So far girl, that is what I have done is eat bascially what I ate before except a lot less. I do try to get a bit more protein than before, because I was told that was very important. I eat almost anything I want, but I have to eat reallllly slow. If not It locks up and hurts!!! I drink very little with meals, before I would drink about 3 glasses of liquid at a meal, now I might drink 1/4 to 1/2 glass. To me that is an improvement ..Sally14

Hello, I was banded July 6 also. I have felt really great. Lots of gas though. The Gas-X dissovable slips are wonderful. They are new, just like those breath sheets, just put them on your tongue. My friend was banded a year and a half ago and both of us have had this problem after surgery. Our left shoulder hurts worst than anything else. It will eventually go away . The Dr. said it was gas catching in that spot??? Sounds resonable. Just wondered if anyone else had that symtom. banded July6,2006 Dr. Jeffery Caylor Foley, Alabama

The anti nausea meds are what made me foggy and loopy. I am a hard stick and they treated me as a pin cushion and I didn't even care--- didn't even realize how many times they stuck me until I got home.
