This is going to be a fresh thread for all the band buddies that got banded July 2013

Hi all! I was banded this morning 7/26 and so far I'm feeling great! So thankful!

I was banded on July 12th. My stomach just feels upset a lot The past couple of days. I am hoping that this will go away.

I am going to purchase some protein at Walmart today. I came to my boyfriends and forgot my protein... Also finally slept on both my sides last night and woke up with zero back pain.... I mean after over 2 weeks it was about time my poor back got a rest! Still a little gassy but I'd rather that than a sore back anyway. My sides are a little sore but not that bad.... So far down 16 pounds woot woot!!!

Enjoyed reading all your stories and experiences about getting banded this month. I was banded on 7/23 and as most of you all have experienced the ups and downs. Its day 4 post op and I can honestly say I have improved greatly with the pain...Unable to take the liquid percocet, I have been allowed tylenol pills which I can tolerate thankfully. I was prescribed some zofran for the nausea which is huge because 2nd day post of I got the dry heaves but my doc said not to worry...It's all a learning curve and sure does suck to be on liquids only, but one more week and I can get up to the mashy's!! lol never thought I would be so exicted to have eggs or mashed potatoes!! I look forward to reading more and hopefully talking to people about this!

If you get the brand Body Fortress chocolate flavored Protein powder from Walmart it is actually pretty good! Mix one scoop with 6oz of skim milk and there are 30 grams of protein! I tried Isopure first but honestly it taste awful! Hope maybe that helps!

Is it whey concentrate or whey isolate?? Whey concentrate has a lot of lactose and gives me the WORST upset stomach..... powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury is pure whey isolate and <1% lactose. Also zero fat and zero carbs, and 21 g protein.

Ordered some today, the unflavored variety. Will see how it goes

I looked on the container and it is 50% whey concentrate and 50% whey isolate. It is a brand the nutritionist at my surgeons office suggested. Let me know how the UNJURY is if you don't mind! :-)

I've been a little apprehensive about starting to exercise, however I spoke with a friend last night about something that might help. I downloaded c25k 5k trainer, its free and supposed to take you from couch to being able to do a 5k in some period of time. I am not sure the time period I didn't do that much research on it and after day 1 I'm actually looking forward to day 2. It started out with a 5 min warm up then alternated between 60 sec of jogging and 90 sec or walking (20 min total) then a 5 min cool down for a complete 30 mins. I actually laughed at the app when it said begin running. Instead of running I increased the incline and speed on the treadmill then when it told me to begin walking I dropped it back down. To be honest I didn't think i would make it through the entire 30 mins but I am goal oriented and kept an eye on the timer and kept telling myself to push forward. You also have the option to listen to music while doing it and it will interrupt and tell you to speed up or walk or cool down.
