Update 1 week post op for lap band blood surgars r down

I am finally past the stage of tears rolling down my face and am walking and doing stuff even if it kills me .. I did a target store run (I needed a blender as mine broke) and then I went to a eye apt and then saw a movie and I came home hurting .. Came home and took my loritab and anti nausea pill and went to bed and moaned all nite.. but the itching has arrived in full force ... OK i am taking this as a postive healing sign LOL I am pass the major deprerssion part Yeah!!!!!! U know what did I just do and I want to eat REAL FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT FULL LIQUIDS STAGE my blood sugar is way down I am able to keep my blood sugars 125 to 170 range with no diabetic meds yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fasting is going down but not where I want it but doc is ok with it considering no meds a week post op ..and stress from surgery does bring up sugar levels .. Weight loss so far is not as fast as I am hoping but then again I am down to 244 I was 257 10 days ago and I need to realize it is fat loss no****er weight lol Tummy looks swollen still so where there is swelling means their is more potential for weight loss I am thinking I am able to drink protien drink in about 2 hours.. 8 oz Now my question to anyone I do feel hungry some what but when I drink something I feel full first sip but I feel hungry werid feeling hungry in my head but full even when I take a sip .and I know I am empty . I cannot tell if I am full full... I just feel pressure and I stop when I feel that and I don't dare pu**** 1 oz in 15 mins is max ...I am unable to drink 64 oz of water no way .. lucky I get half of it down.. So how do u know u r full? I want to burb with the first swallow any suggestions? or ideas? Be well Lisa

Hi Lisa, I had my lap band done on the 6th of April, I am still out of work my choice I have lost 20 pounds and have not lost anymore in the last three days. I eat a little every couple hours and drink crystal light all day long. I can't drink 64 oz either but I do drink like 18 oz its very hard. I went for my 2 week check up and he said all my cuts look good but still swollen as well, they will go down in a couple weeks. I have made my first fill appointment for May 17th and I am scared about that. Right now I can eat Mashed potatoes, smashed broccli, stuff that is smushy. well about you feeling hunger, try to eat an ounce an hour see if that helps. good luck Tammy

wow 20 lbs that is encouraging ... Yeah I am so paranoid of getting anything stuck in my pouch i am afraid to try anything mushy yet.. I am not a fan of crystal light except rasberry on ice .. I was not a water drinker.. I do like thing hot and cold .. no problem ... I was told my first fill will be 6 weeks post surgery .. I see the doc may 3 2 week check up good to know u r doing so good Be well Lisa

sorry you are experiencing pain.i had my lap band done March 15th and i had no pain what so ever and i was eating regular food 5 days later.i guess everyone and every doctor is different.
