OKay, I am not quite 2 weeks post op. I understand the need for blended foods but I have to tell you, I can't wait to eat something with FLAVOR!! With texture.......anything but a #@!% Protein shake! :thumbup: Sorry....I am not really hungry but I am sick of the monotony of the post op diet. I didn't obsess about food before surgery, but let me tell you, I do now!!! I go to soft foods on Tuesday and I think I have my first 2 days already planned, bite by bite. Thanks for listening to my whine.:eek: Jackie

I was only banded on October 27th. I too thought I would go back to my job on the Monday after. Well...I finally went in for a half day yesterday and had to work from home today. You are correct though, each person is different.:eek:

Hi, I was banded last week. So far, so good. Hungry a little but not horribly. I really think I am not eating enough but I am working on that. I am looking forward to being able to eat more real food next week. I am excited about my progress. But I am worried.....I am doing well but don't feel any restriction. I am worried about food getting stuck. If it gets stuck, do you vomit like you do when you are sick...do you have any warning??? I am almost afraid to start eating real food again. :frown: Sorry....my brain just won't stop!

I was banded on October 27th. Now I have had many surgeries and I have to say that the pain at my port was the worst pain I have ever had. It changed from an acute, burning, tearing pain to a more dull pain two days ago. It is now tolerable. I only get the burning pain if I move funny. I am very swollen and bruised at the port site as well. But so far, I love my band....
