I am thinking about after you have moved onto eating regular food, how do you handle eating at places like the cheesecake factory or Japanese restaurants, Chinese , Indian, Thai? I know how to deal with these eating out situations from long time membership in weight watchers. But, I would like to hear from successful banded people who handle these situations. Thanks!

Ok... MD removed fluid from band and I felt almost instantly better. Can even speak more easily! Now can get on with the healing part. Feel great.

I understand it is a high protein grain. I am newly banded and looking at recipes.

Was banded on Monday . Did ok post op. ate required amount in hospital day after. Tuesday night, should have crushed the Percocet and taken with applesauce /pudding. Cut into 6 pieces and got stuck. Chewed a papaya enzyme tablet, and was better. Yesterday, 2 days post op, couldn't drink more than 8 ounces water, still trying to sip slowly. Seeing MD today , maybe swollen? Maybe need some fill removed? Left shoulder pain that I use heating pad and walking to help, also stretching. Anyone had similar experience with water? Thanks.
