Hi Gang...Alright the honeymoon is over...it's one week today since surgery and I am starving! Anyone else begining "BANDSTER HELL"?

I'm right there with you texgirly...your getting more down than me...I have no desire to eat or drink. I force myself to do it...I don't want to dehydrate. Eating the cream soups...so far so good!!

I go back in 4 weeks...I started "mushies" today...not very appealing...drinking protein water. When do you get your first fill?

Hi everyone....surgery was on the 4th, stayed overnight and feel like a million bucks! No drama here....just sorry I waited so long!! good luck everyone.....

Hey Texgirly....Me Too!! Liquids all day...have to be at the hospital 5:30 for 7:30 procedure!! Overnight stay only because I have a tendency to clot.
