Hi, I am glad I found this site and this thread. Thanks for starting it. The site I was at was pretty small. I got my band on 05/11/07 at University General Hospital here in Houston. I have been on a liquid diet. I think I have lost about 8-10lbs in that weeks period and was a little surprised that I have not been nauseated. It seems I have no problem downing an 8 ounce protine drink at one time. The way the written material I was given said I would be lucky to drink one or two ounces at a time?? Any one else had this experience?
