    Just hang tough for a bit, let your body completely heal from surgery. Then is when your surgeon can start adjusting.....and hopefully get you to that "green zone" you'll hear referred to so often.

    Don't worry....it's totally normal after you start healing and any surgical swelling goes down, that you won't "feel" anything....similar to prebanding. Hopefully, tomorrow when you go to see your doc

Hopefully, tomorrow when you go to see your doc, he/she will expain that by discussing when you may get your first adjustment. Until you start getting fills and get your band adjusted correctly, it'll mostly be just like before....a diet. Just do your best!

Thank you catfish. I feel like I waited so long for this.. And a little disappointed that this is it??

I know I am being a bit impatient.

Just hang tough for a bit, let your body completely heal from surgery. Then is when your surgeon can start adjusting.....and hopefully get you to that "green zone" you'll hear referred to so often. It may take one or two ....or possibly more adjustments, until you start to "feel" the effects of the band. Again...just do your best, eating the types of food your team allows. Best of luck and Never, Ever give up!
