Today I had my post op visit. I have dropped 8.5 lbs in 12 days they were really pleased with my progress. He told me that would slow down now ( I didn't like hearing that) but i guess it is not reality to lose 5lbs a week . I did tell him that i am starting to get really hungry even thou i am doing the protein shakes he told me it is because all the liquids are going straight through the band he told me it would get better once i can eat solid foods. I did ask him about a fill and he told me that some people never get a fill which i thought was interesting but he told me we would discuss that on my next visit which is March 18th He told me that If i am still feeling Hungry then he would give me a fill. Just wondering also is anyone having any troubles with the protein shakes making your go to the bathroom?

Well it has been a week today for me feeling great other then I still get alittle tired and I still have the gas issues but I got the ok to go back to work this monday. I am really really feeling hungary today. I have been doing the soup broth and sugar free pudding and protein shakes but I just feel like I need to eat real people food LOL!! I tired to do a walking tape yesterday but I got sick in the stomache and had to stop. So I think I will wait a week to try that again. So if anyone has any good ideas please let me know. Misty
