Is this Normal?!

[RoseyRose 1]

Hey Guys,

I just had my surgery on 2/1/2016 and i can honestly say its going Great! i noticed that i can have more than 2oz per serving. I'm currently on Clear liquid diet, i should drink 2oz every 20 minutes. Which includes, Water, Protein Shake, clear broth, Jello, Decaf tea and coffee. My follow up appointment is on 2/8/2016. But i can actually drink about 6-8 ounces and get full but not to the point of wanting to vomit. I hope my Band is not to big.

Has thing happened to anyone else?

You've had no adjustments, as your band is in its infancy. It's loose. First adjustment is usually at about six weeks, but that can vary from one surgeon to another. For now, drink and eat, when it's time, in the amounts and on the schedule prescribed by yours.

You're fine.

Oh ok I was also band not too long ago , I have 3 days already , was wondering bout my first fill.

My first fill was 4 weeks after surgery, and was 4cc's....between my first fill and my second fill I began to gain weight. Everything I had lost from the pre-surgery and the post surgery diet regime...

It took me a few months and a few good fills before I could tell the band was doing anything.

(and that brought on another set of challenges - lessons to learn)

So it is a process, not an instant thing as it is with other weight loss surgeries.

Everyone varies on what their band can hold without issues, from what I have understood. Good luck
