Hi everyone, this is my first time posting at this site. My name is Wanda. I had lapband surgery on November 13, 2008. I haven't eaten since Nov. 10. I am starving like Marvin. My stomach may not be hungry but my mind wants to CHEW. I was sent home from the hospital with all kinds of medications. They didnt say anything about crushing them or splitting them. I hope that I am not doing anything wrong. I haven't had too much pain so I guess not. I wish you all the best. :smile2:
