I did IT

[Frances Laurele 0]

HI everyone,

I am new at this so bear with me. I was banded on the 17th of April 2007. So far except for some minimal pain I am doing ok. I have lost 16 lbs, no fills yet and I start pureed foods on the 7th. I have enjoyed the readings and they have answered many of my questions. I go for my first fill on May 30th, which I am very nervous about. Will keep in touch. :clap2:

I just had my lap band surgery on April 16th and, like you, have had no complications and am feeling great. Getting a little tired of the liquid diet. My surgeon keeps his patients on liquids for 4 weeks. How is the pureed phase going? I have lost 19 lbs. and looking forward to finally losing weight and keeping it off. Good Luck!!

:clap2: I am not on the puree food yet. I am suppose to start on the 7th. My Dr. wants me on liquids for at least 3 weeks. How strange though, I don't even feel hungry. I sometimes wonder if they put a chp in my brain so that I don't crave food. Where did you have you surgery done?

Oh, the first fill is nothing! I was so nervous I thought I would pass out, and then it was over with no pain in seconds! You'll be amazed.....

BetsyJane,

Thanks for the reassurance on the fill...I have been so nervous about this...makes me feel better to know that it is not that bad...I rest easier knowing this...

Welcome to LBT and to bandland! Fills have always been easy for me, no problems at all! Good Luck!

Thank all of you for the reassurance on fills. I am just discouraged I feel that being on liquids for so long I should have lost more. I guess I am just over anxious to finally be half of me. I must say I too would be standing outside with a spoon if it was raining Soup.< img src="https://s.bariatricpal.com/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="https://s.bariatricpal.com/uploads/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />
