I had my lapband on December 29, I'm in my puree stage of diet. I'm still in some pain, mostly where my port site is and I get tired pretty quickly. I have my post op visit on Monday, I may ask doc to give me one more week of rest before going back to work. So far about 20lbs down since pre-op diet

Hello I am back at work at now eating some foods. I did eat a little fast yesterday and made myself sick. I am doing pretty well. I have more energy.

I hope you feel better. Taking another week is a good idea. Just take your time. Everybody is different

Was your incision where your port is stay sore for awhile? I'm kinda concerned that it still hurts after a week...

[mpeters2011 5]

[kellhale33 11]

I think my fill is that same week as well. I feel a lot better, I already feel quite a bit of restriction when I eat . I'm done wish mooshy food, just have to chew real good and slow it down before bites. Full after eating 3 pieces of soft chicken breast

Wow im still on liquids. My dr does 4wks post. Im so done with liquids. I just want to hit the pureed foods

[kellhale33 11]

to Mpeters do you feel restriction on the amount you can eat already? I deffinately can, I have to remember slow bites and smaller or feel sick real quick.
