Any couples taking this journey together?
mprado replied to DanBar's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My husband and I were banded 2 weeks apart. I was banded on March 20 and he on April 3. It had been going really well. At first he was able to eat whatever he wanted and I was getting stuck all the time...until yesterday when he got his first fill...now he knows what I was going through. :thumbup: -
March 2009 - Lucky Losers! 1st Fill Ck-in
mprado replied to malissa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my first fill yesterday. It was weird. The doctor had a hard time finding the port...well he found the port but not the center, he kept hitting the edgse of it. I got 3 cc's in a 10 cc band. He almost didn't fill be at all because I some restriction with the 1.6 cc that were in at surgery. -
I thought I was the only one experiencing this. During the day, I can eat fine but when I eat in the evening,, not even late, i get stuck and the food come up.

It might be gas. Try taking some gas X. I hope it helps! -
What did you wear on surgery day?
mprado replied to hrtgoeson's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wore Yoga pants, a T-Shirt and flip-flops. Comfy is the way to go! -
How is it to cook for others after surgery
mprado replied to Allformyson's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I cook for my 2 year old daughter and it doesn't bother me. I was banded on 3/20 and my husband was banded yesterday so after my surgery, my husband was on the pre-op diet and couldn't eat. cooking for my daughter actually helps be not want to eat. I make it as healthy as possible and it makes me happy watching her enjoy it! -
I just had lap band surgery on the 20th of March. I am just strating to feel a little bit better and on Friday my husband is going to have surgery for his lap band. I am so nervous:confused: for him! I don't know why. Things have gone smoothly for me. we have a 2 year old daughter and I don't want her to be scared that both mommy and daddy have boo-boo's on their belly...just wanted to vent a little. I know he will be fine. We are doing this so that we can live a healthier and better life for our little princess...

Congrats! I wish I could have mushies...full liquids for me for 3 weeks... I am really enjoying the pureed soup and the sf pudding though! Enjoy your mashed sweet potatoes!!!!

Today is the day that I finally get to have blended soups, pudding, yogurt, etc. I was so excited last night and made sugar free chocolate puddding and vanilla! This morning I woke up, ready to make some cream of wheat and got scared...crazy huh? maybe I will get brave during lunch and have some pureed soup...let's see. :crying:
