Hi!!!! I got my lap band "my baby" on 11/12 with dr. Rami lutfi in Chicago. I love this app and so far everyone I've encountered have been wonderful!!! I'm looking for a buddy or mentor who I can chat with!

I was banded on 11/10 at Day One by Dr. Ellie. Surgery was a lot quicker than I thought. I also had my hernia repaired so the healing is taking a little longer.

I think I may have went back to work too early. My biggest cut kinda hurts, mostly because I picked up a grocery bag. I know very stupid on my part. So far my hungry is not too bad. Between shakes and tuna or baked fish I get up to about 800 calories a day.

Oh no. I hope you're feeling a little better. I was going to go back to work 5 days after surgery but I had to go back to the hospital and I just took that as a sign to stay home another week. I'm sure the boss isn't happy about it but oh well!! Ugh I wish I could eat fish or tuna!! I'm still on a liquid diet and next week I get to progress into mushy food for another two weeks, and then I can have soft solids!!! My hungries are killing me!! :'(

      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.
