I read your blog, but if you want suggestions you need to let people post comments to your blog. See my blog talking about my favorite foods here: Too much food = chest pain! - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum

Hey banded! How is your banded life going? I have found that I can't have cookie dough in my house. I can say no to most things, but not cookie dough! I guess it is good that I learn that lesson early.
Have you had your first fill yet? Second?

My fill went really well. I put it on my blog here: My First Fill....Strange! - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum
I am down a total of 40 lbs in two months. 26 pounds since surgery. I'm so glad your fill went well. That will help so much. Do you have much restriction? I slimed for the first time the day after surgery on my egg beaters for breakfast. It is kind of gross! I did it again for lunch that day, but I have been better since then. Chew chew chew.
I want to lose 6 pounds by Jan 1st. Wish me luck!
Keep me posted!

Hi cin, I had my first fill scheduled at 4 weeks post op. I rescheduled because I thought I had resctriction. As soon as I resceduled my swelling from surger all went down. I don't really have any. I can tell if I eat really big bites that I better slow down and chew chew chew, but I can eat anything I want. I am still losing weight by following the bandster rules. My first fill will happen on Friday.
Good luck!

Honey...I feel for you! I've been on soft foods for a week! I don't know how you are doing it! Hang in there. Eggs will never have tasted so good!

I'm doing pretty good. I stated soft foods today. I got in 680 calories. That more than doubles what I have been getting. I feel pretty good. How about you?

Yes. The gas that they put in your abdomen to be able to see around has to be absorbed and disipate. Well as that gas puts preasure on your diaphram it often hurts in your shoulders. More specifically you left shoulder because it follows the same nerve pathway. I have stated to get hungry, but it doen't feel like hunger. I start to feel just a little....nausous maybe. A few bite of jellow usually take care of it.
Good luck. Have you found our October 2008 group? See if this will take you there. October 2008 Bandsters - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum Those of us that post here has been banded in October.
