I was banded Aug 28 and after 4-5 days I felt so much better. You body went through a huge shock and needs to calm heal. Trust me all the weird feelings you have shall all pass and you will feel like a new person.

You should write a letter to the corporate office and send a copy to the newspaper. This is unfair

I used Milk Of Magnesia (spelled wrong oops) I had the same symptoms. Hang in there it shall pass and you will feel better soon. Myrolax also works great and it has no taste to it.

I had the same thing happen to me. The funny thing is I have never had one symptom for the hernia. I see my doc Wed and will be asking many questions

This brand is what I use I also add crushed ice and blend. You can also add SF sryup and it makes the drink taste so much better.

I used a heating pad on my belly and shoulder for pain. I also used Gas X strips and they did help. I only had pain for 2-3 days . As for the BM I used Mryolax and that helped so much. Drink lots of water. Hang in there this shall all pass and you will be on to a new life. Best of luck to you

Welcome to bandland--The pain will pass in a few days.. Best of luck to you

Awesome job!

Welcome, I was banded on Aug 28th and doing the liquid diet as well. Best of lcuk to you

I had the same issue as you It was horrible. It lasted 2-3 days and then went away. Your body went thru a huge shock with surgery and a diet change. I called my doctor just to be sure it was ok and they had me take imodiam (spelled wrong oops) AD and that helped me. Ask your doctor if its ok to take this medicine first. I wish you the best and stay strong

I use whey protein I buy at Wal mart in a big container for $14.00 it had 25 Grams pro. It comes in Van or Choc. I use a scoop with crushed ice and blend. I have also added SF flavoring and its very good. The powder mix last along time

Welcome! I was banded on Aug 28th and feel really great. I had minimal gas pain and no incision pain. I have read so many post here on how much pain people went thru. I was lucky I guess and I am so excited for the future. Best of luck to you

Look at the bright side of the Apnea. Once you get the band and loose weight the Apnea may also go away.

Congrats I am excited for you..Keep us posted on your surgery date

I was banded 8-28-08 with the Realize band, I am doing great and I love the access you get to the Realize website you can track success and diet its great

Try mixing your shakes in the blender with ice add some frozen fruit. It makes a huge differance. The shakes get old and made me want to vomit from the taste. Also try SF flavors like strawberry or coffee whatever you like. Be creative with your drinks. Best of luck to you

Be strong you can do it. I did 2 weeks liq then three more weeks liq and now post op 4 more weeks of liq- its hard but this is part of the process for healing and you can do it.
