Having Trouble (Scared) to drink liquids

[Guest Kwik-Fix]

Had my band on 5/2/05 and have not drank much since. I am at work today and I can drink Water but it feels funny and I am scared I will get sick. How do I know how much I can drink without getting sick? The pain has been slight, mostly around my port. Thanks Don

Oh you olny been banded a couple of days.. your still probably swollen from surgery. Im 6 days out and I still somewhat get a little discomfort from drinking Water or anything else for that matter. Just remember to sip sip sip. and try to get in as much as you can thourghout the day. More people on here will give better advise im sure.. Im still learning my new little tummy pouch too. Good Luck with everything and remember sip sip sip, walk walk walk!! hehe

Don't be scared... your band will not break because you drink. I agree with the advise trish gave you. Sip and wait. You'll see it will be fine.

Try sugar free popsicles. They are mostly Water and are easier to get down for some reason. I can't believe you are already back at work!

I see you used Dr. Powell - how was it? My daughter & I are thingking about using him. Did everything go as planned? Did they follow the agenda as spelled out in their seminar? How do you feel?

Thinks for the advice. I am home now and I talked to a nurse at Dr.Cywes office that has had the band for a while and she said I am doing good with my liquids. I feel better now. What a breeze this surgery was, I hope that the weight loss goes the same
