I don't know how I missed this! I was banded on 2/19. I have been reading some of the posts and the difference in approaches is amazing. My doctor wants me on a modified liquid diet and not working until March 12. I am supposed to drink 2 oz. of Protein Shake on the hour and 2 oz. of clear liquid every 15 minutes. I am starving!!!! With all liquids, it is my understanding there is no restriction. aLso, I have already started back to work. I feel great! There is no soreness, energy loss, or pain, I am amazed. I have lost 10 pounds so far but I don't know how long I can stay on all liquids without giving in solid food, or even something mushie for that matter. Whatever, I am determined to do what the doctor says. After reading some of the posts though, I may try to call tomorrow to see what I can do about the nagging hunger pains:drool:

I know what you mean I was eating food in one week I called my dr am said for a fill sooner because I was starving she said the swelling must be gone and go ahea and eat what I can tollerate I had no restriction but I will eat and get full faster I got a burrito at TB and half of it I was feeling it should have stoped on the 4th os of but then I was hungrey again within a hr but I can tell when I am done still can't wait for a fill I have only lost 12 lbs since the surgery the 13th of feb... I need to lose more:cursing:

I did really bad yesterday and ended up not feeling so good last night s o this morning I went to yougert and drinks was it for dinner I had a little stroganoff and some baked potatoe Soup, I am counting down until next week I get my fill on the 12th...

oh my I had alot of shoulder pain I felt better and it seem to ease from walking around and moving it is all from the gas being blown up during surgery once you get it all worked out you will feel better

I so need a fill and fast I am hungrey all the time i do get full fast but I get hungrey again fast I ate 1/4 of a waffle and hashbrowns and sasauge for Breakfast and now I am snacking on dry cheerios. I don't get a fill til the 12th any suggestions:(

lol u know I replyed to this and didn't even relize the dates wow what a dumb dumb I am lol well I hope the info I send helped someone lol........or maybe it was just to remind myself:)

wuan---- where r u from I am in Arkansas I am so ready for a fill today was tough I ate a pb 7 j on wheat and then had a half a slice of pizza and taters for dinner then I ate 4 thin mint girl scout Cookies I way over did it and had no pain or anything I am counting down til my fill, I think tomorrow I am going to start back on liquids I can't eat like that anymore,,,

I have the relize band and my doctor makes it clear

"On The day of your adjustment, you may only have Clear Liquids, then do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours prior to your appoinment. You should remain on liquids the rest of the day then progress to soft foods the next day. Remember, chew your food well. WE CANNOT DO AM ADJUSTMENT IF YOU HAVE A FULL POUCH!!!!!

That is what our papers say hope ithelps..

Ok I called my dr, today because I am hungrey and feel like I could eat just about anything, when my dr put the band in he doesn't put anything in it so I have no restictions so I can eat they just say take it slow because of swelling but if I am hungrey my swelling must be gone so I can eat now I will go on the 12th to get my first fill and I will get 4cc so until then I can eat normal but now I won't over do it I have lost 15 lbs since surgery and want to keep it off. I would love to hear how some of you early month banders are doing and those who have had there first fills...:smile:
