From what I understand the Realize band is in only one size. I read your posts about pre-op. I am 8 days liquid. This weekend has been bitter sweet. Went to a restaurant twice and didn't eat. I learned I can be at a rest and not eat, enjoy the company and survive!! Good luck to you!

My friend and I are being banded on May 9th with the Realize band. I can't wait to get my card after surgery so that I can build my virtual self on the Realize website. I was so disappointed that I couldn't play with it before surgery!

I got my Realize band on May 5th. My port site feels like someone is stabbing me, the rest of the incisions don't hurt.

I also got the Relize band May 5th. Shrinko de mayo. I have been just a liitle bit sore. Getting up or down is the only time it hurts. I was on Clear Liquids for two days, and today back on Protein. But it is hard to get all the Water in. Do we just keep sipping?

I was on clear liquids for one day. I am having a hard time getting in all of the liquids, I am still up right now because I still have more Protein drink to get down. It is funny because I am hungry, but can't really have much. I feel like I am sipping constantly.

The pain is mostly when I get up and sit down, I am lucky, though, my mother has one of those power chairs, so I sit there. We also have a handicapped toilet for her which is wonderful. I don't need the pain pills at all except for when I know I will be moving around a lot. My biggest problem is trying to convince my two year old not to body slam me with his wonderful hugs. He is getting very grouchy and reverting in his potty training because I am not giving him as much physical contact at he needs. I feel like I will be much better by Saturday.
