Harvest

Hi. I am new to laptalk and called myself looking for related issues but had no luck. I recently got banded (June 16th) and was wondering about the diet and excercise. I went back to my doctor a week after surgery and he put me on mushies and told me just to slowly work the meats and veggies in as I felt comfortable doing so. I bought protein shakes but I find that it is so filling that I can't drink it all. I haven't had my first fill yet...that comes July 29th.

I am a little concerned...my incisions have healed fine, however, I have a pain just under the left side of my rib cage...it hurts to take deep breaths, laugh, etc... I feel a knot and it is very tender there. Have you read of anyone having this type of problem? As far as eating goes...I have been able to tolerate most everything in moderation (no nausea) of course. No breads, pastas or rice and have not ate beef as of yet.

Need advice in Florida
