I was banded on the 20th and have lost 9 lbs so far. My port is still very sensitive; I generally hold onto it and give it some support whenever I walk or get up and down but otherwise, it doesn't bother me. I can tell you that SNEEZING HURTS!! :w00t:
I was on liquid meals for breakfast and lunch with a regular dinner for 10 days before surgery and nothing but liquids since then.
