Banded July 15th, so far so good but I am pretty much able to eat just about anything I want???? I do not feel any restriction at all??? My first fill is Aug 15th, maybe it will be different then??? I am definitely watching what I eat, eating smaller portions and only eating 3meals per day with no "Grazing" I have lost 8 lbs since my actualy surgery day and to date since July 1st when I started my pre surgery diet I am down 15 lbs. Can anyone else pretty much eat what they choose??? I honestly don't feel like I have even had surgery??? HELP

Hi there, I was banded on July 12th, I go in tomorrow to get staples out. I feel like you do, I don't feel restricted. Although I eat small amounts and make sure to get my Protein in. I think after we get a fill it will be different. Plus, I don't feel like I'm starving, and I eat very small amounts. I lost 15 lbs. in 10 days!!!!! That has made me so happy! Good luck.

I was banded on july 15. what do u mean u can easy anything u want? Are u eating solids? U should just be getting off full liquids and moving to pureed foods. Did your doctor not educate u that until your first fill you are healing and thats why u eat liquids... I have lost 21 pounds since my surgery.... I have followed my diet and I have

restriction... U might not have restriction because u have already stretched your pouch out. If ur dr did not give u guidelines, I suggest u go to lapband.com and follow theirs. The band is a lifetime commitment to change your relationship with food. U have to make the commitment and use the band as a tool for the journey.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
