Was just banded yesterday and am sipping my first protein shake as I type. I feel rather good. A little tight in the abdomen but not a lot of pain. Alot of the gas it gone, slept pretty good, and had no problem putting on socks and getting dresses.

I had a great surgical team in Dr. Johnson in John's creek GA and at Emory John's Creek. All of the team was GREAT.

I had lost 20 pounds preop and looking to move the scale a lot in the coming weeks.

Thanks to all on this site. You provide such great information that nothing that has happened so far was a surprise.

I can't believe they made you eat before leaving the hospital. I was only on clear liquids there, now on Protein shakes and one other clear liquid for a week. I have no interest in real food right now.

Good luck to you. Drinking liquids may make you feel better.
