Questions About Liquid Intake 3 Days Out
Its been three days since I was banded. I am sticking to mainly Ensure, Glucerna, chicken broth and beef broth for nourishment. Although my band is completely loose I feel very restricted as to how much I can drink. Getting a whole Ensure down (8oz) is pretty much pushing it, sometimes I drink half at a time and save the rest for later. Whatever it is, I am listening to my stomach to tell me when I am starting to feel extended. I know my stomach is prob pretty swollen still, I was just wondering if this restristion was normal and will it stay this way or will my stomach accept more as the swelling goes down?? I will not get my first fill for 6 weeks and I am hoping it stays this way! I am not noticing a big hunger pain or anything just kind of a little nudge telling me I am needing something in there.

Michele, sorry cannot help you on the band because I had RNY. Just want to say good luck on your journey.
You may also want to try posting your question on the Q & A and the main message board. I am not sure how many banders we have on the IL board. You will get more responses on the other two boards. Welcome to the other side!!! I am sure that you are spinning for joy like this little guy.
