Well it is not bad. I came home from the hospital yesterday. I had stayed over night. Highly recommend. Staying in the hospital lets you get the medication and antibotics you need through IV, very convenient. Well since I have been home, I have not needed to take any medication for pain, but everyone is different. My stomach still feels sore, but I get around better. I have too to chase after this 2 1/2 year old. lol So Today I had about a 1/2 a bottle of Isopure. Which is 40 grams of protein if I drink the whole thing (20oz) and I have a 16 oz bottle of water mixed with crystal light. Not hungry. But the doctor told me the first month is not focus on weight loss even though you will lose weight because just taking in liquids but it is to focus on healing the stomach from surgery.

From what Ive been experiancing..once you get the band, you dont really lose much. I guess when we get our first fill youll see it come off. So your dr. is right! Focus on healing..then losing.. its hard not to get discouraged!
