel sooo full. Just a half a cup! this is insane! Does your work involve much physical activity?

I am doing much better today! Just a little sore and the gas seems to be going away! My doc has all of us on a liquid diet for the first 3 -4 days and then slowly introduce mushy foods...then on day 7 (or later if I want to wait) he has a 10 day meal plan to slowly introduce solid foods. The 1/4 cup egg salad yesterday I had I put in the quisinart and the Soup went down really well. I had 1/2 a cup. (I also had a 1/4 a cup of cottage cheese) I'm trying to walk regularly. My doctor is fantastic. He performed some of the very first lap bands. Of the thousands of bands he's put in he's had only 2 slips from patients who tested their band too much! (and two were from people who became ill from stomach type flus and were throwing up all the time...) I read about someone who had theirs done at the Mayo clinic on another forum (which one, i'm not sure) And their postop diet was very similar to mine. Of course I would follow exactly what my doctor suggests even if they told me not to eat anything for 4 weeks! It is interesting to see some of the differences. I'm not too eager to introduce the solids. Or even some mushy food. I'm sill scared to take a vitamin-even my chewable!! OIC, I'm from Nashville! I'm kind of blabbing on this morning! Slept better last night than I have in a while. But a bit out of it this morn! How is everyone today?

Hey, Y'all- I'm still pretty sore too. I was in the WORST pain the day after surgery. I walked a half a mile yesterday and today. Still pretty sore around the incisions. I can't sleep on my side either! I so wish I could. I'm not sleeping that well. I'm real bloated and gaseous too. I last took my pain meds at 5 this morning. Trying to wait till bed time to take them again but my stomach is really starting to get sore again. I am getting ready to have some tomato basil soup. Today i had a bout at 1/4 cup of egg salad. I'm trying to drink Water. I felt hungry for the first time today. Ate the egg salad and was fine. I really couldn't care less about food right now. My weight is down about 2 lbs since wednesday but it was down that much thursday and has stayed the same since. Which I hear is very normal and it could be worse..i could be gaining. I'm definitely ready for this part to be over! What have y'all been doing to past the time? Where are y'all from?
