I cannot wait to chew something:) I was banded 12/4 and all is well. My main challenge is the cravings. Peanut butter usually solves it. I want to know if anyone has been able to eat popcorn?? Nothing like butter lovers, just plain and flavored with olive oil or olive pam spray?

Ok, I was thinking I would eat the puffy part as well and not the kernel too:) I guess I just have to try and see:)

Wow, that is crazy. I hope you can find a Dr you are comfortable with.

I had my band on 12/4 and was told to be there at 930. I had to provide a urine sample and then proceed up to my floor to get my room assigned. Once there I was met by a wonderful nurse who had me change into those lovely gowns. I made sure to put a couple of contact numbers on my board for my friends to contact, I was really nervous. The nurse gave me a patch behind my ear and began my iv. Started getting sleepy around 1015. They said I was 3rd and whisked me away at 11am. I remember tranferring tables and next thing I recall is being back in my room at 1pm! I did have hernia repaired and had serious gas pains. They encouraged me to walk to move the pressure around and they did not want me to have pain meds because I was still coming off the anesthesia. They gave me G2 with lots of ice and I was later released and had to keep walking off those gas pains. I took my pain meds for about 5 days. My incisions were covered with a glue that came off after a week and a half.

I am so looking fwd to my whey protein shake with the PB and banana! I think I can have that now in my full liquids phase:)

Hello everyone, I received my band 12/4 and into my thick fluid phase. My pain has diminished and am looking fwd to pureed foods! My only concern is that I am not consuming as much water as needed. I wanted to join a blog where I can meet folks going through the same thing.

This site is awesome, I love hearing everyones advice and I learning from everyones experiences. I was wondering which sugar to now use and may have give that one a try. Aloe is new, did you have a lot of refux problems or just an upset stomach?

Thx for the advice, I have to get used to waiting in between meals to sip.30 min is a lot of time but I can do it.
