I was also banded on the 25th about 10 am. Im not hungry, but I eat jello twice a day and sip chicken broth twice a day. I also have one sugar free popsicle a day and sip water and diet green tea throughout the day. The pains im having are straining to get out of bed or walking around gives me gas pains. Im wondering when I can have mashed potatoes though... What did your doc say?

Good luck! You obviously know what works and what doesn't, so you'll do just fine in getting to your goal!

I was banded yesterday and im excited to eat healthier, Im going to miss 2 things mostly: popcorn and chicken and dumplings! Lol I will have popables instead of popcorn, though, and its similar AND healthier BTW, I have a male friend 36 pounds down on lap band and would be more but he has a lot more muscle now! Dont forget Protein is very important in not losing muscle, especially in men. Heres an off topic question for you, how do you add a profile picture? I have the site and Android app. Thanks, and good luck!!

Thank you all!! I'm very excited about the next coming months! & @pink pink Dahlia.. You're so right, it's just like a pulled muscle, not too bad.

This is so sad to hear, my prayers are with her family tonight and justice for them to know that hospital cannot let this happem again

Cant wait to see pics in a month!! I was banded yesterday and trust me, the cravins are a mental thing, once you're banded, you won't think about them anymore! Remember to take your meds exactly as scheduled and there'll be minimal to no pain! Good Luck!

It's 12:24 am and I got banded about 10 this morning. I couldn't believe how fast it went by and how little pain I experienced! I have some pain now, but I have hydroodone for that After the surgery, I got x-rayed and everything looked good so I was able to eat a little jello and drink apple juice... Which was amazing because My throat was somewhat sore from the oxygen tube that was in my throat. Overall, easier than I thought!!

Yep, I would be as PISSED! I wouldn't yell at anyone because these are the people you have to deal with through a very difficult time, but i would def tell them
