first fill done...not feeling any restriction but not testing the limits either

After 32 days I feel no real restriction. I've scheduled my first fill for the 17th. I'm a little terrified I'll put any of this 30lbs back on. I'm tempted to go back to the pre op diet but I know I'm not suppose to so just trying to watch the calories and not let things just happen! How's it going with you?

Ready to get my first fill on the 17th, just have to pay attention until then

Wow! Your pictures are amazing! You've done such a wonderful job! I can't get over the total transformation you've made. I'm still pretty new (liquids for 2 more days) but it's because of people like you, who used their lapband as an effective tool, that have given me hope. Thank you and thanks for the awesome pictures!

The liquids are fine. But I have an uncontrollable urge to cook! My husband is starting to think I've gone a little wacko. Today I made a pimento cheese casserole, brushetta, crab casserole and corn salsa. None of which I can eat. I got yummy pureed corn bisque. 2 more days then I don't really know what to expect. I'm going to Tijuana mid August for my first fill. wish me...

Hi, you sound like me....I've been fantasizing about food too, lol. I'm on day 16 of the post op diet. Sounds like you're about to get to eat "real" food. let me know how that goes. Everytime I add something new (yogurt, cream soup, protein shakes) I get really nervous but then nothiung happens and I'm fine I'm planning to fly back to TJ for my first fill mid...

So proud of you, great work!

How are things going? Is your surgery scheduled yet? I'm day 16 post-op getting ready to schedule my first fill :/ Of course everyone here is so supportive and since I'm going back to TJ I think it'll go well.

Sorry you're feeling discouraged. I haven't been banded that long (16 days) but I can see how hard it is to stay realistic. I didn't even realize how easy I thought this would be. Hang in there. I wish I had been smart enough to have this done at your age.

I know your date is fast approaching. I just wanted to tell you it was a breeze. It happened so fast I didn't even know it was over. I thought 21 days of liquid would be hard but it's been a breeze and now that I can have different soups I'm having fun cooking new things. I drank the protein shakes for the pre diet so even though I could have them I'm not really anxious to. ...

That's amazing! Great Job!

So glad to hear your successes! I also lost all my extra weight with LA weight loss, I even worked there! Some of us just need an extra helper. I just had my surgery 7/1/10. It's great to have stories of those who have gone before to read, thank you
