Banded 9/5....including the 2 week preop diet I am down 36 lbs. I will finally get a fill tomorrow. I currently have no Fluid in my band.

Ended up with slight staph infection. Antibiotics have almost taken care of burning and incision has healed close Praise the Lord!!! 28-29 lbs down 5 weeks including pre op Pretty excited. This thing actually works ????

I had no Protein goals during my post-op phase. To me the whole notion of trying to get something in or get something down feels counter-intuitive to the whole process of learning to listen to the body and give it what it needs. Of course you need to follow your doctor's instructions but maybe you should call and tell them you are having difficulty -- they may say not to force anything, not to worry so much. Meanwhile congratulations on your surgery and welcome to the other side. It's an exciting time.
