Had my 5 day post-op appointment today, got the staples taken out, boy does that feel good!

I lost 7.5 pounds in 5 days! i've been really sticking to the liquid diet. There was a woman that got banded same day as me, and she only lost 2 pounds, but said she cheated. She had a quart of egg drop Soup yesterday!! I don't think i could even get that down!

Was happy to hear that i have a 10cc band and dr filled it to 6cc at surgery...now on Protein shakes for next 10 days then will move on mushie stage.

your doctor filled your band 6cc at surgery? i thought common practice was to not fill until 6wks postop? wow....that surprises me, do you already have restriction?

yes he read right from my file, you have 10cc band and i put 6cc in it already! I was like WOO-HOO! i had hear at one of my other visits another patient asking him if she had any Fluid and he told her she had a 14cc with 8cc put in at surgery!

As far as restriction goes i guess i do have some,but i am hungry, so i dont know?????

Wow! That's the biggest surgery day fill I've ever seen! Many people are at their sweet spot before 6cc's in a 10cc band! You must have some good restriction already!

I have 0 fill in my band.

pspmtnac, I think I had 3cc after surgery, or a bit anyway - doc wasn't clear. 6cc sounds like a lot, but don't think it matters if you feel okay!!!
