I was banded Nov 2nd and Currently I'm in the mushy stage and I need some help. Sometimes I'm stuck on what to eat. Any suggestions for me. What kind of unflavored protein do yall recommend?

To all the other banders from today I'd like to hear how you're doing.

Thank you guys for all your kind words. Just a little update. Fortunately I'm not in much discomfort just a little sore where my incisions are. Had little gas pain this morning but I seem fine now. I'm able to get up and walk around which is good. And the best thing is that I'm not hungry. All I've had is 4oz of on strawberry meal replacement and I feel content.

Well guys after 7 mos of prep. I'm finally getting banded today!

Thanks guys.

Thanks...just one question. What will I need the heating pads for?

I'm getting banded tomorrow and I wanted to know if anyone can share anything that will help for the recovery stage? I'm hoping for a speedy and minimal pain recovery

I'm finally getting banded tomorrow. I hope all goes well. Any advice or tricks for a speedy and minimal pain recovery?

I'm getting banded tomorrow...hope to have a speedy recovery. Congratz on ur bandvtoday.

Good luck!

Wow your surgeon actually gave u some good options...my diet is 3 shakes a day with an occasional sugar free popsicle or hello. I'm almost done

I'm on day 14 of the shake diet and at first it was rough but now I go through a day like nothing. What does your surgeon allow you to consume during ur shake diet?

I'm getting banded soon and I just wanted to see if anyone can give some advise on what to expect. Or any advise at all. Any info is appreciated. I've done my research just want some actual real life stuff. Thanks
