1week post-operative for lap-band

I would like to thank everyone for their help through my operation. I just had my surgery on 2/9 I hope that I am not over doing. I hope the hunger feeling goes away I am on water and protein shakes. I have to go for my first fill on 2/28, does that hurt? I haven't had any pain I am walking about 1-2miles a day. I am nervous about eating anything when the doctor says its ok, I don't want to get sick. I am also nervous about eating to much I hope I know when to stop?

Hi Penelope, I am 6 days post op, I live in Groton Ct. I too am on water and slim fast. Ya rah !!! Girl I am hungry too, it is getting better and I really don't think I am hungry but everything smells and looks so good. Have you noticed more food comersials on tv as well. My two week apt. is next thursday and to be honest it can't come quick enough, I can't wait to start eating and learning what I can eat. I just think I need the sensation of chewing. How are you feeling otherwise, if I could deflate my stomach from all the gas I think I could run a marathon race, I feel great physically. Now emotionally is a different story, I cry at the drop of a hat and I am an emotional wreck. Have you weighed yourself, I have YIKES !!! I am a scalaholic lol.... not sure if my scale it right or not ? I went into surgery at 298 and am down to 278 hmmmmm seems like an awful lot and not even a week and I can't even see it..... LOL OK FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME TARA K.

I had my surgery about 10 days ago too. Had my first post-op check up. One more week of liquids then I can start mash foods for 2 weeks. Unfortunately my first fill is not until March 24. My surgeon likes to wait 6 weeks post op. The last two days, I've been a lot hungrier. My doctor said I could have low carb soup. I found cream of brocolli low carb and feel like I had a meal. They said I will probably feel hungry until my first fill. No I just have to keep making the right choices. Down 13 pounds. Sounds like you are doing awesome.
