I had surgery on 10/29. I feel fully healed except for a little soreness. I am hungry and when I do eat I can't really say if I have restriction. The only thing that is keeping me from eating is the scale showing how much weight I have lost. When I eat if I don't drink it seems like I don't get full, but they say you should wait 30 mins. the 30 mins I wait I finally find myself to be full. Did anybody else have this problem with your band in the beginning?:smile2:

What you are experienced is totally normal. You had swelling after surgery, that's why you weren't hungry. The swelling has gone down so your appetite came back. Feeling full 30 minutes after is normal too. They say it takes at least 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain it's full. Sounds like you are sticking to a good eating plan even though your hungry, keep up the good work!

Just because I love to eat Thanksgiving foods, and this is only me talking, but I would have the fill date changed so that you wont miss out on the Holiday. But if you don't care about that as much as I do then Good Luck with your fill I hope you get some feeling of restriction....

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
