Hi I was Banded on Sept 12th and I am like you I can feel it when I eat sugar free pudding or Jello. I also went to Target and bought me these 3oz plastic Solo cups they are like the ones you use in the bathroom for a small drink. Since I use them it helps me know how much Fluid I am putting in my body so that I do not over do it and get to full. I even use it for the Jello or the cream of wheat. I have not once been sick or nauseated. I also just went to the doctor for my ten day check up and I lost 10 pounds and have already lowered my blood pressure. I also wanted to tell you about this Protein Drink I bought it is called Pro 5 and it is the best tasting Protein drink I have ever had it also mixes very well with a shaker cup with a cold bottle of Water and there are no clumps. So this is perfect if you are working. I mix it with 6oz of Water then I have gotten in 34 grams of Protein. You will have to look it up online and find out who distributes it in your area.

HI Everyone,

I was banded on september 16 and now when I drink my protien drinks or eat jello I can feel it going down, stop and then finishing going down. However when I drink water, tea or anything else I feel nothing Is this normal? Also with having the band how can you tell your are "full" since it is all liquid. I tend not to drink very much lately because I don't know what that feeling I'm looking for is and I don't have much of a desire to consume ANYTHING. Any advise or knowledege would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you guys. I started off in a tight 24. I'm only 5' 1", and weighed 263. My surgery date was feb 23 and I'm down 58 lbs. It felt at the time like I would never see this victory and you all know what a struggle it can seel like at times.

That's awesome! Keep up the good work. I have just been banded on the 12th of September and have lost 7 pounds this past week and hope it keeps going well for me.
