I was banded in June. I have noticed that I have been getting what looks like hives on my arms. Has anyone who has been banded have any input on this. I thought perhaps it was something that I'm eating or not eating- or even the Protein Drink (which I hope not as I LOVE my Protein drink).

I haven't been banded yet, but have had hives more times then I can count and it was usually from something in the environment. Make a list of all the new foods, cleaners, Vitamins, makeup, shampoos,, etc.. anything that you have used or eaten that is different.. If you think it is the Protein Shakes, try a different one just for a few days and see if that helps.. Its very annoying, but if you let it go it can get worse.. I went through a spell with it and I got to a point where I was having trouble breathing,, come to find out it was a certain type of cleaner we were using in our new softpool.. Hope you figure it out,, its really annoying!!

Hmmmm...a love affair with a Protein Drink? I want one of those :) What protein are you using?

It sounds like an allergy, so there must be something new that you have been exposed to and I doubt it has anything directly to do with the band. Definitely pay attention to new things you have been in contact with or ingesting. Benadryl works great but I swear it puts me to sleep. For some reason Benadryl seems to work like a sleeping pill for me.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
