alicelopes 26 Posted February 25, 2013 Hello, I have been banded since January 24th I was a low bmi and have lost so far 13 pounds with no pre op diet. On the first week of my post off I felt full all the time most probably because I was swollen. I knew as well that the surgeon put 4cc on my band of 10cc, the reason I think he done because normally he doesn't do, is because perhaps my stomach wasn't too big, so to be properly in place I needed a bit of a fill. The reason of the post is, that after my 2nd week post op I started to feel really hungry, and I wasn't drinking enough at all, that was always the problem. So I thought to myself I'm going to commit drinking Water because I kinda wasn't loosing anymore, so I did and omg do I always feel full, when I go to eat I feel full and is all because I started drinking properly, as well I reduced my carbs intake to maximum of 100 grams a day and I can feel the difference to, since doing those two things I'm 2 pounds lighter. 4 kll724, Maddysgram, ☠carolinagirl☠ and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddysgram 6,159 Posted February 25, 2013 Glad you figured this out and you're doing very well. I hope newbies read this and follow your example. First thing my bariatric staff stressed was "you have to drink a minimum of 64oz a day". Not only does it help with hunger, but the toxins it flushes from your whole system is amazing. You notice your skin becomes smoother and soft. I keep feeling my face and can't believe the difference. Good luck on your continued success! 3 ☠carolinagirl☠, alicelopes and DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dolphintattoo 96 Posted February 25, 2013 Regardless of fill level, your insides are swollen after surgery and I think most folks feel full initially but as times go by the swelling goes down making it harder to stay full feeling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
