Same here! I was banded eight days ago! I am excited and scared all at once. The six months of waiting, doing supervised wl with my family doc. was the worst! The surgery itself has been easy and I would definitely recommend it to others at this point!
I feel your pain! I was banded on 4-13-09. I am dying to chew something. Sugar free gum helps some but not enough. I am supposed to stay total liquid for 2 weeks. I may starve. I too hate the protein shakes!
