Hi Brenda! I'm feeling pretty good, about the same as you! I also hate broth and I'm getting sick and tired of the sweetener aftertaste. I'm also having a heck of a time falling to sleep at night. *sigh* I hope that one goes away soon!

I was banded on the 28th and just got home from Tijuana, Mexico. The pain is bothering me and I am not complaining. I just hope it doesn't last for more than a week or two.

I'm on my first week of clear fluids. I've been mostly eating Jello, chicken broth and cranberry juice. Next week will be my home made juices with a Norwalk Juicer. Can hardly wait to graduate to fish

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to say I am enjoying hearing everyone's experience! I am @ 9 days banded and starving*** Had my (1 week)follow-up Dr. Ganta and said I would be hungry but this is crazy. Are of you guys having the same? What portion sizes are you having? How often are you eating? I am having almost no pain at all now except for 1 stitch that is sticking out , hope it goes away soon. Please reply I am curious to know how everyone is feeling.

Brenda

Congrats! I am glad that you have a good support person there with you in your husband's absence. He will certainly be thrilled the next time he sees you! This was definitely a good place to post your introduction. I have received so many good pieces of advice and was able to find the answers to most of my questions here. Good luck to you, and I hope you are successful in your journey!
