Personal feelings on it: I drink AS MUCH AS I WANT before a meal. However, once I start a meal, I put the water (or whatever) away. I've noticed that drinking with a meal only makes me stuck, so it's not worth it. After I'm done eating and I feel my food move through my band completely, I try and wait a while and will then only have a sip of water.

Ohhhh, I got the hiccups all the time after surgery. In fact, I was beginning to think that hiccups replaced burping b/c I was noticing I never burped anymore. It's normal. What's not good is when you hiccup several months post op...usually means you ate something you shouldn't have.

I AM restricted!!! The nurse practitioner said I wouldn't be and that any restriction I felt would be from the inflamation, but 7 days later, I still have restriction! It's going away, but has been great, so far!

8 weeks banded and No weight loss.
ccweeks replied to kity1_cat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As others have mentioned, I would really recommend paying close attention to the QUALITY of the food you take in and the order in which you eat it. Protein first, veggies second, carbs third. Also, exercise exercise exercise!!!! A great goal for exercise would be 5 days / wk. This band is NOT going to work as long as you have the same habits as before. Remember, the band is a tool...let it help you! -
Where is your port located and will it show after I lose all my weight?
ccweeks replied to Tiggerangel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It all depends on where your port is located and how much fat you have around it when you reach goal. I think if you get extremely thin, you might be able to see it, esp. if it's pretty much centered above your belly button. But the average bandster will not have a visible port. Most of ours are off the the side of the belly button and a little high. Mine is below my left breast by about 3 inches. -

Drink your protein drinks. It's so crucial. Also, try some of the Campbell's Soup at Hand soups. I looked forward to those everyday. -

What is the typical eating regimen after getting a fill? How long do you have to be on liquids or mushies?
