Delay Between Eating And Feeling Full
You only eat to be satisfied not to get full. Measure your food and only eat a half cup right now until you are used to it.

Day 6 Post Op
Well that is quite agressive for a fill from the beginning. I mean really my doctor put 5 ccs in to make sure the band inflated but then it was removed. I dont like agressive doctors they set you up to fail. Once you are filled you have nothing to work with. I wouldnt let him do that again. Go slow.

Friends With Benefits? How Do You Feel About It?
No why should I give everything away and get nothing in return. You know that saying why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free. Especially now in this day in time with 1 in 7 adults being HIV positive and 1 in 4 having STD's hell to the no. No way not even with three condoms on his you know what.

Weight Loss On Pre-Op Diet
I work on a surgical floor and we dont make people take wedding rings off. Only piercings and other jewelry. Its more common then you think for them to be covered up with bandaids.

Brand New To The Lap Band World.
I say as long as you can stuff it in some garments its all good. Your stomach is probably still having some gas. It seems to happen a lot. Hang in there.

Stuck
Maybe if you up your protein to about 90 grams that might help. I think your getting too little protein in at this point.

Finally My Ahahah Moment!!! Any Advice???
You can take tuna or chicken salad. I love ocean cafe crab cakes. I would make sure you pack lunch the night before. Egg salad is good too. I am pretty much a vegan so I cant help much with meat choices.

Decaf To Regular Coffee
Some people are allowed to drink regular coffee. I was told never but that is my surgeon and they are all different. I would call and ask them.

Considering Lap-Band
and good luck on your decision

Considering Lap-Band
No my port does not show through my skin. I can feel it but I think you would have to become rail thin to even have it stick out that much. None of my fills ever hurt. More pressure then anything. Yes I think it will help for a lifetime I have only had two fills in three years Yes I lost some hair and still do three years post op but its nothing you can physically see. The only issue I have had is not being able to eat or tolerate meat. I have become a vegan but its all good I dont mind being a vegan
