November 21, 201213 yr As I read I see that most docs want their patients to have 2-3 shakes a day . . . How is that possible if you are only suppose to eat 3 meals a day? Where do you fit in 100% juice, tea and broth?

November 21, 201213 yr Author good question......the other items are in between the shakes (or this is how i see it). careful with juices unless they are sugar free..just sip sip sip...... I'm starting to be hungry ALL of the time! I don't want there to constantly be something in my pouch. . . I would feel so guilty if it stretched!
November 21, 201213 yr I'm starting to be hungry ALL of the time! I don't want there to constantly be something in my pouch. . . I would feel so guilty if it stretched! well, you are healng so you will get more hungry..you have to really over indulge alot to stretch..so no worries... the more you drink, the less you eat (and satisfies if you arent truly hungry..as it does me)....and helps me fell (full)

November 22, 201213 yr Author Starshine33, when is your post-op appointment and when us your first fill? My post-op is Dec. 3 My first fill is Dec. 11 Dec. 11th seems so soon. . . I guess I'm worried about the soreness! Hopefully it'll be gone by then!

Your doc numbs the area(mother in law was banded by Snow), mine doesn't at all:( I hope we can't feel our incisions by then. Well really I can only feel my big one.
November 22, 201213 yr I don't want a fill until I am ready and my doc is ok with that. That was a big concern for me! If I am losing steady weight without a full, I won't ever get one

November 22, 201213 yr My back aches a lot! Is this normal? Mine does!! Pretty sure it's normal. I'm just using the heating pad.
November 22, 201213 yr Author Mine does!! Pretty sure it's normal. I'm just using the heating pad. It feels like I need to go see the chiropractor! Guess it's all part of the healing process!
November 22, 201213 yr It feels like I need to go see the chiropractor! Guess it's all part of the healing process! I told my husband that I'm going for a massage as soon as I can!
November 22, 201213 yr Vanessa, love that you are listening to your body! I have only had one fill and am 10 months out. It is a lot of head games too so listen to your body. I did not feel like I needed one at all, but my dr wanted me to have something in my band because your stomach changes as you lose weight. Good luck to you!
November 22, 201213 yr Mine does!! Pretty sure it's normal. I'm just using the heating pad. mine too! thank you for saying that, I thought it was just me!!!
