[Bill White 5]

If any one would like to get a Protein Drink that has 24g in it and you only need to drink 2.5 oz I looked up what they gave me while I was in the hospital and it can be bought online. HEALTHY SHOT http://www.healthy-shot.com/healthy-shot_high_protein_drink.html heres a link they are fruit flavors

14 days post op... Gas has been bad 3 days now anyone else still feeling it? Is my body still settling to the changes? Still have an incision that's a tad sore too

Bill does it still keep you full never though you're only drinking 2 oz instead of 8... I know the Protein is what keeps you full but still just curious. How did it taste and what flavor do you prefer?

Hello fellow bandsters! I was banded yesterday July 24th! I am home and just attempted to eat chicken broth with pure tasteless Protein added! Two spoonfuls and I am done! Is that normal?

Ate 2 scrambled eggs and toast for lunch today. It tasted awesome. But now it feels like a lead bomb in my gut!

I'm having bad gas pains today too (Banded last Wednesday) which haven't been a problem for me really until today. Very strange! And my abdomen is tight/sore when I inhale deeply. None of this is really bad or too miserable - but just curious as to why it is just now a problem this far out.

That's what I was wondering everything was going great then gas came back. I also had a bm and it was black. I looked it up and it said blood but since then my stomach and gas have been feeling better. I also have been taking the activated charcoal. Any thoughts? Also me scale hasn't moved and I'm frustrated!!

Just looked it up activated charcoal can cause black stool

Ok buddies... I am day 6 and I am still having the awful shoulder pain... how long does that last? It's almost unbearable... it feels like a muscle is pulling. I really want to try the charcoal stuff someone suggested instead of gas x to see if it works' date=' but I'm having trouble finding it. Also.... after I was banded on July 18th, I woke up not I'm pain anywhere else except my throat. They said it was normal for it to be sore, but it's still sore :/ is that normal? I am also feeling like I'm having restriction (for lack of a better word) when I am taking full deep breaths... should I be worried?? Sorry to be such a bother...[/quote']

Did you get a hiatal hernia repair too? My doctor told me the muscles that are around the hernia run to the shoulder. I was banded 7/11 and I still have left shoulder pain especially at night. Try a heating pad it helps but it is not gas and gas x will not help it. H

I am totally still having problems with this, but I'm only a week out... still ugh

[Ricksgal_96 24]

And can you tell me... did the activated charcoal help more than gas x you think? It was kind is expensive where I found it, so I would love to know it works before buying it

Banded on July11,2013. My journey has begun and feeling great. Feeling changes already. More energy and less pain in my knees. This week I joined the gym and ready to begin with a trainer.
