Every doctor will have a different request for this. My office recommends waiting a year before drinking again, and then on the rare occasion.

I still occasionaly have wine with dinners. To me this has to be something I can and will do for the rest of my life.

When in doubt, talk to your surgeons office to get all the information.

Surgery 7/20/2010

4 fills later 6 cc's in a 10 cc band.

I have a delay of about 5 days from fill till I react. I also don't always face restriction. It's totally hit or miss for me. Some days I have good restriction and if I don't do things perfectly Imight get stuck. Other days I don't even really have to chew and nothing will happen. Guessing that I still have not achieved my sweet spot.

Never wish for sticking. I did. I needed to know that the band was working. Sticking SUCKS. It is rather scary and uncomfortable. I wanted it so badly that I went through about 8 episodes in a short period of time.

Hey Precious.

Don't forget that your body needs calories to metabolize what it's taking in. We all want to get to this really small need for food, and we can.. Sadly though it won't help.

I went nuts after surgery 7/20/2010. I loved the fact that I was never hungry and so I barely was eating. I recently did a very honest food journal for my nutritionist. I was so pleased that I was consuming between 500 - 750 calories a day. I should have been losing huge amounts, I gained. The nutritionist explained to me that my body was hording. We actually will lose better eating about 1,200 calories a day. Much less and your metabolism slows down. Gotta metabolize. I am now at 1,200 calories a day and losing again. Lost 7 pounds in the 2 weeks since I saw her last.

Don't not eat!

Don't do what will harm you.
