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:

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
