1 month tomorrow post-op

I have been lurking and gotten some good info. I decided to join since this seems like a great bunch of people. I went out of country to get my lap-band. Its been a month and I just got my first fill 3 days ago. This liquid diet is killing me! lol. If I could successfully stay on a liquid diet I wouldnt need the lap-band now would I? I am starting with some mushier foods and actually had some peanuts yesterday (altho they were chewed into Peanut Butter before they went down). I am so new that I don't even know what PB means... I have an idea and am lucky enough not to have experienced it yet. I did have some serious pain on Easter when I over ate and one time with some dry roast. Anyway, the name is Mary. Hi everyone :biggrin:

Hi Mary,

These forums are great, I have gotten a tremendous amount of reassurance and encouragement here. I was just banded last Friday, April 9th and so far so good. PB stands for productive burping....ughhh. I hope that by following the "rules" I can avoid that one as much as possible. I am still on full liquid diet and have no restriction in my band, other than swelling from the surgery. Hopefully we can get to know each other better and help each other along this Journey! :thumbup:
