I was banded on 5-8 and have already made a big mistake, my post op diet said I could drink cream Soups put through a blender. I did potato Soup and have been in pain now for 7 hours. Don't do it stick with clear. Potatoe soup is evil. The other strange sensation is my stomach is growling. That never occured to me I'd be hungry. Didn't have much pain at all afterwards, not from the gas or even port area. ONly if I try to sleep on my side which is hard not to do.
