So how is everyone doing that was banded this month? I feel fine - still healing...but overall fine. i have lost 17 lbs so far - and it kind of freaks me out that I feel so well. Each day gets better and better...I don't want to over do it. My daughter had a sleeve done through my insurance in 2010 - they kept denying me stating I didnt have the insurance coverage. I finally - decided to just do it for myself. But, I can tell you my experience is worlds different then hers. She was super sick...I have not thrown up, or had any issues - besides all the regular ones. Gas, etc. She looks so awesome - coming up to her 3 year mark and I so excited to start this journey. Although I know we had different processes. I think my sleeve is not tight at all...I have no issues with drinking or anything...I actually had a small piece of mahi mahi blackened and a few pieces of steamed broccoli and cauliflower for lunch. I was just so hungy. I chewed well, and waiting to drink...and no issues.

I was banded on 2/14/13 Rcaruthie

Do you add anything to your shakes or just add water and ice and mix or blend?
