How often do you get stuck. I get stuck about 3 times a week. I have no clue what I am doing wrong. I have been banded 9 months.

This isn't normal. you need a slight unfill!!

It sounds like you need a small unfill. You shouldn't be having pain when eating if you are taking small bites and chewing well.

I was banded on July 7th and am still wrestling with constipation! I don't want to get dependant on laxatives!

How many calories are you getting per day? Are you still adding protein to your food or drinking shakes?

I wasn't hungry at all the first week. I had to force myself to eat. I am 11 days out and just starting to get hungry. My doctor said I was doing so well that I could move onto mushies early. yipee!! I'm definitely not getting enough calories yet, either. Hang in there, this too shall pass!!

I'm ten days out and while my stomach has completely healed, my legs are still like rubber and painful like I just worked out too much. It's difficult to walk. I see the Dr. on Monday, so we'll see what he has to say.

I am 8 days out and feeling like crap, also. My legs are rubbery and feel like I worked out for 2 hours the night before....but I didn't. I hope this passes soon.

I am a week out and haven't had a bowel movement yet? Should I be concerned?

Hi, I was banded the same day as you. My doc says try to get 60-80 grms of Protein in by adding shakes and unflovred portein powder to your full liquids. I have been have cream of wheat, yogurt shakes and creamed strained Soups. What are yiu having?

Hi was banded on Thursday 7/7 and am quite sore. I haven't had any gas pains , luckily. I have no desire to eat, but took in some cream of wheat mixed with protein powder( yuck) and some yogurt with protein powder(yuck again) Were you told to put protein powder in all of your food?
