I was getting that and sometimes still do but from what I have read on this forum it appears to be gas pain and the gas pain is alleviated when you walk around which I have noticed that the walking does help a lot. I guess if the protein shake helped then that is what is necessary - if that would help me I would probably do the same. I have been working hard to try not to eat at night.

:scared2::thumbup:Congratulations! Feels great to get into a smaller size.

:scared2::thumbup:hello all, hope today was a nice day for you. I did a 75 minute walk in the park!

:angel_smile:Good luck! A little prayer is sent your way! When it's done let us know how you are doing!

I'm feeling pretty good but still get the pain in my throat if I swallow too quickly and can't get the burp out. :confused:

:rolleyes2:Welcome!

Wow, that's amazing!:thumbup::drool: :sad: You also have great tips! Cheers to you and your continued success!:confused::party:

:thumbup:Looks like you've done fabulously!!!!

That's fantastic! Keep up the good work!

I'm having it and I had my surgery April 28 - I do believe it is gas though - i'm still burping quite a bit.

Hello fellow May 2010 fitness challengers, today was spent partially by walking and as yesterday a good deal of housework. Total walking time 40 minutes, housework 2 hours.

:drool:Love the tally - makes me feel more accountable.

Hello, thanks for posting this challenge. I walked mininum 45 minutes and did tons of housework and kept on moving, moving, moving. Have my ipod ready for tomorrow's walk.! yippee!

I want to start walking a minimum of 30 minutes daily.

yes, mine just started going away today 8 days post-op

Could you be having some post-partum depression? I went through that many years ago after my daughter was born and I was unsatisfied with my husband's share in the marriage.

Welcome! I was also banded on the same day and with the same hernia repair. (I saw your other post). I am also new to this site. Others will probably give you some great advice for what to eat in the first few weeks. sugar free jello is pretty nice.

Teburgess, check into this site often - sometimes just talking to other people who have had the procedure can get your mind off things. Good luck and don't give up.

Good for you! This site is a great support and there are so many supportive people with tons of great and useful ideas.

Hello and welcome! This article from msnbc has a pretty good take on Protein. Hope it helps. Protein 101: How much do you need? - TODAY Health

I know how you feel. I was quite slim some years ago and am embarrassed to walk on the main streets near where I live because my ex-boyfriend doesn't live too far away. Sounds funny probably but vanity is part of my personality. I do a lot of gardening around the house and walk around quite a bit but would like to start by setting a mandatory 30 minute walk - even if I have to use side streets. Walking even at a slow pace has always been recommended to me by chiropractor as I have recurring back problems. To me, that's a nice way to ease back into exercise and good time to spend with oneself.
