I got banded on Nov 6 these past two days I havent felt full like everyone else has with Water, I am not restricted yet but I am getting worried am I supposed to be getting extra full or is it normal?

I am sticking by doctors orders and i am on soft mushies now , i think i have been reading to many bad lapband experience's and being to much of a worry wart

its normal without restriction that you wouldnt feel water go down or feel full. at this stage liquids usually pass right through you

thank you so much for your reply ! I appreciate it .

Most surgeons "install" an empty band so as the surgery swelling/trauma decreases, the hunger increases. I found the most trying time to be between 1 week post op and my first fill. It' takes a lot of willpower during this period because you will likely be able to eat nearly just as much as pre-op. It took me three fills to finally get any decent restriction and now I'm looking forward to fill #4. Good luck and stay focused.
