Thanks! I just added that to my shopping list. I'm getting banded on the 18th. I remember having a lot of gas with my 2nd C-section because I had my tubes tied then. The nurese said it was worse that time because they had blown up my stomach with gas & moved things around. Wish I had known about the Rolaids then!

I am getting banded on 3/18. I start my clear liquids on 3/8. Can anyone tell me about how much protein you should have per day? One website I looked at said .75 per k of body weight. Since I'm at 300 lbs that would be a lot of protein!! Also I've read that sometimes after banding it's possible to become lactose intolerent. Does this happen right after banding? Does it have to do with sugars in the milk? I drink skim milk with my coffee & love dairy. I appreciate any info you can give!!
