After many months of of agonizing about having the LAP-BAND® surgery, my wife and I had the surgery 10 days ago. After 4 days of liquid diets we slowly (quickly) started adding solids. We are really trying to be careful but eating is easy. I feel no discomfort or pressure. We started off with scrambled eggs, baked fish and tuna salad. We actually had a small piece of pizza last night at our daughters birthday. Other than eating smaller portions, I feel no different than before the surgery. ...

Had my surgery on wed 0ct. 11th... I made it throught o.k...........I had a haitel hernia fixed too...... came home on friday evening.
It's sunday nite, still on a liquid diet and taking the pain medicine. Feeling very weak and wondering what i can eat. please tell me something that taste good. I'm already tired of broth.

Does anyone know where to buy unflavored protein. I found a good protein shot with 24 grams of protein from walmart.. it's tastes pretty good.

Well I will have my bandiversary this week. Hard to believe. I keep thinking about what I was doing a year ago and how I felt and how hopeful and excited and scared I was. I was so afraid that this wouldn't work. Would I spend this money and not do what I had to do. I knew it would be hard, but what if I failed? I wouldn't have anything to hide behind. I would have pulled out all the stops and still weighed 285 lbs and stood at only 5'4". Okay I am still 5'4", but now am about 170-175...

I am 3 weeks out and feeling a little lost.
I haven't lost any weight in about 10 days but I am only eating fish and veggies for b-fast cottage cheese and fruit. The Dr. wanted me to stay on protein shakes for as long as possible but I felt like I was feeling weak from not having any food.
I think that I am feeling a little depressed too! I can sleep all the time. Today I went walking on the beach and I think that helped.
It has taken me a while to get my energy back. I thought...
