I needed at least 3 days there is some pain after surgery and anesthesia I could have gone back then but have physical job so dr didn't release for a week and then with some restrictions on lifting I have heard of people with desk jobs going back after one but it was very hard on them. Good luck to you!

I just posted about vit zero water check it out I love this stuff. I was having hard time finding something good drink too. Soo glad I found this

I'm the same way after my last fill no meats even slow cooked it hits my Band like a trapaline and right back out Not even a small bite. My band has its own mind I think. I can eat jerky dry hard jerky but not a hamburger party. Weird!

Put in blender 1 cup almond milk 1 cup Greek yogurt 2 tbs pb2 or peanut butter ( increases fat and cals) 1 med banana then fill blender with 2 cups or more if you like at 12 cals a cup of fresh baby spinach. Blend to liquid. Cals are 350ish 21 grams protein over 100 0/0 of vit A rich in iron , calcium , potassium and so much more. This really taste good great meal replacement If you like green Naked juice you'll love this even more

Oh another plus to this shake is that it is high in fiber which I really need off to make me one.

Hi if you find out or try them please let me know I'm moving to ABQ soon and need to find someone or I too will be flying back to Texas for them. But all the way to Houston for me. Thanks

Thanks for this list

Oh like the barf bad ideas I've been keeping empty drink cups in cup holder but those bags just might be answer for public bathrooms. Haaa

I too was getting stuck a lot and had lots of reflux at night suddenly I'm not stuck but still have restriction. He needs to invent some to prevent splash back those would sell like crazy. Haaa had a public bathroom splash that made me endup empting my stomach. Yuck!!!! Good luck with upper GI I plan on having one if reflux doesn't clear up soon sleeping with head of beds at 45 degrees is not very comfort but helps reduce reflux.

Haa I have drank several alcohol drinks no explosion. I can not drink as much as before not because of change in effect of drink as some say but because I get full. Take care though go slow see how it effects you.

The plane ride hasn't effected me but the change in levels has sea level and mountain level ect. I live at sea level and when fly back and forth my band gets tight first few days which ever way I go.

Had my second fill this month wow!!! I'm tight I have 3.5 total with last fill of 1 cc. In a 10 cc band I've had some pretty bad reflux with this fill late at night thinking I may have hiatal hernia and going to dr tue to ask for endoscope to check it out. I have lost 15 lbs this month since I can only eat about 1/4 cup at a time and I can not drink with eating or for around hr before or after. Now I get why they say that. Really hoping reflux will get better it's the only down fall right now love the tightness In every other way but I think it should get better as wt comes off if I don't have hernia. Wish I had checked for hernia prior to surgery since a lot of over wt people do have hh they could of repaired at same time. Good luck to everyone

Found protein chips 120 cals 22 grams protein 2.5 gm bags very good Also can get on kaysnaturals.com they have other protein snacks and variety packs. Bags about size of lunch box chips bigger than most 100 cal smack bags I'm picky and I love them!

I drink lots of coffee now two large sugar free vanilla ice coffees a day from McDonald's 120 cals each per fitness pal It's worth it to me but I make sure I drink at least two large smart waters a day too. I was a twelve pack a day soda drinker before yes 12. I quit slowly and had no caffeine for two months then decided to try it again and I started losing wt again? I did get a small full around this time too but the sweet coffee helps no eat other high cal sweets and I drink it slow do it last a long time less snacks. It works for me???

Found protein chips on amazon I bought crispy Parmesan they are 1.2 oz packages all natural gluten free 12 gms protein 120 cals 4 hm fiber. For the whole bag which is more than most 100 cal packages of snacks They are soooo good glad I took a chance you have to by case I can not remember price but not really more than any 100 cal snack packs. Sooo glagolitic I have a case I can grab these for work and not feel temped when everyone else is eat high cal no protein chips. Yeah

I googled them and other sites sale them maybe one of ship to canada or are in Canada ? Good luck!

Chck on their website kaynaturals.com. They may ship to Canada ? Good luck!

I figured out my price per bag which is 1.10 that includes shipping cost for me. The bag is size of lunch box chips. They have several flavors and these are the cheapest. I'm going to check in stores but with markup don't think I can beat the price. Come box of 12 bags

I too have very bad reflux at night. So I don't eat after 7 and following a blander diet nothing sour nothing spicy ect hopeful this will help I really have to watch portions too. Oh and I only have 3.5 cc in 10 cc band. This all started after second fill of 1 cc.

My dr has me drink liquids for 2 days then my mushies until I can keep everything down. In other words I had to eat mushies two days then try some reg easy to chew foods if I purged then I went back to mushies one day and so on 4 cc is a big first fill. I got 2 cc my first fill and now only have 3.5 cc total and I was banded in dec. 22.but everyone is different. I have been having reflux at night but it's getting better now so I'm not going to infill. You may consider unfill. I can only drink in mornings and eat between 11-7 then I tighten up in eve and cannt eat also this helps to reduce risk of night time acid reflux. I just have premier protein drink in am and one in eve if I get hungery. You have to watch cals though if you do this each premier protein is 160 cal 30 gms protein

I do wish I had done piclation with band it's folding the stomach in this way you still have all the stomach surface area for absorption of vitiams and minerals I did consider the sleeve but thought. Band was the option for me

Just got a 1cc fill leaving me with a 3 cc fill I have been having bad acid reflux. At night. Ill be sleeping and acid shoots up in my thirst chocking me. I have even raised head of bed taken nexium before bed but still wake up with reflux. Does this go away after a while I'm at good spot with fill other wise decreased hunger ect. I'm going to try drinking only shakes for tomorrow. Hoping not to have a unfill i dont have much in my band just 3cc ? Has anyone had this and it went away after awhile? Should I be eating different?

One thing to be aware of is protein strength lessens in hot liquids. They are not suppose to be heated over luke warm. Just a FYI
