I was banded 12/14. I have lost 32 lbs. I seem to be able to eat just about anything but bread and some meats. Yes, they get stuck. I am also very hungry all the time. I exercise 6-7 days a week 30 min to 1 1/2 hours, walking, bicycling and weights. Adding protien helped but I am still hungry all the time.

I am stretching and taking a bariatric chewable vitamin. I was having a little problem with this before I was banded but now this is very intense.

I have been walking briskly for about 2 months now. I have got up to 3 miles 3 times a week on a walking path. The other days only around 2 miles on a treadmill plus weight training 3-4 times a week. The past 2 weeks, I have had severe cramping in my calves and my back hurts really bad. I am 54 years old so that may have something to do with it but I feel as if I am missing something in my diet, vitamins or something. I have also stopped losing weight which has not been coming off real well anyway. I have to keep an eye on the calorie intake to be sure I get at least 800 calories a day. I have started a protien shake but the cramping is still there. Any suggestions appreciated.
