That doesn't sound strange at all! There were certain veggies that I had reactions to. I loved them, but I couldn't eat them and I wasn't tempted. I always said I wish I had those reactions to the bad stuff. Now I do! I do better with the restriction...left on my own I'd eat bad forever, then hate myself in the morning. This band, as I see it, is the best thing I have done for myself. I see "normal" women and instead of thinking "if only I looked like that", I think "i WILL look like that.

I don't know...I would think if you're not getting enough Protein, but I would ask the Doc to be sure. I'm trying to get my butt out of bed earlier to walk, but I've been losing that battle this week. I was doing very well pre-surgery and lost weight, and was feeling great. Now, I am sleepy! What is motivating you?

It's interesting reading these posts...I was banded on Sept 5th, and was told for the first 2 weeks have 1 ounce of fluids every 15 minutes. After the second week, it's 2 ounces of soft mushies every 30 minutes. Things like scrambled eggs and to switch every 30 minutes w/high Protein shakes, pureed fruit, etc. Then, sip on Water between. But I'm still HUNGRY! I want to bite into something and eat it, like a normal person. But I'm losing weight and that's keeping me going. My first fill in in October, and I'm just holding on to then. Does it hurt when you drink 8oz at a time?
