Thanks for your "reality " story. i have read tooo many sugar coated ones. mine was a little more like yours. i think the operating room did look like a torture chamber and it was freezing and i was annoyed by the some of the "personal conversations" the nurses were having. geesh, glad it's over. my problem was i couldn't wake up from the anethesia and i was there till 10:30 pm... all other fellow banders that day were long gone... i was wearing out my welcome.

so happy for you, your gonna do great.

hi, i was banded 9 days ago and the first week after surgery you need to let your stomach heal so my dr. had a list he gave me when i left the hospital that included, sugar free drinks like crystal light, sugar free jello( which i ate by the case) and, sugar free popcicles.after the third day i could have protein drinks like lo carb slim fast 3 times a day.

your dr. will let you know what you can have because all dr.'s are so different. just be ready to send someone out to the store to pick up a few things because during all the excitement you will need a "go fer" ..... good luck, and happy banding!!!
