Having trouble! Stressing!!

[ashleigh81 1]

I got my lapband 5 weeks ago tomorrow. I've been back to real food I think way to early! This last week I find I've been eating way to much!! It's all been healthy choices but I'm scared I have already ruined this and stretched my band!! I go for my first fill march 5th. Have I ruined my band already!? I have this lump about my big incision I thought it was the port but sometimes it's above some times it's below it. Someone please help!!

being able to eat more is totally normal. you dont have any Fluid in your band yet. call your doc if youre nervous, but you should be OK. good luck!

Are you weighing 3 oz of Protein and eating low cal/fat/carb only veggies? If you don't measure you will overeat.

You need to measure your portion sizes to be sure not to eat too much. Eating too large of a portion over time can stretch one's pouch.

What were your post op instructions for meals and portion sizes? Be certain to follow those instructions...compliance providesmpeace of mind.

Best wishes for a successful journey...

See I measure my food but am still hungry after so I eat more then I should. It's been 5 weeks and I am losing, I've lost 22 pounds. I'm just worried that ill mess my band up before I even get my first fill! I have to drive 3 hrs to get my fill and had a 4hr flight to get to the surgeon who did my surgery. So it's not like I can get that support to make sure everything's ok!

It stinks but you need to stop eating once your allotted food us gone! That's why this is a will power diet at the start.
