This past weekend my daughter took time from architecture school and came home to cook me a full Thanksgiving dinner before I start the pre surgery diet. That was very sweet. Tomorrow I start the liquid diet. (raises glass to all fellow soon to be banders)http://www.lapbandtalk.com/images/smilies/modern/crying.gif

You've got a wonderful daughter! All my husband did was offer to take me out for a carb filled last supper. So we went to macaroni Grill :smile2:

Hello to all being banded and those who are, hope everyone is doing well!

I was banded on November 11th and am doing really well have lost 15 pounds already an the liquids weren't as bad as i thought they would be and really not hungry at all, the mind game though was pretty rough when seeing good food and not being able to have it . I get to start mushies tomorrow very excited :tt2: to have something other than a liquid dinner. I had no pain in any of my insicions and they are healing great, the gas pains in the shoulder where worse than i ever thought they would be, but made sure i got GasX before surgery like everyone suggested.

My questions is, the only pain i have really had from the surgery is where my port is, the pulling sensation is very uncomfortable. How long does this last and did anyone else have this same issue? Also how long before anyone was able to sleep on their side or stomach without any pain from the port?

Thanks

I have the same pain! I went to the doc today and he told me it was normal. I can lay on either side and back now but not stomach. I have been taking my ice pack to work with me so I can ice through the day and that has helped. I was banded Nov 3rd. I have lost 13lbs to date...other wise things are going great! I go back on Dec 1 to get my first fill.
