Hi,

These may be silly questions ... but ... I will ask anyway.

I am thinking of getting Lap Banded ... but I am a big drinker (water that is) .... Are you still able to have big drinks of water (ie 1 to 1 1/2 litres at a time) ... or do you have to do it little by little.

Also ... do most people have problems with steak ... or can you still eat it after banding. I have heard that it is not good to digest and just sits there.:hungry:

Both are fine with me. Its funny. Like others I get better steak now. Iw ould not order the better cuts of meat pre-banding because the portions weren't big enough in my opinion. Now I get better cuts because it is still more than I can eat.

I have to answer honestly since this is an issue with me at times. I can not drink water like I used to... and I miss it. I can take small sips, but sometimes I really want to gulp a big glass or ice water and it can be frustrating. You'll find some days are better than others. As far as steak - same thing - sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. My most successful steak was one I had late in the evening, and it was a filet and went down great! Good luck!
