    Hi y’all..Hope everyone is having a great day. I’m 3 weeks out just wondering if y’all have any discomfort when drinking protein shakes?? I can take about 5 sips then my stomach just starts cramping like lactose cramps. I drink premier protein but this past week it just feels like they r so thick and my stomach is like NOPE. Any suggestions on what else I can drink and will this continue once I start actually eating?? Right now I’m n the puréed diet but I eat like 3 bits and I’m done. I’m just worried about getting in my protein.

    Hi I had a lapband to sleeve revision surgery on 6/15. I feel ok just tired. I’ve read others comment on here and I’m exactly the same it takes me all day to get in my protein. The only problem I’m having off and on is right side pain. It comes and goes. I’m not sure if it gas pains or what. It feels like a catch or a bad cramp then it will just go away. Have any of y’all experienced this??

    I'm the same way. I was banded on May 18th and have only lost. 10 lbs. I'm going for my 3rd fill next week. I get really discouraged when my sisters point out that I haven't lost that much for what I paid for. I was self pay. I get really tired of hearing that. That's why I only told my immediate family. Some times I wished I would of told no one.

    I had my surgery on May 18 and I have still have not told anybody. The only ones that know is my husband, mom, and sisters. I don't feel like its anybody else is business. I live in a big gossip town. I think it's just how you feel.

    I was banded on 5/18. I lost 8 lbs and wasn't hungry until I changed to soft foods now I feel like I'm starving all the time. I go for my first fill on 6/19. I sure hope it helps with my appetite. I'm also struggling with wanting to eat what my family is eating. Certainly when we go out.
