On 11/28 I had my seventh fill. I believe I hit my greenzone, however, my first week I couldn't keep anything down. So, I went back to the basic (clear liquids). In one week I lost 8lbs, which I think was water. Things was so rough, I was thinking about going to get unfilled. But I like the restrictions because I don't eat as much, but it was getting uncomfortable. Now in my second week thinks are a little better, first thing I must do is respect the band and if I'm full to stop eating (still trying to break bad habits). Now here is my ? When eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner I'm fine, but when it comes to drinking (water, juice, tea, or crystal lite I can only take very very very small sips) and that is after I wait 45-60 min after eating. I am so thirsty I suck on ice all day. Any input would be appreciated.
