The band works at keeping you feeling full with very little food but it needs to be food. The more dense the food you eat, the longer you will feel full. I don't drink protein drinks at all, I eat all my calories. Shakes go right through the band so you will not feel full for long with them. If I eat chicken and vegetables, for instance, I need very little and I will feel full for a long time. Also, you don't have the band yet, so you aren't going to be able to just take in so few calories and feel well.
You will do fine after surgery. |
