I was and able to drink wayyyyy over the required Water amount and while I'm eating less i can still eat over 1/2 cup. I was banded July 31st start weight 243 current 219. But I've been stuck here for 2 weeks. I was supposed to have first fill on the 10th but I'm going away on sun on a airplane so doc said to wait until I get back. I am soooo ready for it. Currently I can't eat anything without problems. It's hard but I avoid the junk. I'm having a hard time with the carbs though. I love my Special K for Breakfast In the AM and my whole wheat waffles with Peanut Butter.< /p>

No, I lost 12 lbs the first 2 weeks and felt like I was starving. I could drink and eat much more than the 1 cup the Dr recommended. It's quite normal and the patients who are satisfied on just few sips are few and far between.

I was banded August 1st and received 3cc's day of surgery.

For 2weeks i had no appetite, merely bcuz of the internal swelling gas and nausea.

But my appetite returned w/a vengeance by the 3rd week when it all subsided.

By the 4th week i was back eating full meals.

Let ur clinic know at ur next fill ur not feeling any restriction.

Some nurses are willing to help with getting us to the green zone quicker than others.

No way you're not weird it depends on how much Ccs your doctor was able to place in your band at the time of surgery. I was not able to get a lot of Ccs I was at 6ccs after my surgery and I did get hungry during my healing phase. It is so important that you stick with the healing phase of your diet while you recoup, you don't want your stomach muscles tearing away the stitches placed around your stomach and band. Try to consume cream of wheat (make sure the consistency is very loose by adding milk to it) and Protein water/drinks really help and Jello. Good luck

The surgeon said that he didn't fill my band at time of surgery and I don't think that I will be getting a file for a couple weeks...but does it get better once I can get on the mushy food? Thanks for your help everyone..who would have known this would be so hard at first?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      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.
