I was banded 3/27/13; After surgery I was sick from the anesthesia, I had to pee in a bed pan, my 16 yr. old son saw me at my worst. I really had second thoughts. I didn't have to do it, why did I. Now I am home surgery was a week ago and I am feeling 60% of my old self. I drove my son through Mc Ds and the teenager at the register gave me the wrong change. My son asks why are you making a case over a nickel, I told him I was more mad at the fact that I could not eat any thing on the menu. I know I could have ordered a shake, or a yogurt but I wanted a burger and fries. Can some one tell me what happens if I do not stay on a mesh diet for two weeks? My surgeon said 2 weeks of food that can go through a straw. What happens if I eat a cracker?
