WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444 Posted December 2, 2016 What were you told by the surgeon? One thing should have been not to lift things over five lbs. Press a bed pillow firmly against your incisions to minimize the jolt of coughs, sneezes, laughs. Best wishes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Treadmillwalker 486 Posted December 2, 2016 My lapband surgery was outpatient. I remember being tired the first couple of weeks. I missed chewing until I was allowed to eat tuna, egg salad, etc. Stay away from carbs. I read about people eating noodles and mashed potatoes. That defeats what we are trying to accomplish. Good luck! Had lapband surgery 10/12/16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
