Well i have my first Dr visit after being banded tomorrow. Not sure what to expect, but i should be be on soft foods Wed also. i may wait until after the Dr visit to make sure everything is good. I was banded May 11th. i think im doing good so far.

Thanks for the info Ready, but i think i am going to end up going with the ones the DRs have at the office.I had previously checked about liquid, and my nutritionist stated she did not recommend liquid, due to it losing its potency. Apparently just sitting on the shelf, it can lose some of the potency, so you arent actually getting the amount on the labels. Who knew?? The ones at the office comes in crystal form so i can add it to water. That should be easier to swallow. ^_~

Lol, i know what you mean. He is pretty quick and to the point with me, but to be honest i kind of like that. I dont really need all the jibber jabber. I want to know whats going to happen, what i need to do, and how it affects me. I did have a lot of shoulder pain, but it has been better especially this morning. The gas was pretty bad also, but same thing, I am doing much much better this morning.

sweet. i saw you had a fill. hopefully you are in that zone. i just got banded on the 11th. i go back on the 23rd for my first follow up.

Good Luck!!

ohhh i just had to dl the app with all of you talking about it. i am still on liquids, but my username is Ifhbiff im going to start inputting as soon as i can eat. i was banded this past friday may 11

sounds good. i plan on heading to the store a little later to try something different

So i am still on liquid and have started to dispise my shakes. any idea on spicing them up? i dread when i have to drink them. i have strawberry flavor and a bannanna flavor. i do have sf pudding powders at home. any ideas?

Ok, so i start puree foods in a couple of days. i wanted to see what any of yall out there did to help with this phase. what kind of creative foods did you eat? my dr said anything i put into a blender and get pureed would be ok, but i want some good ideas. thanks all.

wow thanks. im going to make sure i have that site bookmarked for sure. thanks again. im still on the all liquid post op.

San Antonio here. banded this past Friday.

i feel the exact same way. man is it killer. i just had my lb surgery on friday, and i have a while to go before i am good again, i am excited about the future. but for now, ouch.

hope everything gets better. i was vomiting my first day home, but after the liquid meds, i got better. wish you luck.
