My name is Shelly. I was also banded 8/16. How are you feeling? I'm still sore and have gas pains. Its tough for me to get in all my fluids but I am trying. Have you found any protein drinks that you can tolerate? The sweet ones make me nauseated. I appreciate any advice you have! :thumbup:

I'm happy to hear that I am not alone! My Bmi is 31 and my daughter is telling me how much she doesn't want me to have the surgery which totally makes me wonder if I am doing the right thing. I have lost and gained the same 25 lbs for the past few years. I cannot keep it up because I injured my knee with a persoanl trainer last November. Since then I have put that 25lbs back on. I'm 42 and its getting harder to lose. I feel like my life is being hindered by being 50 lbs overweight. My orthopedic dr told me that continued strenous exercise will result in knee surgery. Whats a girl to do??
