  1. I'm sure you'll be perfectly fine. It just ft like I took a really deep breath and that was that! You should have zero downtime. Good luck and hand a safe trip.
  2. I'm about 1000 calories a day and drink about 100 oz. of water and 45ish grams of protein a day. Nothing has changed in my eating or exercise habits, the only thing different is that I got a full. I find it strange that I was doing so well with only the plication and now that I have my band tightened I'm doing worse not better on my weight loss. How can getting a fill make me hungrier, eat more at a time not less, and not lose weight?
  3. I had my first fill last Thursday 9/6, and I haven't gained or lost anything since then. I had been losing 3 lbs a week on average with just the plication. I havent felt as full as I had been feeling before this fill either. Im worried I'm not going to get back on the losing track. Haven't called the dr yet but I'm going to. Anyone else have this reaction?
  4. Glad to hear I'm not the only one! :0) I have a small glass of wine about once a week and it doesn't seem to upset anything. Still can't do beer as its too carbonated.
  5. How long did you wait after surgery to have a drink? What was it? Did you tolerate it ok?
