We have the same band date, and YES!!! I feel almost no restriction, and am losing slowly. I hope I can get a fill soon.

I too was banded on 5/6 and am getting hungry. I am still on full liquids until 5/27, then pureed foods for 2 weeks. My first fill is scheduled for June 27. I hope I don't gain back what I lost by then. Even on liquids I have stopped loosing. :rolleyes2: Hang in there!!!

Hi all,

I am fairly new to this website and have enjoyed reading everyone's posts and experiences with the lap-band. I am from Waco, Tx. Not quite 40, but will be 40 in July, so I didn't think I really fit in the 30's group. I am actually looking forward to the 40's because they are the beginning of the REAL me.

What I mean is, I have lived my life for everyone else but me and now it is my time to be selfish and put myself first. Not everyone is on my side in regards to having the lap-band surgery, but I am thankful to have found this site for the support.

I will be banded on May 30th in Plano, Tx. I am so excited and can't wait. I went for my first appt this past Tuesday and since I am self-pay, was able to get my surgery right away.

I started liquids yesterday and I am starving. I feel like what I imagine someone going through withdrawals feeling. I guess I am withdrawing from my former unhealthy life. I am sure it will be well worth it. But for now, I have a killer headache. Any suggestions? Need help fast.

What kind of shakes are you doing?... Make sure they have a good amount of protein... and drink drink drink water....This will help with the headaches... Sometime a little broth will help too... If all else fails... Tylenol

it's amazing how different the post op diets are. I was on full liquids week one, mushies week 2 and started regular food week 3. I seem to tolerate everything fine, but wish I was back to that no hungry feeling from week 1! I've lost 20 lbs including the pre-op Atkins diet but didn't lose anything this week since I started back on regular food. I am looking forward to getting my first on Tuesday afternoon!!! Although I am a little scared too. When do you go for your first fill?

Gralda, I am just like you! My post op diet was exactly the same, and I have not lost since starting on solids, even though I am eating significantly less than pre-Band. I went to my 2 week follow-up today, and I am healing well. BUt I can't get a fill untilJuly. I hope that when I can start exercising more, the weight will come off, even slowly...

But I do feel great!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
