I was banded on March 20, 2012 and haven't felt to bad until yesterday. I tried drinking the protein chicken soup and could not stand it. Shortly after I felt sick to my stomach. Then today again I drank a protein shake and about a half hour later j felt sick again. This time I actually vomited. I am now having lower abdominal pain. The pain is a constant pain and hurts more when I move. Does anyone know what this can be from and why the protein shakes are making me sick?

You should call the dr...could be many different things altho its *probably* gas and bloating from the liquid diet. I ended up just stopping the liqiuds it got so bad. But it wouldn't hurt to call them as it could be appendix, gallbladder, any number of things. For me, I just couldn't tolerate liquids anymore, I had such severe abdominal pain from the artificial sweeteners, and that in turn cause severe diarrhea.

In not sure... Sorry for your pain. Ask your doctor if you should be using the protein so soon after surgery. Mine didn't want us to use protein after the surgery for 4-6 weeks until we were cleared from mushy foods. Maybe try to stick with the soups, etc... I know it gets boring, but it will get better! Promise!
