Day 7 post OP and not feeling much restriction or fullness tonight...

[amjcal 5]

I am 6 days post op and it takes me an hour to get down 4oz of a Protein Drink. I feel hungry, then slow sips and then when I am satisfied I stop and save the rest for later. I try not to eat until I am full, because after feeling satisfied about 30 minutes later I feel very full, I have been on liquids and blended cream Soups, still have no desire for food, even when I am cooking for my kids. But I can only get down 4oz at the most at a time. Is this normal?

Sounds like we are both feeling the same way. Nothing is filling me up and I don't feel different when I eat, unlike a handful of other bandsters.

I have been having issues sticking with what the Dr. says for the diet. liquid only for 4 weeks? I have added some soft/mushy foods because I start to get the shakes.

Good luck and I hope when you get a fill you feel a little better when you're eating.

Redhead girl brilliant link, in just having a look at it now. I am 2 and half weeks banded and I am stuggling to lose any weight. I know this is the time for healing but I hear loads od people on here losing big time, all in all with 1 week post op diet I have lost 10pm! Granted I wouldn't have as much to lose as others, I am 222lbs now but still???? I didn't realise I had to eat more Protein, this is probably where I have been going wrong. You site has given me a good insure to what I have to do , thank you so much
