My surgery date was 3-14-08 starting weight was 354. I am currently down to 324 (Praise The Lord). Had my first fill today and am back on liquids for three days, then soft food for three days, and then back to regular food. I was wondering if anyone else fills bloated at times with the lap band. I hear my stomach making noises and wondered if this was common with lap band patients...

I can't answer your question about the bloating; I'm pre-band. But I'd like to congratulate you on your weight loss! :thumbs_up:

I was banded on May 23rd and I have been doing alot of cardio and lost 19 lbs so far. I am getting more and more hungry and am looking into getting my 1st fill earlier than my June 29th appt. But as for the noise and stomach rumbling I also have it ALOT...I am not sure what its caused by but It causes me no disomfort and I dont feel or look bloated. I exercise alot so this may help my bloating I think. I do drink way more Water than they reccomend too.

My first fill wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. So far I have had no problems at all since surgery. I just wish I could have had surgery before. I feel better and the weight loss is helping take pressure off of my back. I hope you do well and good luck to you on your journey.

      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.
