I am a newly banded one (haven't had first fill yet) but I have a question ...when it is really hot or when you all workout...how do you stay hydrated? Especially with a tighter band?....I get really thirsty when I really workout....and I worry about getting enough fluids after my fill....oh and by the way I live in Phoenix Arizona ...120 degrees right around the corner....just worried about dehydration.

I've read where you can get the New whey Protein shots after workouts, you can pick up at Wal mart they have 42 grams of protein, and the walmart brand has 26 grams. drinking Water and crystal light, although ( I think I drank too much today and not enough clear water) . I went for a walk this afternoon felt woozy and popped one open and sipped it for a few minutes and it really helped. Hubby picked up for me. You learn to gage the calories you eat with the calories you will burn off.

Good Luck

The amount of fills u have should not affect your fluid intake at all. If you cant take fluid down then the band is too tight and u will need a small unfill. The band was designed to restrict food not water

Lots of little sips is best when working out. good luck !

Thank you...that is good to know. I actually can't wait for my first fill...not sure how it will feel...but excited. Thanks
