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.

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
