Well I hate to say it but I am glad I am not the only one who is still in bandster hell. I am 5 weeks post op and there is NO RESTRICTION - hunger and craving is at an all time high and to boot I am not motivated to exercise. The weather is cold and I can't sleep well (apnea), so I am tired. I am hoping that the weight loss (whenever it decides to show up) will eliminate the apnea, then I will have more energy, then I can exercise. I would just like to get moving on this new life of mine . . .GRRRRRRR BTW my first fill (I am hoping) will be February 2nd.

Hey Moe I was told there is a possibility you may not tolerate milk after being banded, I was never told that we could NOT have it at all. I happen to be lactose intolerant so I dont drink milk. I use soy milk for my protein shakes and its awesome, I buy the light which taste really go to me. It is a very good substitute if you dont drink milk or you are not allowed. Best of Luck to you!

I'm hungry, I just want to chew something . . . grrrrrr:cursing: Tuesday soft diet and Doc appt, back to work on Monday:crying: I'm hangin in there though. HAPPY NEW YEAR DEC, 09' BANDSTERS & WELCOME NEWBIES!:smile2:

Hi Lisa: Congratulations! The pain will be gone before you know it. The first day home is the worst and I think us late thirty and forty somethings are a bit slower at recovering. Im post op 9 days and although I am pain free, I am still pretty fatigued. Hang in there the recovery is actually pretty fast!

The doc says I can start real foods. I had a 2 and half hour nutrition class and she checked my stiches. All was good. I've lost 9 lbs. since surgery. They want me on all foods by the time they try and fill me. She also said no more Volterin for now but if I really need it to take Prilosec with it.

Don't be discouraged, I know how you feel, I was hungry coming out of surgery and confused! We have to remember that this is a time for healing that is the PRIORITY, once our bodies heal and everything sets as it should then we can begin the real journey. We don't want to mess that up right now by being discouraged or moving ahead to soon before our bodies are ready. Like Grandma used to say "this too shall pass"

We were banded the same day - I can't start mushies for another week. :smile: So jealous (but happy for you :biggrin:), I did call my doctor's office today to make sure and they confirmed it! Oh well, I am doing okay, not too much hunger, I bought some Carnations instant breakfast and it is really good, I put all natural peanut butter in it with soy milk and extra protein powder. Anyway I hope it goes well for you!

I was schedlued for the 22nd but they moved me up to the 16th because I had lost enough weight.
