Got banded 3 days ago and doing well. I am bouncing back well did not even need any pain meds while in the hospital. I am just rather sore by the port area. I am having unusual feelings like I cannot tell If I am hungry or what. I know I need to take in calories but am supposed to stay on full liguids for 2 weeks then onto the Soft diet. I so far had a crean Soup some protiene shakes and such. I can say so far so good.

hi -

i too was banded a few days ago (7/31) - no major pain - i mean there was pain, but nothing unbearable, and i took a pass on the oxycodone. it actually made me feel worse than anything, really nauseated, and high as a kite.

however - i have to say i will be happy to never have Jello, sugar free popsicles or cottage cheese again. i can't seem to motivate to have the high Protein soft foods on my list. sigh. i can't wait for phase 4.

I was just banded on 8/1 (5 days ago) and at times want to chew my arms off. Really it is not all that bad. I am on all clears. On Wednesday I can add creamed Soups and pudding and yogurt. YUM. Good Luck!:clap2:
