I was banded on november 22. Im not having trouble with (day walkers food) temptations HaHa. What Im having trouble with is burping it hurts. From what i have been reading i am lucky that i have not had trouble with the surgery gas. I can drink my protein shakes and a small cup of grits for breakfast , a cup of soup for lunch and a shake and soup for supper . I don't have a problem with getting in my 60 oz of water a day. My wife has been my support group she helps keep me on track with not letting me pick up more then what i am allowed.
