    I'm here to help...

    Hi all! I am 23 days out and on creamy things, cream of soups, cottage cheese, yogert, clear juices and crystal light. I am ready to move on and ready to get a fill!!! I am starving shortly after drinking my protein shakes, and nothing else lasts as long as the shakes. I have eatin kids chicken nuggets(chewed into mush) and that has done great for me but again not for long and then I am starving again. I don't get my first fill for 2 1/2 more weeks and I am wondering should I call the Dr. and push up my appointment?

    WOW! I did it. Just a mear 23 days ago on 02/22/2010 I had Lap-band®. I made the commitment and now I am on my way. I know there will be highs and lows but I will keep on trucken to get and stay at my goal of 130 pounds. 42 more pounds to go. I started out at 209 and that's a loss of 37 pounds as is. The sweetest man I have ever know and the love of my life asked me if it was clothes shopping time? I had to inform my Honey Bunny that I bought stretchy pants before surgery so I could go for a while with out having to buy clothes. (laughing) I should have said yeap and gone a pre-bought jeans for myself for when I am skinny, but I just can't think that way. I am always just right here with the glimps of what can and will be but realisticly knowing I'm not there YET! But look out when I am!!!! I don't know what you'd have to look out for but...look out just in case. Loves to YA!!!

  7. Christine, I am 3 weeks out; banded on 2/22/10. I have lost 16 pounds post-op, and I have noticed 3 pounds over the last 4 days have creeped back on. I am all healed and the swelling is long gone. So....it seems some people put small amounts of weight back on before the first fill, and some don't (lucky dogs!). Chin up, walk tall and don't jump ship before the boat leaves the dock! Start 217 pound, pre-surgery 184, current 172 (was down to 168) Surgery Date: 02/22/10 Austin, Texas
  8. Hi all! I was banded Febuary 22, 2010! It was a rough week after my surgery. I have never been so sore like that. The gas effected the nerve in my left shoulder blade and lead to my neck. Every time I would breath I was in PAIN! I am no wimp and have a high tollerance for pain so this was shocking for me. Here I am 13 days out I feel amazing, I have lost 14 pounds and the swelling is starting to go down. Doc has me on clear liquids, cream of what ever soups, cottage cheese, jello's and puddings. I don't do sweets very well I need meet!!!! So, I did cheet...I just had to have the kids 5 peice chicken nuggets. It only took me an hour to eat them but It felt so good to chew something not slurp something. I ate slow and chewed it into mush before I swallowed. My next Dr. visit is April 1st, and I am praying for vienna sausages or something salty would be great. I will eat more nuggets, I can just see it. Soups & cottage cheese just don't have the flavor I'm so in need of, and the SMELLS of the clear broths like chicken and beef are making me sick to my stomache. So I have now gone against Dr.'s orders and feel a total heal. I didn't over do it or make myself sick I just wonder has anyone else honestly jumped the stage of Dr.'s recomendations on allowable foods?:thumbup:
