I was extremely nervous about the procedure, but it was over in a flash once I drank the barium.   The Dr. will have to push quite a bit on your stomach which will be the worst of it. I'm still frightened if anything touches that area. HA!  You'll be fine and no xanax will be needed. LOL You'll leave with a band-aid and a smile on your face! 

I'm glad you're starting to feel better!  I'm good!  I am excited to be hitting the 2 week post-op point and starting to try some new foods.  Sheesh!  There are only so many protein shakes and cups of broth I can take!

I've heard the same thing.  I'm 2 weeks post op almost and also feel better and like I could eat something regular.  I'm very afraid though!  My doc. put me on 2 weeks of liquids and 2 weeks of pureed, so I'm totally following the rules, just for fear of messing up the healing of the band.  I DID put some hard boiled egg and mayo in the magic bullet today and made a sort of mushy egg salad.  I was dying for something different.  Good luck...  I've read a lot that this is the time period where it's hard to have the will power and perserverance! 

I went for my 1st fill yesterday and was pretty freaked out by it all, but I'm feeling great today!  I hopefully will be back on my regular diet by Sunday. Anyone have any stories for me about your first lap band fill?

Hiya, i had my op on the 12th, todate i've lost 28 lbs so far, so i'm feeling really good. I stalled for 11 days then the scale started to move again. I'm eating very similar food to you and will this week introduce other foods as today is my 4th week post op. I dont finish all of the 64 oz liquid and i have about 3 meals a day if i'm lucky. I'm going to try to increase to 6 small meals a day. I eat about 4-5 tablespoons of food at a time. Keep up the good work, you are doing absolutely great!
