  1. Make sure you get a meal replacement shake because they are more thick and and take away the hunger. I did 2 weeks only meal replacement shakes, sugarfree jello, and that was all and it wasn't that bad don't get me wrong there where day I wanted to give up but just down a shake and you should be good.
  2. I will be updating how I am recovering cause I know I wanted to read as much as I could from everyone who was going through this so that way I knew what to expect.
  3. I am now banded as of this morning. When I came out of the surgery I did have a lot of chest pain and shoulder pain which is referred to as gas pain the nurse did give me some meds for pain and it helped out a lot. Now I'm at home and I took some gas x and that really helped I have not had any stomach cramping which I'm I thought I would just some shoulder pain but not as bad as I thought. I do feel very sore from the incisions that bothers me the most especially when I have to get out of bed.I am walking every hour for 5-10mins to prevent any blood clots. My surgeron and everyone did an awesome job!
