2 weeks post op, were you on liquids all this time? I believe about my 3rd week I started on soft which included yogurt. Yogurt should help with thrush problems. Lifting restriction? Notify your provider regarding your incision incase they want to put you on antibiotics and use some sort of dressing. Always better to be safe then sorry. You paid for the procedure, don't feel like you dont have the right to ask questions about your procedure and your body. Hope all works out well, and you have fast healing!

Hello all. I was just banded on 7/11/07. I am having a very hard time consuming 64ozs of liquid and 60 grams of Protein daily. I am also experiencing back pain. Is this normal?

What type of Proteins are you trying to take in? It may take you a couple days/ week or so for the swelling to ease up. Do you have a history of back pain? You could have back pain just from the positioning of when you were in surgery. But if you have any concerns give you doctor a call.
