Hello Yall

So i was banded at NYU by Dr. Kurian (awesome and very patient btw) and so far i have been chilling and taking it easy :lol: . Its weird It was as if i blinked and it was over. I dont remeber anyone counting down or anything. But everything went well and I couldnt be happier. I know im a newbie but nothing so far seems as bad as I thought. The scars arent bad, the liquid diet is ok (im loving Atkins) and I lost 15 lbs so far (thanks mostly to preop diet :eek:)

but heres a question...right before you get a fill can you eat as much as you could preband? Im not plannig too but was curious :w00t:

Thanks guys

Congrats on your surgery! I was somewhat restricted before my first fill, I could eat more than I can now but I did have some restriction.

hi i was also banded @ nyu with Dr. ren congrats!!! u will feel some restriction the 1st couple of weeks but after the swelling goes down u will feel hungrier and you might b able to fit more food in but u want to try to eat in small increment so you dont vomit or stretch your pouch so have small meals and make sure you have your Protein 1st Good luck!!!
