Hello everyone. I am BashFul from Houston, Texas and I was banded May 16, 2008, at Park Plaza Hospital. The procedure was quick and painless.......I was up and walking within no time, eager to go home. By the end of the day I was home. The first 3 days I had no appetite, I but made my self sip on some homemade chicken broth, protein drink (Isopure-pineapple, orange and banana) very tasty. I slept most of the time but able to get up and walk on my treadmill 2-3 times a day, but not 30 minutes each, just through out the day:sleep:. This made me feel better, the walking helped me to relieve the gas on my left side. I have not been filled as of yet, so far so good:thumbs_up:. I am able to eat fish small portions, grits (watered down) oatmeal and cream of wheat. For vegetables mushy --broccoli and green beans.
