wow. you lost alot of weight already. Iwas banded on 10-15-09 and lost 32 lbs. Im feeling good about myself, but tonight i ate a personal thin crust pizza and feel horrible. You do have will power. Your doing great!! and you look great!

You are so lucky that you cant eat that stuff. I was banded on 10-15-09, although I have lost 32 lbs, I can eat anything. It sucks. YOU ARE LUCKY. I can eat bread, pizza etc. I feel my weight not coming off so quickly this week and it makes me mad. Good luck!

I had my surgery on 10-15-09 and I have lost 31 lbs. Im happy and loving it. Good Luck!

I was banded on 10/15/09. When my hubby and kids would eat when I was on liquids, i would just go in my room and cry. Now I laugh about it. When I came back to work it was really hard also becuase everyone loves to eat around here. But now I can eat with them but now I make healthier choices. At first I thought why did I have this surgery but I have lost 31 lbs in a month and I am so loving it. Good luck. Once you get over liquids it will get so much easier for you!! We can all do this!:w00t:

I had my surgery on 10/15/09 and I am three weeks out of surgery. So far so good. I went to the Dr yesterday for my first post-op appointment and he told me to come back in two months. I told him what about a fill? ( I just have the band on, no fill at all. He said 25% of patients never need a fill and just to come back in two months for a check up. Has anyone heard of this? By the way. I have lost 24 lbs in 3 weeks! Im so happy and can feel it.:thumbup:

Dont have it taken out. the Dr. is correct. The pain is from the CO2 Gas they put in during surgery and then it takes a long time to get out of your system. Just walk around alot. I had a lot of pain just like you did for 2 1/2 weeks. It will go away I promise. I had other surgery's also and this was the worse. Hang in there. I had my surgery on 10-15-09 and today has been week three. I am feeling great now butat first when I was in pain I cried everyday for two weeks. I was miserable!!! I will be thinking of you and I hope you feel better soon!

I feel your pain. It is from the CO2 that they put into you during surgery. I was banded on Oct 15 and just last week the pain went away. It was there for two weeks. My left shoulder was in so much pain. No matter what I did i still had the pain. It was horrible!!!!! It will go away shortly. And your Dr should have gave you pain medicine. Just hang in there and before you know it the pain will be. Good luck!

I was banded on 10-15-09 and too is feeling alone. Its been the toughest 10 days in my life. I just started to feel alot better and made dinner for my hubby and kids. The only thing I have done is taste the sauce on my tounge to make sure its to taste. I have been good with my diet just very emotional and crying all the time. I went with my hubby today today a bar to watch the raiders game on tv and had soup and water while he had Pull Pork sandwiches. Oh it looked so good! But I am just very emotional at this point. We will all get through this and it will get easier everyday. Tommorrow I am going to be back at work. Im scared but I will just go home on lunch and drink my shakes. Have a good day everyone!!!

I feel for you, tommorrow is my one week of being banded. I am miserable also. My body feels fine but not my mind. I need food! I am miserable. You are not the only one! Stay stong, you can do this and so can I. But I can relate and I am very very weak. :thumbup:

I had my lap band surgery on 10-15-09, only five days ago and I am so hungry also. I am miserable and my head is so hungry along with my tummy. I am trying to stay stong also. Its so so hard. I want to eat chicken Noodle soup and start my week two diet. Im misearable and I feel for you!!!! I thought i was the only one feeling like this!! I am so weak and I want to throw up, nothing is satisfying me at all. Nothing!
