hello everyone! i was banded on 11/19, and went home the same day...had lots of pain and didnt think the tylenol w/codeine was going 2 cut it...but i did lots of walking and sipping. by the 2nd day my sister was dragging me out of the house2 walk around my neighborhood and also 2 the grocery store. 2day is my 3rd day banded...no pain meds all day just gas x, protein shakes (little by little) and walking....im finally able 2 lie on my side, pull myself up w/o cringing in pain, and (release some of this built up gas)...i feel A LOT better, but am nervous about drinking too much and having some trouble remembering to keep sipping...i had 2 popsicles yesterday and got really full and freaked out for a minute then realized it was just liquids and calmed myself down lol...cant wait until i can at least have some "mushies" i have my tuna, faux lasagna (minus the noodles) dried beans for soups etc all stocked up....will continue to post as i go...

Sounds great! keep up the good work! and grats on being banded

My back and sides are extremely sore. I have been walking around and that seems to help with the gas. But my lower back is very sore like I have pulled a muscle or something. Hope it stops soon.

Hey MissPYT. what is that recipe for the lasagna sounds good. I was banded on 11/14 and NO mushies for my for another week. DRs order was 1 weeks of water, tea, ice chips and now 2 weeks of liquid only. So I am ready for my mushies of any thing other then liquids.

I made mine in layers in a bowl. Ff ricotta cheese, dash of nutmeg, spinach or zucchini that I blended first, tomato sauce, sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Heat in microwave.

It was sooo good. I even replaced veggies above with canned pumpkin once. It was to die for!
