Lynne,  Hello.  I had my lap band surgery on 11/10/11, a day after you.  I hope that your surgery is working well for you.  My loss has been slow since the surgery, but I have not had a fill yet.  Maybe we can keep in touch.  Michelle.

 Hello surgery date buddy!  I'm doing ok. I promised myself no regrets in the first month. I'm having a horrible time getting protein and fluids. Just generally stressed out because I've had an aversion to protein shakes since surgery. 
How are you doing?

hi everyone! 

I'm 6 days out and doing really well.  I don't have to take my oral diabetes medication anymore!   I still have a good bit of swelling to my abdomen, particularly in some pretty unattractive pockets around the largest of my lap incisions.  The tenderness gets better everyday, though.   I'm looking forward to returning to work tomorrow (I'm an RN but I have a desk job now, no lifting at all).

Hope everyone is doing very well, check in and share!

 Just wondering how many, if any, others had VSG the same day as me and how you are all doing :) Also wondering what sorts of food you all can eat. I'm still on full liquids, but have been having a 1/4c-1/2c of cottage cheese (small curd) a day to supplement my protein. The protein drinks I had were good pre-op, but now make me gag - all of them. So now I'm on Slim-Fast and so I have to supplement. Going to talk to my surgeon about that tomorrow! 

I hope all of you - if there are any! - are doing well with your new stomachs! I'd like to hear from you!

Good luck...you are the day before me!  I only have to do a week of the liquid stuff (I'm so glad).  I'm on day 2 and i'm ready for a steak...LOL.  Not much longer for both of us...then the real fun begins!!!   Have a great weekend!
