I've had my lap band for about 4 and a half months now and I have been doing great I have already lost 52 pounds but here lately for the past month or so I get this pain on the left side of my stomach and if I lay down it calms down but if I walk it hurts more... I comes and goes but I think I get it more after I eat! HELP!

Thanks for responding I feel a bit better now that I'm not the only one.... I was thinking maybe my appendix but my pain has been on and off for over a month I doubt that wud be my appendix! Lol

O I was banded on 4/26/2012 and have been losing a pound a day if not more ever since but then yesterday I got on the scale and gained 2 pounds then this morning 1 more is this normal???HELP!

Oh ok thanks after reading this I feel much better

I was banded on the 26th of April tomorrow I start full liquids, anyone have any good advise on what to eat?

S it ok to eat lime juice when ur on the liquid diet? I had my surgery on 4/26/2012

I got my lap band on 4/26/2012 and I had been feeling fine and today I have these shoulder pain/gas pain and I walk and walk and it don't seem to help please help!!

Thanks everyone liquid Tylenol and heating pad is doing the trick

I'm in so much discomfort I almost feel like I regret this lap band!!

Thanks everyone

No

Had my surgery yesterday morning and nothing tastes good to me and my chest hurts

When do you start feeling back to normal? Is it till you start eating solids?

@twins4me2 is it really flavorless??? I get grossed out very easily!

Wow!!! That us wonderful wish I had gotten one of them bibles!!! And thanks for the website!

I guess so.....

@rebecca did she say anything bout protein on the mushies diet?

No I'm not saying ima go straight into reg food I'm just saying I wonder what wud happen if I just ate the cream of chicken and the yogurt etc.. With ought the sprinkled protein

That ain't protein is it? I wonder what wud happen if I just don't get the shakes or the powder protein and just eat my food?

Well they gave me this diet I'm supposed to follow and it says how I'm supposed to sprinkle powdered flavorless protein on my meals after the first six days of liquids and I'm not sure where to get this powder at cuz Walgreens don't have any! And I HATED the protein shakes so there is no way in hell ima drink them lol! HELP!!!!!

Lol whoop whoop that gonna be a great bday!! Happy for u

Well I feel ur pain haven't felt dizzy but I have had shortness of breath and well I just want to go back to eating, I don't care if it's only fat free foods or diet foods I just need to chew on something TIRED of the liquids!!!

My husband has been doing the diet wit me to show me his support which is so sweet of him! And it makes it a bit easier for me. I've been thinking bout pampering my self a little to kinda keep my mind off of this weird feeling I have in my stomach! I have a question bout the protein powder we r supposed to put on our food after the first week what kind of powder do u guys use? I had my surgery 3 days ago and I've only lost 1 pound so I'm hoping for more weight to be coming off here pretty soon! It's so nice to have this app I absolutely love it that I can talk to other people that r going through this or have gone through it!! I'll hang in there hope u guys do too!!!

I heat feeling nauseous and hungry on a liquid diet! I just want it to go away already

Ok thanks so much!!!! I'm so glad I found this app now I don't feel so alone!
