Hi all, I just joined this forum. I was banded on September 9 so I am now one week post-op. Everything seems to be going smoothly so far. I only had pain for about two days, and I could manage it with alternating Tylenol and Advil (liquid gel caps). I felt a lot of restriction at first, even to the point that drinking Water was somewhat difficult, but now I don't feel too much restriction. On the other hand, I haven't been too hungry yet. This afternoon I got a bit hungry and then I realized that I hadn't really eated much of anything today, just drank water and unsweetened ice tea and an Isopure Protein beverage. So I had some Soup and I feel much better. This liquid diet is gonna get old quickly, I can tell you, though. At least I only have one more week of liquids and then I can go to mushies.
One interesting thing I am noticing is that the skin in the area of my incisions is so itchy. Is anyone else experiencing that?
