So I went and had sushi and I took one bite with the rice ate the center and threw the rest away now if you really like one roll tell the owner cause i like the spicey crab roll and they said they would serve me a plate of just the filling since its hard for me.. its worth a shot..

My doctors told me to walk an 15 mins an hour if i wasnt sleeping to get the gas from the surgery out.. if you feel in pain in your shoulders or neck the gas is moving walking takes it all away.. Congrats again on your surgery..

The first week is up and down and you may feel hungry but stick to the diet they give you its to heal you internally. Dont get discourage if its hard this is life changing and we will go through bumpy roads here and their.. i wish you the best of luck on your weight loss journey and on to a new and healthy life. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me..

So everything is going smooth.. Im eating real food... thank goodness.... a week earlier then planned but i healed well and under cup keeps full for 4hrs.. So to me thats a sign the band is working yay!!!! So im down 36 lbs.. and feeling better i have now lost more then 10 % of my weight.. what a difference.. My doctor wont realease me to work till the 25th of july that will be 4 weeks.. i feel so good i wish i could work right now. But my job wont let me go back till the doctor release me... So I have been working out alot.. walking, hiking etc.. since i have two more weeks i guess im going to take advantage and work out alot and maybe be even a size smaller before i go back to work I will keep you posted on how this goes.. Thankyou to everyone for all your support. :rolleyes2:

Thank you.. So seems like we pretty close surgery dates.. let keep each other update on our success and our hard times to keep each other going...

So I started at 314 pounds. Did the pre op diet and lost 20 lbs. Now post op i have lost 11 more pounds in the first week. Down a total of 31 lbs.. I feel great! im walking more and down a size and and all my cloths fit better.. Excited to see what the future has in store. :frown:

So my girlfriend and i are both banded we always start with an order of sashmi we love salmon. then we ordered one roll and pick at a little and some times take the top layer off and eat the middle.. my gf can eat the rice no problem however i cant .. for a special occasion i will eat a roll but to be on the lap band plan as they say we should stay away from white rice. my doctors says if i eat pasta or rice just make sure its whole wheat. But for me i love sushi i crave all the time so i talked to my resturant and the said they will give me a plate of just the filling since hard for me so talk to them they make work with you.. Good luck on your journey it will be awesome.

Dr Simpson is a very nice man. and a good surgeon my girlfriend went to him and he is very quick and transactional. I needed to hand held thru my journey so i went to Dr Fang and Dr Juarez at st lukes great staff and they help you with the insurance approval the whole way. Another reason I switched is my insurance covered the whole thing no out of pocket and dr simpson office still tried to get me to pay 1000 for after care and that was included in mine..

I put my choclate premier protein shake in my coffee and it tasted really good. I didnt have to add any sugar or creamer or anything.. Though Im on the liquid protein diet pre surgery for two weeks so i cant anyway.. Im down 20 lbs in a week. Can't believe it. I am a bit hungry though..

Hey Im Tracey new to the site myself.. Im from Phoenix Arizona. Im going to be banded 06/25/10.. Im so excited too.. I wish you the best and it would be cool to share our jouney.

I agree i have been drinking Premier Protein from costco for my pre op diet and they are awesome.. I dont dread drinking them.
