What do you do when you need a big drink of water. You know, the times where we are so thirsty we can drink a gallon so to speak.Do you eventually get too full or do you remain thirsty but can't fit anymore in your tummy? Also, can you drink and eat at the same time. I know you can't with the band, but what about the sleeve?

It's just downright weird. WasA keeps telling me not to question why things are going so well, but I would really like to feel full and not watch the clock so I can have something else.

Daisy, when did you feel full on Clear liquids with your banding post op diet?

When did you EVER feel full on clear liquids?

I know, but Susan and Elizabeth said they felt like they had to force liquids. I feel like I have to force myself to wait.

I have to leave my Water in the kitchen instead of next to me or I would drink a 20 oz bottle in nothing flat.

I was only on clears for 24 hours with the band surgery.

Then full for 4 weeks. That was easier.

Everyone is different. Also, I had a filled band up until the day before surgery. I also suffered from daily heart burn and acid reflux. Susan was barfing food and had her band unfilled @ 3 weeks before surgery.

I believe you had an unfilled band for quite some time and really had no major problems with the band. How much weight do you need to lose to get to goal? Given the choice, I would have LOVED to be able to down fluids the way you can. I NEVER had restriction with the band so maybe that is a factor also.
