hello i'm 2weeks 4days post op and have lost 10lbs pre 23post I have a few questions 1st I have lost weight only because I watch what I have been eating I feel just like I did pre opt I can eat what ever I want and as much as I want, not sure if this is normal or not also my doc has put me on solid food already he says just chew realy good has anyone been told this let me know my last question is I know I can't drink beer because of the carbonation and empty calories but how bought wine

It's normal to not feel anything at your point......watch what you eat as in calories and make sure you go to all your scheduled appointments.

Once you start getting fills things will change ..... but it takes time and the Band is only a TOOL it will not stop you from eating the wrong things. Ice Cream melts right down, Milkshakes slide right down, etc..........

I was banded on 6-9-08, and had my first fill 7-15 and I still don't feel anything, I also have to watch what I'm eating and feel like i'm doing it on my own, like the old days.......anyway, i also was put on solids soon after and do not have to do liquids after fills as i have seen with others. keep me posted.. and good luck
