I had Lap Band surgery on February 25th as well. Everything went well. I was released from the hospital the following day. I had to have two hernia repaired so I have some soreness from the hernia repair but other then that I feel great. I am looking forward to becoming an active member in the losers club.

For those of you that may know June, her surgery was this morning and all went well!! She was still in recovery this evening but only because was no bed available. She will be in a room tomorrow at Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater and out in a few days!! Congrats June!! See you next month at the support group meeting!! Anne

My life changed FOR THE BETTER!!!!!! Today is my surgiversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's to the next 6 good years!!!!! -Jamie

Hey Sandi! I'm having head hunger as well. Mine is for a nice piece of chicken. I can't wait to be put on pureed food. Never thought I would look forward to drinking a chicken breast! LOL One thing that I have found is I can't stand anything sweet. I tried SF Jello and it was entirely too sweet. Tried a popsicle and just about gagged. I guess that will come in handy later on if it lasts. But I will admit a nice cheesy pizza sounds good. LOL

Hello Michelle, I had my surgery done on the 13th also. I have been experiencing head hunger from the day I got home. I say it was some kind of withdrawel from the meridia that I was taking to curb my appetite. After reading your post maybe not. I eat cream of wheat and yesterday I changed from non fat to 1% and started to experience a little clammy feeling. Probably small umping. Being the kind of guy I am i did it again just to see if it really has the same effect and it does. Of course I hate to toss out the milk because here in hawaii it's $9 a gallon. I did optifast for 2 weeks before surgery. So far I am down about 45 lbs. We must be on track. I asked my surgeon about the hunger and how I eat SF popsicles to satisfy. He is fine with that as the popsicles contribute to my water intake and they are only 10-15 calories per. I went back to work on my 3rd day post op. I run a transportation company. I am now back into ful swing driving and all. I also had my Gall Bladder taken out and had a bellybutton hernia removed all on the same day I feel good and I might add I look good too. I hope we can stay in contact. It will be interesting to see how we both progress. Aloha
