I figured I would help you with some advice.I had my surgery done 8/8.It is scary the day of surgery.I lost 8lbs with my 3 day liquid diet.Then after surgery you gain liquid weight back so don't be alarmed.Hopefully you get to stay the night in the hospital.You will be sore from the surgery for about a week.You will not be hungry at all for about a week or longer after surgery.I could not even get 2 drinks of protein shake down after surgery,,make sure you sip water allot so you don't get dehydrated..I got my 1st fill today I have lost 20lbs in 6 weeksmy dr said that most people don't loose that much* but i have been on the tread mill like crazy**..Just take it easy 1-6 week's let your body heal.You will be hungry and will be able to eat anything untill your first fill.prior to your first fill the band is there just not doing anything,.,so don't get discouraged with little weight loss till you have your first fill..i will keep you posted in the weeks now that i have had my first fill.if u need anyting just email me..thanks..jennifer..
