  1. i was banded on january 14th and was experiencing the same type of pains. my doctor had mentioned getting 60 to 70 grams of protein and suggested that I try a brand called MUSCLE MILK. Let me tell you, I started drinking one of those in the morning and it lasts me about 4 to 5 hours before I get hungry! I have another one and wow another 4 to 5 hours without hunger pains. Each protein drink is 11 oz and has 22 grams of portein and if it says chocolate milk thats exactly what it tastes like. They have flavors like banana cream, cookies and cream, etc. Each drink is only 210 calories. I feel energy and not hungey at all. Try it it really works.
  2. i havent had to take anything hot. i drink them with water one at a time. remember they are time release capsules so dont open them up. learned the hard way they dont dissolve very well in water it takes a really long time and they are hard to bust up hope this helps
  3. how many milligrams are you taking. are they the little white/blue pills? i was just banded on the 14th of January and have no trouble. i just take one at a time.
