Hi...
I was banded on May 1st. When I went to see my doc. on May 25th he said go ahead and eat real food. Just chew well. So, boy was I glad. I could not get my intestines to cooperate until I started eating real food.
So, now my intestines work fine, but I can eat ANYTHING now. NO restriction whatsoever.
I am following the waiting to drink rule. getting the Protein in, but I am eating too much because I am hungry like before the band.
I get my first fill on June 15, and I am hoping for good restriction then. I cannot go on like this.
I don't feel like anything has happened to my band because of eating real food early. Who knows. I can eat, bread, rice, anything at all, But, I hate being hungry so often. Like before.
Let me know how your doctor's appointment goes. I will be eager to know what his take on it is.
I initially lost 23 lbs, but am up at least two lbs.
