Hi Debbie,

Don't be afraid, you have to start somewhere. Remember to talk little sips though. Also, I find walking after helps move it around.

I was banded to on 9/13/13. drink little sips it will be good. day 3 I had some yogurt this morning and it went down fine. Take time to heal. Walking has helped!.

I was banded on 9/13 also. Had a bit of trouble - hope I'm over the hump ! Hope you both are doing well!

I feel great, learning to eat slow has been difficult. I've been using 'eat slow' app which is awesome. But, my port site is super sore. I can hardly bend. Any of you having the same?

Noticed a little puss coming from a couple of my incisions, the doc is putting me on an antibiotic. A little freaked.

I was banded on 9/13 too. Hope y'all are doing better! I still get a little tired, but my incisions are healing. Still learning to eat - my hardest thing is not eating & drinking at the same time - trying to get myself on a schedule. I've been doing good - it's just hard to remember.

update: I have no idea where my port is....my hunger has come back full force andddd I find that I still have some restriction. My Dr's office said that im probably still swollen.

What are you guys eating now?

I'm on mushy food for 2 more days. Today for Breakfast I had a pkg of plain oatmeal, then about 2-1/2 hours later I had a little pkg of hummus then a couple of hours after that I had a cup of split pea Soup, then I had a sugar free fat free pudding, then for supper tuna with a little light mayo - total of about 750 calories day. I eat just a little several times a day. I use the "my fitness pal" to figure out my Protein and calories. My doctor gave me a sample menu and I'm trying to stick to it.
