Welcome Sue
I have not had the surgery yet - scheduled for april 18th. I have noticed that there is less activity on the monthly message boards. You might get more answers to your question on the main message board. If you click on the link at the top of the page beside Q & A postings in tiny letters that takes you to the main board.
Good luck
Mari
Hi Sue,
Glad your doing okay. I had my lapband on the 5th. I am feeling very good but I am hungry alot more than I thought I would be. I am not one for pureed foods so I have been eating Instant Mashed potatoes with gravy and that has been doing the trick. Not the best diet food but I think overall I am hardly eating so it should be okay. Glad you found the site, I have found this site to be a big help to me. I lost 11 lbs. the first week from the liquids. I'm sure my mashed potates will slow that down alot.
Best of Luck,
Debbie
Hi deb,
congrats to you too, i have gained more confidence since my op now with food, didnt take me long eh ? yeah im ok with different things now myself , and lucky for me ive not been sick once, keep my fingers crossed, ive lost 10lbs up to now,but now ive found more good foods, the naughty ones, but we will see how i go, im still eating nowhere near i did before so its bound to drop off,its great to hear others stories, yeah im full of gas too, esp when i eat anything.
