Well I'm new to the land of lapband. It's pretty exciting. I'm still in a bit of pain when I move but I can get comfortable.

I'm 23 and in Australia. Pretty excited about starting my new life. Please wish me luck on my journey :)

Hi there! I'm 2 days post op and feeling about the same as you. Had some pretty wicked gas pain yesterday even with walking, but better today. Actually not in much pain at all if I stay still. Best wishes to you on your journey!

Newbies, get up and walk as much as you can. Start out at 5 minutes every hour. That will help to get rid of the gas pain.

Congratulations and good luck. Keep us informed o. How you are doing!

Awesome! I had mine on 8/20/12 I am down 22 lbs. It was the best thing I ever decided to do. I had pain the first week. The more you can walk the better. I started at commercials I would get up and walk around my dining room table until my show started. I still have some problems bending over, but it is getting better. I am walking more and more every day and I am starting a Water aerobics class in a week. I get my first fill on Wednesday and am looking forward to it as I am hungry in between meals. Good luck to you. The hardest part is over.

Best of luck! I was banded on 09-06-12 and I agree with everyone on the walking. I am not having much pain other than when I drink something. When I drink anything (even water) I get pains and feel the need to burp. I am a huge Water drinker so it is weird not to drink a lot. The Protein Shakes seem to go down a little better.

      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.
