Hey, I was banded last week, with no problems. Hopefully your blues will not last long. The day after surgery my daughter ran into my port, knocked me to my knees.........Thought I was dying but turns out I only wish I was dying. Once I had a BM I felt better immediately. Now, I just want FOOD!!! I am drinking the ISPPURE protein drinks. Not bad..........Just trying to make sure my muscles do not turn to mulch. lol
