Miamipeaches467, I was banded on 3/11 and still have roving, sharp mystery pains from time to time. Of course, call your doctor right away. But I saw my doctor and was checked out thoroughly and all is really well. I exercise regularly and vigorously now and every few sessions I have a little pain. Good luck. I hope you'll share what your doctor says.

I choose Jay Robb's Egg White Protein Powder. The shakes taste great and are less foamy than whey. Vanilla, Chocolate and Pina Colada flavors are available. I lift weights so I drank them before being banded and they were perfect for the two weeks I had to be on liquids only. Now I am onto real food - mushy - and still supplement with a shake in the morning. You can get it at any Whole Foods or Vitamin Shoppe. (I was banded 3/11/08 Dr. Jeremy Korman - Los Angeles. 13 pounds down so far.)
