ledavis13 33 Posted May 3, 2012 The only part of this surgery (believe it or not) that scares me is not drinking Water as much as I want. I drink Water all day every day and always feel thirsty. I understand that I will have to stop drinking while eating which will be hard. But to struggle all day drinking? Ay ya ya! I'm going through Pre op and then will be waiting on insurance. Fingers crossed!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neversatisfied 19 Posted May 3, 2012 I'm having a wonderful recovery. I drink a couple of 32Oz glasses of Water a day and leave it at that. I'm cutting calories on my fitness pal but that's because I've always counted. I'm counting now to make sure I get enough but I'm only about to get on about 400 calories a day. I'm walking a mile a day. And I'm still on purees but I added mashed potatoes, and my normal egg drop Soup and baked potato Soup plus a Protein shake. when I get hungry it's only after not eating for like 4 hours. I have the Allergan lap band. <br /> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neversatisfied 19 Posted May 26, 2012 How are all the 4/23 bandsters doing? I had my first fill Thursday. It wasn't bad at all. I wish I had known to warn the nurse to be gentle with jabbing her fingers into my port site. She seems to have gotten complacent and not realizing we are still healing. The stick itself didn't hurt. I already had 3.4 cc's in my band I wasn't aware of. They added 1 cc. I'm 2 pounds ahead of their plan for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When i workout i can feel my port and it makes me a bit nauseous. I'm down about 30 pounds. Well that's what the scale says. I don't feel like I've lost anything near that amount though. I guess i will see if my scale is accurate when i go for my follow up. Glad you're doing well! Woohoo for being ahead! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandy.lyons 5 Posted May 26, 2012 I just got my band yesterday. When I came out of surgery t told my friend, "this was a bit mistake.". I was really sick at my stomach yesterday but I feel a little better today. I am eating Clear Liquids today but I want to try regular.soup and Protein Shakes toreros. I am hungry. I have slept most of the day today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishes1971 4 Posted June 9, 2012 Just had my first fill. Now at 4cc going well. Lostb20 pounds so far. Need to ramp up exercising. Does anyone get a gurgling sound from their band ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
