Hey everyone my name is Rocky . I got my band on Monday and it took 6 hours to put in ?? Anyway I had a lot of gas but that has since died down a lot and the gas pain is pretty much down . I was wondering I still feel hungry a lot is that normal ? I'm only eating jello water and tea and I had soup twice just broth .

hi rocky i got my lapband done on the 24th jan and the wind pain has been terrible and also very stingy pain over the port cut still when i sit up from or turn over in bed but im following the book i got from the surgeons office called fork knife and band and you should be having 6 half cups of thin soup or smoothies or optifast shakes a day now plus you can have tea and coffee as well but small cups.i cooked up soups and blended them and they are very satisfying and full of nutrients as well so try a bit more so you dont have to feel hungry.

What are you guys drinking for protein ? What names and where do you get it would help me out a lot . Thanks Rocky

I use either muscle milk light or proti-diet protien drinks. Depending if I want a shake type drink or a fruit type drink.

How many muscle milks a day ? I would think 3 would make me sick

I just don't get how to consume 64 grams of protein a day . Sorry for sounding stupid lol I just wanna make this work

rocky im getting my band done tmwr my dr gave me a shopping list protein shakes with at least 20grms of protein and 4-5 grams of carbs per scoop i went to gnc they were so helpful oh and dr said 4 4oz shakes per day in the beging

Just went to gnc they were great , I got pure protein 35 grams a can . Best of luck. 2 Mar you will do great
