I was banded on 1/30/09 (just a few days ago). With the pre-op liquid diet and post-op, I am down 20 pounds. So, in about 3 weeks I have lost 20 pounds which I am thinking is a pretty good amount for a pretty short period of time.
Since the procedure I can barely eat anything. Even broth makes me feel extremely full. Is that normal? Here is what I had today, a BariatrxEssentials shake for breakfast (2 scoops in soy milk), half a cup of coffee, water, chicken broth (1 cup) for lunch, water, and chicken broth for dinner. I am totally full.
What should I expect this first week?
