Quick Question

I am just over a week out since having the lap band put in.  I am meeting with my nutrionist on Tuesday to talk about what I can introduce to my diet.  I have pretty much been on a liquid diet since the day before surgery, and I am scared to put anything other than soft foods or liquids in my mouth, for fearing I am going to loose control over what I am eating...  Is this a normal fear?  Cause right now I am scared sh**less!  Right now I am doing well on what I am on, but what about afterwards? Thanks for listening.

I completely understand your anxiety.  But you can do this.  Take that fear and turn it into resolve to follow your nutritionist's plan.  You can work your band and be successful. 

Thanks Amy!

First off, congrats on your surgery!!!!  You're going to love it and do amazing!  I got the VBG with sleeve,  I know it's not the same surgery, but I also have a band on my stomach.  I was worried about the same things you were.... just make sure you use the band to your advantage.... you will get full really fast... Since I know that I Won't be able to eat much, when i have a craving i always try to eat something like fruit first  Once i've eaten the banana (or half of it) im full and don't want what i originally wanted!  Thats how I think i've kept away from bad foods and whatnot.  Don't worry though, you will do amazing! Good luck!
