How are you feeling? I can't believe how full I get just by sipping liquids now. What is your post op eating schedule? I'm 1 week clear, 1 week full liquid, then 2 weeks puree.

FYI: My doc said to stay full longer by keeping food in the pouch, you should wait well over and hour even 2 before you drink anything. It will just wash everything out of the pouch, therefore defeating the purpose of the band.

I think I've got this all figured out now. All that pain in chest area etc was gas, it wasn't that I was full after 1 spoonful of liquid....just filled with gas. Using those gas-x put on your tongue tape things really helped, I think I used the maximum per day 8 for the first 4 days. Plus walking helped.

Now on day 11 and feel great. Started back to work today. I'm on the baby food stage with first appt with doc on Wed. As soon as I moved to baby food consistency it slowed to less than a lb a day.

The biggest tip I have for all of you is getting all your liquid Protein in. I hated the shakes, not a big sweets person so I found these protein bullets on line and they deliver 47 grams in 1 shot. I pour it into a 20 oz bottle fill with Water and sip on it until gone over a few hours then all my protein is in for the day and anything else I have is just gravy towards the 50+ supposed to get. As soon as I started to do that my energy came back and I feel so much better.
