Thank you. I have Ensure in the morning, Premier Protein shake (Costco) for lunch, and for dinner it's either another Premier Protein Shake or a weight loss shake (Costco). Plenty of Water in between. Between Breakfast and lunch, I have this multi-Vitamin mix that you mix with 16 oz of water (costco, again). So I try to get that in. I really don't have much of an appetite, but I try to get some calories in. Once in a great while if I do feel hunger, I'll eat a cup of sugar free Jello or sugar free pudding. Thank you.

I'm 11 days post-op and I'm down 22 pounds.

Hello! I was banded on the same day as you. The post-op pain wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. I saw/heard the lady that was banded before me and she was crying out. Not sure if it was from pain or from the anesthesia, or perhaps a combo of both. But from what I was told, I didn't make a peep. I get a few sharp aches in my left shoulder and back from the gas, especially when I try to burp, but other than that, the incision sights pain is dull.

Hello! I am new to the site, as well. I'm scheduled to get banded on May 25 (Memorial Day Weekend). It was only a month ago that I went to a seminar and had some tests done. It's more surreal to me now that I already have a date scheduled. Can't wait!
