Hi wozzicat, I believe you and I were banded at the same place, I also have a 10cc band and I also was struggling to get liquids in for the first few days. These forums made me very nervous because I kept reading drink, drink, drink...and I wanted to reply I can't, I can't, I can't. My 3rd day was my worst day. But after that things to better day by day. Give yourself time, do what you can to drink but don't feel guilty if you can't get it all in. You eventually will. Best of luck!

lol, you should have been reading sip,sip,sip. At first it is just 1oz every 15min.

But it does get better by the end of 1wk.

Tiny you are with dr c? God I hope my third day isn't worse. I'm really thirsty. Thanks for your reply. Good to head about other people.

Yes, dr c. At swlc in miss. I think you'll be fine tomorrow, I was good day 2, but day 3 was worse for me mobility wise. The incisions gave me some grief, I quit taking prescribed meds, probably should've stayed on them another day. Live and learn.

Did you feel ok after your fill? I can't imagine being restricted more than I am. I am just a big Water drinker. I miss that right now.

Yes, no issues at all. Right now it's the swelling that you're having issues with. You'll be amazed at how quickly you'll feel better once you get through these first few days. I had my first fill about a month after surgery, again no issues. I wanted to get another fill last week but I was flying out to Jamaica and they won't do a fill within 2 weeks of flying. Not sure why, perhaps someone else can answer that. Something to do with swelling/altitude..I think. So, will be getting a fill next Tuesday once I'm home.

Sorry, didn't answer you about restriction/fill. By the time you have your first fill, you won't have the restriction that you're feeling right now. Once the swelling goes away, your restriction will lessen as well.

Thanks Tiny. It is very comforting to hear from you
