I had my lap band and hernia repair 4/11 , I feel great today , my soreness has subsided and the best part is my clothes they feel lose , I did get on the scale this morning and I have lost a total of 14lbs , I know it's not a lot , but I am happy this is really happening, the only question I have is yesterday I did eat some chicken from my Soup and it hurt so bad cause I did not chew it all it even caused pain in my shoulders and hiccups is this normal ?

Yes it's normal. However, if you are unsure- you should check with your doctor. It's great about your weight loss!

not sure what your doctor said but mine said only liquids with nothing in them for the first couple of weeks...because we are swollen down there...I had a hernia repaired as well with my band. maybe try straining your Soup so you are only getting the broth...hope you feel okay!!!

ooh, sorry to hear that. Not chewing my food good enough is one of my biggest fears. My post op instructions say to do only liquids for the first 7 days. I was banded on 4/11. I've had cravings to eat something and made bean Soup. Then I blended it.

I hope you feel better soon but, you ma want to contact your doctor.
