Hello All! I am new to this site! I recently had the Lap Band Surgery on 3-4-10. I endured the wonderful liver diet before surgery and that made me really believe in myself. If I can do that, then I can do this. I would love to hear any suggestions or just anything that would help me with my journey. I will be happy to anwser any questions about what I have been through so far.

:sad:

Welcome to the madhouse and great attitude! Keep it up!!

I was banded 2 days before you. So, we'll pretty much be experiencing this new life together.

Hi and welcome to the group..I too have just recently been banded 24th Feb 2010...and am also from Australia (NSW)..

I am going well no problems at all still on Musshie food hopefully off next week (see the dietitian Monday) I have lost 1 kilo a week so far and am very pleased with this , don`t feel hungry although I don`t think its anything to do with the band yet as I haven`t had a fill and I know I could eat more if I wanted but I am following the diet very strictly as I want this to work and feel very happy about the choice I have made ...

Best of Luck to all us newly banded members it will be a help to keep in touch and see how we are all doing ....

I too am newly banded on the 9-3-10. Just wondering if any of you got a really bad interjestion type feeling?? When did all pain subside??

I never had any actual pain. The gas was gone in less than 3 days.

No indigestion at all either. What are you eating that may be causing it? I was on liquids for a week after surgery.

My surgeon has me taking Pilosec for 30 days starting the night before surgery. So, I am having no problem heartburn.

Nope a little burping the first couple of days ..no pain no indigestion...

I too was on liquids for the first week and now am on mushies (blended foods) going into the second week ..

The only thing I had was soreness and that was just for the first 3 or 4 days which I spend most of my time sleeping or napping ..

I am sure you will start to feel better real soon , if not you should contact your team(Dietitian or surgeon)..

Best of Luck..
