Singer 81 Posted May 17, 2013 I agree with what everyone else said, except I would also suggest having some sugar free gum. Or, I bought some sugar free hard candy. After you drink your shake, and you shouldn't drink anything immediately following..;you need something to get that taste out of your mouth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stept04 465 Posted May 17, 2013 You may want an ice pack for your stomach as well. I have not been banded yet ( 28th May ). A friend of mine was banded May 2nd and used an ice pack on her stomach to help with the swelling and soreness. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
