3 weeks post op

It has been three weeks since I had my Lap Banding . On my scale I have lost 25 lbs. I will see when I go for my second post op visit on Monday. I had a very UNeventful experience from the start. Everything has been great. I am used to eating mush,but I don't care because the pounds are coming off. I am feeling better, walking everyday and starting to feel more optimistic about my success. only had one unpleasant experience with food. I was dying for a hot dog...WHY???I dont know but pureed it ,,hmmm delicious and only ate half of it. For three hours I felt like I had a balloon inside which was going to burst.. That was a great lesson that I hope I won't repeat. Other than that, things have been very smooth. I am planning to attend my first post op meeting on Tuesday, I think.... Has anyone gone to them? Do you find them helpful?? I have really become so much more aware of the void food filled that it doesn't now!! Continued good luck to everyone. Drena

I am also 3 weeks postop from lap band. I have lost 28 pounds. I have gone down fron a size 22/20 to a comfortable 18, yet I feel the same. I still feel fat. THe bulges are still there but maybe smaller. When people say I look great it makes me feel uncomfortable because I do not feel like I look great yet. I am very anxious to be minus 50 pounds or more. My husband tells me that I am impatient. It took a long time to get to the point of getting the surgery so I want immediate gratification. Hopefully you are dealing with things a lot less emotionally then I. Good luck
