HI! I was just banded on Wed the 10th. I am having my first "hard" day. I am getting less fluid and protein in today than previous days. Is this normal? I am worried about the protein issue. This is my first posting on this site. I welcome any advice. Becky

Welcome! I wonder if you changed yoru routine, I know when I change mine I find it difficult to get in all the fluids. Are you feeling alright? If you dont have a fever and are not vomiting I would see how it goes tomorrow. If you fluid levels decrease more I would deffinatly call your doctor, Good Luck! Ellen

Hi Ellen, Thanks for the response. No fever, I checked last night. However I am getting some hot flashes. No vomiting. What I get down stays down. Thank God. I just had a bit of a protein shake for breakfast and think I may have gotten a little more of that down than yesterday. I have felt shaky and very tired but I am sure that's because of the decrease in calories. I need to start feeling better soon. I am discouraged but still hopeful that this is going to work for me. Take care, Becky

Hi Becky, I had the band done on 8/17/05. Today has been my hardest day. If I look at another protien shake, I will vomit. I am also feeling a little emotional about the whole thing. I think psychologically hungry still. Have you experienced any of this? Leigh Ann Eldridge.
