I am 33 years old and had lap band surgery on Oct. 12, 06. I am trying my best to adjust but it very hard. I found this web site thru my search engine, and felt like it would be a great help!!!!:help:

Hi welcome White! It will get easier to adjust to once you are off the liquids and onto the mushies. Just hang in there. The healing time is hard but you'll look back on it and it won't seem like it was that big of a deal eventually. Thank goodness you found this site, it has been a real plus for me!

hi new girl. the first month is the hardest. we all have to learn to adjust to our new way of eating. the longer you can stay on fluids the better you will heal. after a while you lose the desire to eat as much. the hunger will lesson slowly. at least it did for me. everyone seems to have their own unique experience with there band. you will lose the weight. just dont rush the healing stage. when i started to eat solid foods, i was cautious. i take a few small bites , wait and make sure they go down ok and then take another bite. i have to eat so slow. i drink Protein Shakes to keep up my energy and i take liquid vitamins and l-cartanine on a daily basis. good luck. get your rest too.
