WHAT SHAKES DO YOU RECOMMEND? I HAVE HUGE CONSISTENTCY ISSUES (too thick, too chalky,ect) I LOVE SPECIAL K Protein SHAKES, HOWEVER THEY HAVE TOO MUCH SUGAR AND NOT ENOUGH PROTEIN :-( Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Was banded this morning! Before I get to the "ugly" I want to say my overall experience isn't that bad! I was banded around 8:15ish, completed and sent to recovery 9:20ish. When I "came to" I was immediately hit by nausea, anesthesia has a way with me so I expected it. My pain was around a 7-8. They gave be the appropriate meds for nausea and pain. I went home around 2:30 after getting my GI X-ray and consuming about 5-8 oz of Water, and a all sugar free Jello. I'm home now, and are BATTLING this chest gas pain, along with shoulder pain! I took 2 chewable gas-x... No relief this far! ANY SUGGESTIONS? I'm moving around every hour on the hour. AND what did you all consume days #1 and #2 post-op? I CAN'T WAIT TO START MELTING OFF THESE POUNDS!!!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
