Hi to all - I am so happy to say that after seven LONG years on the waiting list, I finally had my Lap Band surgery on March 18th. Everything is going well so far. I drank my Clear liquids for the first few days and now I can drink liquid-y Soups, Ensure, Carnation Breakfast, juices, etc.....so that is the good news. My problem is that I am supposed to drink only 6 oz. at each meal and snack. I find that I drink more than I'm supposed to because I'm hungry. Am I doing any damage? Does it really make any difference if I go over my allotted amount since it is only liquids? Did anybody else go through this or did you all stick to the 3/4 cup for each meal/snack. Thanks in advance.
