    Can I eat pasta?

    Everybody is different with regards to what they can and can't eat. I've been banded for about 2 months now, have had one fill and i can't eat bread, rice or pasta. These were some of my most fav foods before the band, but honestly I don't really miss them. :sifone:
  3. I have BCBS (MN). It took about 2 weeks, maybe a little less, from when my Dr submited it till i got approval.

    1 weeks 2 days out

    Today was a test for me. I had the day off and I had to fight the temptation to munch all day. I feel hungry all the time. I know that band is there, and im not able to eat as much. I'm soo looking forward to my first fill. I have this worry in the back of my head that im gonna screw this up

    Post-op day 1

    I had my surgery at about 11:30 yesterday. I had an excellent experience at the hospital, the Drs and Nurses were all super nice and answered my questions. I have to admit, least evening was kind of rough. I was really sore and super sleepy. I could barely keep my eyes open! I'm sure it was related to all the medications from the surgery. I alternated the pain medicine the Dr gave me and Tylenol, which helped. I haven't had any nausea or vomiting at all. Yay! The clear liquids are going good; I don’t have much of an appetite for anything else. Now today, the pains I was having in my upper abdomen have almost completely subsided. Just sore at my incision sites and kind of dizzy but it’s not bad at all, nothing like yesterday. I often find myself daydreaming about what I will look like when I get to my goal (I’m thinking around 170) And to think that I’m actually on my way there blows my mind! I’ve wanted this for so long. :thumbup:
