Just arrived home from my lap band procedure done 2 days ago Feeling sore and a little restless I have been posting responses to questions but have not received any replies wuould love to chat with recent postops

Congratulations! I was banded 7/20/05. Who was your surgeon? Any questions, please feel free to email me. All the best to you. Dee

H Dee Thanks for responding Went to Dr. Vohra at South Nassau Experience was ok but now I am feeling a little frustrated I miss chewing food and cant wait to go back to the Dr. this week and start on a soft diet Did you feel this way and how did you get past it? I am feeling a little cranky and have been fighting with my 15 year old daughter all day I know this feeling will pass but any advice how to get through this Thanks Shelly

Hi, I had my surgery January 24. I'm not on here much lately, but feel free to ask away! I'm down 116 pounds(from November '05 pre-op diet) and the only regret I have is not being banded sooner! Kristine

Hi Kristine Thanks for responding Your success is an inspiration. How did you get past the first few days of limited food intake ---liquids ---- and did you miss chewing on food? I knew to expect this and started on Optifast on August 9th and to date have lost 35 lbs. but right now I am feeling a little cranky. I see the Dr. this week and cant wait to start on soft foods Any tips for the first few weeks as far as eating and emotional stuff? Thanks Shelly
