This is my first post on this site. I was banded on August 4th 2014 and the first few days I was wondering if I made a mistake. I stopped the pain meds after the second day and was drinking protein drinks and some broth(boring). I am some ready for the "mushy" stage I'm tired of sweet protein shakes. I have lost a total of 20 pounds this first week without any excercise is that normal?
