2nd adjustment

MADE IT 2 MY GOAL..OH YEAH · September 23, 2008

Hey all! I am due to have my 2nd adjustment Thursday. I was just wondering, I already have 3 1/2cc (from 1st fill), should I have any restriction with my 2nd fill. With what I have now, I still feel no restriction at all. I can eat just like I did before the band (although I don't), but I am still hungry within a couple hours.

I have been trying this K2O Water but it doesn't feel like it is working cause its not taking the edge off my hunger feeling. Please tell me good news and I will be able to feel the restriction with my 2nd fill

Everyone is different -- I am sure you will start feeling it more and more.

I haven't even been banded yet, but I asked my doctor specifically about the K2O product, and he said it wasn't nearly as good as the Protein Shakes. I think he said that it's like drinking Water. It seems to me (only my opinion, not the doctor) that since it's so watery that it would not stay in the pouch long enough to have any effect on hunger. I tried making a few Protein shakes just to see what they were like (since I'll be living on them in a few weeks - hopefully), and there is a big difference between how I feel after drinking the shakes, and how I feel after the yummy but less effective K2O drinks. So maybe it's the "thickness" or "volume" of the protein that matters just as much as the protein content? Just a guess....
