I had to break meals into small meals more often, Breakfast is usually Protein shake at 8am, then at 10 an egg, then at 12 tuna or turkey roll and cheese, then at 2 shake, then at 4p turkey roll up, then at 6 chicken or salmon. i hate Water, so i do water with lemon or Vitamin water, try to drink one in the midmorning between snack and lunch 20oz, then one after lunch before mid afternoon break 20 oz and one after dinner but not too late because if i go to bed the liquid just keeps coming up and down, 20 oz. i wait 30 min after each meal for any liquid. I feel like i eat all day!! Hang in there! M-

Hi, yes, you probably have very little in your band, when they put in some doctors dont fill at all, I had 3cc.. because of the surgery i felt full very quickly and could barely get liquids down, but about the 3rd week post i was starving. I was on Clear Liquids for 7 days, protien shakes and soft muchies for 4 weeks, then solids slowly adding in what I could. The first few months are hard and mostly your good will. My port flipped twice and had to have it re-attached twice. After that it has been little by little adjustment fills. I know it is more expensive to do little by little, but the results are better off. I know liquids are easier but solids help you stay full longer and DONT drink with your meals, it pushes the food down faster and you eat more. Hope this helps! Patience, M-

I take Biotin 2500 mcg liquid softgel twice a day by nature made, when im tight I squeeze out the liquid into a vitamin water, but it is a little bigger than an aspirin and usually goes down well.

I agree with the above, i did little by little and i know it is more expensive, but is the best way to do it. Again, it takes time for the brain to realize that you cannot eat like you used to. You have to work on both the brain and the right fill amount and that takes time. It took about 5 months and one little unfil to get to the right place. God Bless, m-
