I'm Banded!!

[Guest Loobie]

I was banded on 20th July and everything went great, I was out of hospital the next morning.

I am suffering a bit today, lots of pain in my left shoulder whenever I drink which seems to go if I lie down for a while. Did anyone else experience this, if so, how long did it last for?

I am also starting to get very bored of this liquid diet. I haven't felt hungry once, but I do need to force down Slim Fast or Soup every few hours in order to keep myself from going dizzy. I have 4 weeks of liquids and I think this is going to be really tough, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could have instead of Slim Fast or Soup?

On the plus side, I have already lost 8 lbs and my stitches are being removed on Wednesday!!

I just wanted to say that I'm really glad your feeling better and the op went well

I'm sure others will chime in here with suggestions on what to eat.

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!
