I am 10 days post op and I am not experiencing most of the things that others are. I have felt absolutely no restriction since surgery and have not been able to tell that I have had the surgery at all. Since day 2 I was able to finish my shakes in about 20 minutes and have had no trouble getting plenty of water in.

Reading other people's experiences, I am wondering if something is not right. Maybe i am just very early to the "band hell" between having surgery and fills to start the restriction process. Is anyone else experiencing this so close to their surgery?

Thanks.

I don't feel much restriction but I did have one experience which reminded me I had the band. It's not an experience I want to repeat. I think your following the guide lines and that's why you aren't feeling restriction. The post op diet is to allow the band to heal in place so it won't slip. I've only lost 5.5 lbs so far but I know after my fill I'll start losing.

 

Remember we are all different but have the same long term goal. Glad to hear your doing so well Mike.

Keep posting, sharing, and paying it forward.
