  1. hey everyone :smile2: i was just banded yesterday morning. man oh man am i sore! for 48 hours after im supposed to follow the sugar free/clear liquid diet (sugar free Jello, broth, sugar free popsicles) so i start up on my Proteins tomorrow. it was easier than i thought, and the staff at the hospital were amazing. im walking as much as possible but the soreness is in def full effect. i too have some shoulder and neck pain from the hospital bed but im hoping by thursday most of this will begin to fade. i have to be on these proteins for two more weeks before i can begin to eat soft foods. so far so good, good luck everyone!
  2. this is really hard :[ im on my fifth day and i keep cheating :thumbup: this is not good. :scared2: i've still got about 9 days. im hoping i can literally keep thy mouth shut before i get on the table on the 27th.
  3. i've yet to start the liquid diet. that comes on the 13th, but i've done HMR before and it's usually the first 2-3 days that i'm a monster. after that, it becomes easier.
