  1. Hey everyone, I was banded on 8/30/07 by Dr. Benavides in Richardson, Texas. I am having alot of trouble getting enough protein in. I have tried all diifferent kinds of protein drinks and they make me nauseous. I guess I understand now why they call the few weeks "bandster hell"! I do love my band and do not regret my decision. I'm just starving! I cannot stop thinking about food! I have been viewing these website for several months and have received so much valuable information. I'm so glad I found this website before my surgery. It really helped prepare me for what to expect.
