I was banded on 8/22 and am happy to say everything went well! I have had very little pain. I am still tired but know that will pass when I get more nutrition. Right now I am on protein shakes and liquids. I am so thirsty. I really want a long drink of water but have been good sipping. When I have swallowed too much I get minor discomfort. Since I seem to fill up quickly I am finding it hard to get enough water and shakes in. Any suggestions? How long do you go between sips? Thank you.

i was banded on the 19th august, and i am constantly with a drink in my hand, and i sip all day, i am drinking tea with soy, my shakes. my vitamin supplements, soup, when i am having a drink, i just take a tiny sip every say 20-30 seconds

I was banded the 22 too. I was so thirsty for around two days. I drank all the time. I tried to get in 48 oz of liquids and 2 8 oz shakes. I don't wait long between sips. If I sip to fast my chest lets me know
