Quick Question?

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?

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)

I don't have to do 3 shakes a day. I do tomato Soup w/ scoop of Protein. I had some potato soup blenderized today, Protein shake, apple sauce, and tea and Water.

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!

Mine post op is Nov 27 and fill is Dec 10th! I feel like the fill is very soon as well compared to what others say. 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.

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 :)

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!

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!

mine too! thank you for saying that, I thought it was just me!!!
