I had my surgery on a Thursday (4/17) and took off until 4/28. I felt I could have used more time off, just real timed. The week off gave me time to rest and relax. I am glad I did. My doctor too, said no driving for 1 week.

Salsa1877, those recipes look good. I think I will try them tomorrow. This is so hard. I just hope once I get my first fill (May 20th) that it will help a little more. Yes, everyone is correct about the healing part. I guess some of us just need to learn to use the band as a tool.

I am doing the same, except I am 4 weeks out. Have not tried popcorn, kinda nervious about that. I told my doctor how I have been eating, he just seemed to be concerned with any bread products because they can expand. He said remember you can drink as much as you want. The dietian said if you chew reaaly good, then that is soft food!!! Help---I am an eating machine. Yes, I seem to eat slightly less but still.

Hi Everyone, Tomorrow I will be banded. Can anyone tell me what stuff I need to take with me tomorrow for the hospital stay. I am sooo excited, yet nervous. Thanks for any help.
