Hi , first time posting & I would like to know if anyone out their has gained weight with Lapband surgery ?
I had my 3rd fill in November 07 & all was great until about 3 months ago when I started eating unhealthy things & before I knew it I had gained back 15 lbs, any thoughts or ideas on this would sure help.

Hi!
I will also being having my Lap RNY the 23rd! I can't wait, even though I'm a bit nervous.
My post-op "diet" sounds a bit like yours. Although, my thinking right now is that if I can do this 2 week pre-op diet, then the one after shouldn't be too bad. We will see! lol.
Topic: RE: taste in mouth
First before you run off and call your Dr. ask yourself if you have started to lose weight rapidly recently. If you have then you have what is called ketosis. you will have a metalic taste in your mouth, and even your body odor might get a little funky. This is normal with WLS when you lose body fat rapidly and be glad for it, cuz then you know your body is burning fat!!

Well, good luck to you, too! 
Have you gotten your diet instructions for post-op yet? I saw my dietician on Tuesday & she gave me the diet for the first 6 weeks. Looks like all I'll be doing for the first week is timing my intakes! I'll have 3 protein drinks plus 2 "snacks" each day & I'll have to take 2 tablespoons of protein drink, then wait 15 minutes & have 2 tablespoons of water, then wait 15 minutes & repeat until the protein drink is consumed. Sounds really intense to me, but at least that's only for the first week.
Are you having many second thoughts? I think I'm pretty much over that, just trying to deal with some of the fears of the actual surgery. I'm ready to get on with the "new" life!!!!
Hugs,

Topic: Lower Back Pain on Liquid Diet?
I am on day 12 of my liquid diet--my RNY is scheduled for Monday (today is Friday) and I have had horrible lower back pain that is radiating into my legs. I had this pain once before when I was first on Atkins years ago. Could this be my kidneys? Toxins being eliminated from my system? I also have diarrhea. I can't take ibuprophen. I am trying to drink a ton of water to flush my kidneys. Any ideas?
