Hi! I haven’t had a gastric band but I’m sure others who have will be a long shortly to help. Just wanted to say good luck on your journey!

Hi,
When I had my band fitted, I just stayed on fluids (shakes) and found hot drinks easier than water to get down. I couldn’t drink massive amounts initially but as the days went on this increased. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery xx

Struggling mentally if I am being honest, underestimated the willpower needed and the affect it is currently having on me psychologically :-( x
