Banded on August 20th

Hello everyone,

My name is Amanda, I am 30 years old and I got the Lapband last week on August 20th at Portsmouth Naval Hospital. The crazy gas pains have subsided a bit and I am more mobile now. I am having headaches, but I assume that is due to lack of calories. I am trying to make sure I drink my 2 Protein Shakes per day and have been drinking a Soup or two during the day. I know this will all get better with time, just looking forward to that time!!

hi, welcome to LBT.

make sure you arent getting dehydrated also.... that can cause headaches... if necessary, FORCE yourself to drink...

Hi, Amanda!

HoOrAy for you! Good luck...let's do this together!

My name is Kim, I am 31 yrs old and I was banded on 8/20 as well! I am not in too much pain anymore, just sore and the shoulder pain is just about gone. I'm a little worried, though, because I am getting hungry between meals already. In fact, I ate some solid food tonight and did not feel tight or sick at all. =(

hi Kim,

how are you feeling today? i am feeling better. just had my morning Protein shake. I am not feeling hungry between really, but if people are eating around me, I do with I could have some. But I have not slipped yet and eaten anything. I am too afraid of having my stomach have to churn something up to digest it and it affect the pouch. I am much more afraid of that than anything. What types of Snacks are you eating?
