Topic: RE: Newly banded. Why isn't this working???
I personally have not been banded yet, looking at june, but my son-in-law was banded on feb.28 and he said he didn't feel restriction, but his food intake has really went down and he has lost about 46 lbs. he will gain a couple but he loses it in a day or so. Just thought i would mention that . he has been filled twice.

You count yourself lucky!!!! I 've been on liquids 31/2 weeks.
Dying for some chicken, tuna anything.
Maybe your pain and my left shoulder pain is a reminder not to overeat. I went down 14, but not much since surgery. I'm on day 9, I can barley feel the surgery.
Hang in there. Talk later/ Katie

I am glad to hear that you are finally getting the surgery. I, too, have heard so many negative comments about the lapband. I have friends with the lapband, but my doc was committed to the realize band and I am glad. Congratulations.

Katie, thanks for letting me know what to expect. I am on pureed, not the soft diet. It looks as if they are similar. I am looking forward to the soft though. For some reason I want crackers and tuna. LOL Go figure. I am very full and miserable at the moment. I ate mashed potatoes and an hour and 1/2 later I made a protein shake. Of course I didn't get through it all and I am miserable. This happened last night as well. I guess I am learning. It's not too painful, just feels like I ate too much at a buffet. Not a good feeling. I do find myself burping a lot. If I can burp, I feel much better. I am looking forward to day 7. My stomach is still swollen, but I am down 11lbs in two weeks and loving it. Good luck Katie.

Hi Purplelady,
CONGRATULATIONS, it's finally done, and your on your way. They told me 7 days and I'd feel great, and they were right on. 9 days and I feel wonderful.
I'm jealous your on soft foods, I have to wait two weeks from surgery.
I had trouble eating and drinking anything for 3 days, then little by little. Today I'm on the full post-op diet. The water is a *****. But, otherwise not hungry at all, and looking forward to mushies.
You might get hiccups, just ask anything and you shall receive knowledge.
Great going LADY, we are on our way.
