Hello

I had a protein shake this morning and my stomach is growling, moving a lot. Is this normal? What is going on I am scared. Thanks

when were you banded?

I am about 7 weeks out at the moment, and I dont really have any restriction just yet. I get my first fill next Wed.

I called my Dr. and he told me that I was still in the "healing phase" and it was kind of normal. Right now I can eat almost whatever I want, and I only have the full feeling when I have real food. Especially real Protein and not in the liquid form.

I still had the hunger when I would drink Protein shakes and it went away when I was allowed to eat things like cottage cheese, and pudding ect.......

I was banded on july 13, 2009.

I really dont think you should have anything to worry about, Have you tried having any other type of Protien? I found that when I did the shake, it just seemed to go straight through the band area, and like you making my stomach growl :biggrin:

Things that I was allowed to have that helped were scrambled eggs, and chicken salad. the cottege cheese was a good one too, but I ate it with 2-3 crackers.

I would useally have about 1/4 C eggs, or 3oz chicken salad, or 3-4 oz cottege cheese with 2-3 crakers.

You could always get a hold of your Dr. too if it becomes an issue.
