I am on my 2 week diet and I'm a lucky one I got to be.on the adkins diet but its still hard I don't really know what all I can eat so I'm not eating much haven't.had ANY sugar in 3 days Im on my 4th day now

Try Special K Protein shakes' date=' that's what I had the week of liquids after being banded, I couldn't even smell the powder shakes..I was sick of them. I bought the french vanilla which i liked. Of course I asked the Dr if that was ok and he said it was So now I have them around when i don't feel like having breakfast or lunch, I have one of the shakes and mix in either berries or bananananana

Good luck!

Keep us posted!

Thanks you very much and I will I'm just ready to get the band and.move on with my new life style my body does not feel the same right now, how is your healing been you just got the band not to long ago didn't you

The recovery went well, I have to say I was very lucky and didn't exprience much pain. I had some discomfort with the gas, but took Gas X and walked around the house and girl..I just let it ou! LOL!! I had prewarned my husband about it the gas, so he was well aware. Seriously, though, when I got home from surgery I was very nauseated, took some nausea medication and just threw up, I seriously think that helped me. (Don't try this at home)

I just got my 1st fill, I had 5 cc's during surgery and just got 1 cc more but I think i'm going to need more. I am learning the difference between being satisfied and being full, very two different things. It will be frustrating at times but remember it took us how many years to gain the pounds, it's going to take us time to lose them to.
