What is it like after sugery? I plan on not having my band filled during surgery so that I have a chance to recover and get through the holidays before I am restricted.
Do you always end up eating mouse bites when you eat? Is that as long as you have the band or just during the recovery from surgery?
Is there anything you will never get to eat again?
I want to be restricted in the sense that I feel full but I am hoping I will still be able to eat some of the things I enjoyed. I am hoping to have better portion control and make better decsions with the band.
How long do most of you plan on keeping your band in for?
So right about now I am thinking holy cow what have I gotten myself into? I am in some pain but nothing unbearable and I am starving. I wouldn't expect you should be able to go out and eat big ol' meals after surgery but why does it take so long to transition to solid foods? I did a little cheat tonight but eating a couple bites of cottage cheese and some soup that wasn't broth. I couldn't help myself I am so hungry. Can anyone fill me in on how they handled their after surgery diet?
