hi....i just had the band placed last thursday.....i'm a little nervous...i have been able to drink an entire glass of water at one time...or 10 oz of soup broth at one time....and with no problems.... is this normal? i know i dont have a fill yet, and my swollen stomach acts as a fill; but how much of a stomach do i actually have? am i stretching it out by drinking all of that at once? i thought i was very knowledgeable about this pre op..but now that i am post ot, i feel like i have learned nothing....any words of advice??
