wondering what's ahead?

This is my first blog ever.. I was banded two days ago, I feel like i've been hit by mike tyson in the stomach,:crying: I did not know I would have 5 cuts and I can't beleive you don't have to pamper them, no bandages or anything.. I have not bought a scale yet, It scared me when I read that you might gain weight post op. I can't stand that isopure, I like the shake type drinks better.What about the bottled "frappuccino" drinks way afterwards will those be ok? maybe a half bottle of the "lite"? I was really liking those McCafe drinks before the band life Now what?? :confused:I eat such a small amount and I can't beleive I don't feel hungry... I plan on driving to vegas from LA and spending a couple of days in Aug but what will I do?? The main thing that I liked before was the fancy food and a few cocktails.. time to refocus.. I will try those gourmet dishes that hardly give you any thing on your plate.

Oh.. what is bandster hell??

Hi Happy 4th I was banded June 29. I had a reaction to the Isopure and ended up in the Hospital on the third day. My DR. made me try EAS advant EDGE to see if I could keep that down. It is so much better. Not as much protein but if they say it is ok then it is fine with me. I am a gourmet and will be taking a trip at the end of July. I plan on trying in small amounts whatever I feel will be right for me at the time. I will just have to chew, chew, chew. and ENJOY
