Doctor told me liquids in the am and you can have lunch at 12 or 1..Had coffee this morning that went fine, had a spoonfull of yogurt like 20 minutes ago and im having the worst shoulder pain EVER...Im freaking out the pain is sharp and intense...How long should i wait for it to go away?? I know it was the yogurt I can feel it sitting there...Please help..Thanks

Didn't hurt! Just the pinch and I had to get up and do the X-ray with the needle still on me that was weird but not painful! I'm feeling better today! Had some soup and half a toast it went down fine just had to eat slowly and got full with half a cup!! Thanks for replying Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

i was having the same issue, nauseous, wanting to throw up and only slime will come up, waking up wanting to throw up and nothing! I called the doctor he asked what meds I was taking and I had just started the pill 3 weeks before he told me to stop to see how I felt and at the second day I was feeling so much better so I stop taking it completely. Good luck

thank you ladies

Im getting mine first fill today at 7:30 pm... Any advice?? Can I eat before I get it??

Jello, sugar free pudding, blend your Soups, and my favorite Protein shake is EAS advantage! Also make smoothies with plain Greek yogurt light soy milk, and protein power with some frozen berries! Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

I tried sooooo many and the only one I like is EAS advantage! I tried muscle milk, unjury, ensure was good too but the carbs and sugar on that are high, pure Protein, fort fortress, Atkins is okay not enough protein for me! The first week I was miserable the smell of protein shakes made me gag! On a moment of desperation I made my own smoothie used light soy milk, plain Greek yogurt, frozen berries and haf a scoop of vanilla protein powder!! Good luck Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk
