Hey i was banded dec 8th, and i dont feel like i ever had it done. When I eat i dont get that full feeling. Does anyone know what that feels like , because im not sure if its just because i havent had a fill yet that i dont feel like i am being restricted. I stick to small amounts of food 3x a day and lots of protein. I have lost 25lbs so far and now i feel like i hit a plateau is this normal?

hey i just read your blog and i am so excited for you, you give me hope. I had my ban done dec 8th of this year and it doesnt even feel like its there. I dont feel full when i eat ever, but im sticking to eating like 1 cup of things and small amounts of that. What do you reccomend to eat, i just need some examples. Get back please

I was just wondering how long should it take you to eat something like soup? How long in between small bites should you wait, before taking another bite?

i had to drink protein shakes...they were pretty good...drink regular milk too it really helps change the taste and fill you up....i got my surgery 10/21...it took me really about 2 weeks to feel "normal" i was very tired and didn't really wanna do too much...but once you get over that hump its amazing... you start to shed the pounds off and you will realize how worth it the surgery was!

So what did you eat the first week after? Do you remember?

Hi Bella_in_n_out I too got my banding done on Tuesday the 8th. I have up and go cereal drink for breakfast, soup for lunch and dinner. Try custard in the carton, its runny and soothing. Today is Friday and I am feeling not too bad, a bit swollen and tight in the abs but feeling fine. Can not wait for my first fill and start seeing results.

Thanks for reading my blog! What soups are you eating? I need some ideas i am sick of the same thing over and over!

i Had my surgery on tuesday to and I feel the same way you do when are we going to feel back to normal. I keep asking myself did I do the right thing. HOw are you feeling are you able to eat cause I really can't eat. I walk around alot but most of the day im so sleepy keep me posted please.

Hey well today is friday and I am feeling pretty good actually. I noticed that as long as I dont take my percocet that they prescribed me that I dont feel as sleepy. So im only taking it if im in pain! I'm on liquids as im sure you are and i am so sick of my carnation instant breakfast. What are you eating?

Well surgery was on Tuesday the 8th , got home yesterday. Feeling ok i guess, but I have to drink Carnation instant breakfast and I am starting to hate it. What has everyone else had to drink?:sneaky: And can anyone tell me when you feel almost back to normal by like what day?

Oh my god, you look great! Congrats! So besides lapband obviously what have you done, like what do you eat , do you exercise?

This is to anyone who has been banded for awhile! I am wondering how much weight are you pretty much guaranteed to lose even if you dont exercise? My surgeon, who by the way isnt the nicest man on the planet, says that unless you exercise like crazy you will only lose about 40lbs! I mean 40 is great and I do plan on exercising but come on now, we all tend to get lazy from time to time.... I just hope that i can lose enough to stop feeling so fatigued , so i can actually get my butt up to exercise!!!! 5 DAYS TO GO......:thumbup:

Just invision yourself healthy, thin and happy. Even take the time out to draw it on paper. The new you. Keep it in you purse or post it up if you'd like. You can do this. You want to do this. It is not impossible.

Thank you so much to the people who responded to my blog, I'm feeling better everyday, and not so hungry. I just keep repeating to myself that nothing tastes as good as thin feels!!!!!:thumbup:

:thumbup: I am one week away from surgery and im on that awful liquid diet. I dont think im gonna make it, im hungry!! I need motivation!!
