I find it doesn't stop but does not smell usually. I burp very loud now and my stomach gurgles a lot mostly at bed time.

I drank it after the surgery without any problems, just slowly. I live in MA and we have a super market that sells Body Fortress for $15.99 or $16.99 and some times on sale for less. Good luck with everything.

I buy Body Fortress for around $15-$17. at Walmart. CVS and Walgreen's charge more but they sell it too. I only buy chocolate. I use 2 scoops with 8 oz. of fat free milk, tons of ice cubes, a little decaf instant coffee and some peppermint extract. Tastes great and is very thick like McDonald's thick shakes. I have this every morning for breakfast and it fills me for 4-6 hours.

the 2 scoops fill me for 4-6 hours. This morning I used more than usual ice cubes and it was super thick and I liked that much better, also.

That was true and super. I have missed your wonderful thoughts and education. Hope everything is well with you and hub. Be well and keep them coming. Arlene

I do 2 scoops and its 52 grams of protein.

Very sad. I am happy though you found a new doctor. Maybe you can file with your state medical board something about the first doctor. Good luck with everything

I drink only chocolate shakes. I add peppermint extract and decaf instant coffee for added flavor and in the blender I add a lot of ice. I use skim milk, also. They are wonderful. I have been drinking these for 1 year now and they are my only breakfast and after a fill I have them for 3 days. You will be fine, we have all done it and still do it.

I have about the same fill and I have Snacks that are on my list from the dietitian. In a while I am having watermelon Best to call and ask before you eat wrong

dumb leg presses!

I don't drink, so I have no idea about the wine. But my SIL drinks wine all the time and has lots of ice and waters it down. Maybe try that. My doctor doesn't want me to eat and drink within 30 minutes of each other, so how do you dine and drink at the same time unless your doctor lets you. Well, anyway, have a wonderful date night-enjoy a great movie.

I had the band the end of July and recently at the gym I did something and my port hurt for a few days. Oh, ya, I did leg presses. I guess I had the seat too close to where you place your feet. I now push the seat further back. My hub thinks I used different stomach muscles that day. I sometimes sit at the table too close and hurt the port. I know, I am weird but it's the truth.

I love pork but it is too hard to chew. Lean lamb is super. I bought a rack of maybe 8 chops and cut in 2's and made 1/2 of it. No I did not weight the meat. I never do because I usually buy everything in 4 oz. portions at the stores where I shop. Because of the bones I just estimated. I browned the rack on all sides then put the pan in the oven to cook the insides for about 10 minutes on 450. They were pink inside. Good luck and enjoy.

Sorry to hear your story. Hopefully you can maintain your current weight. Good luck.

As I read everyone's responses it is amazing that so many people swallow pills. I was told never by my doctor I buy most of my vitamin and minerals from Bariatric Advantage. The company rep for NE has been a speaker at my monthly support groups more than once. We have had tastings also of their protein drinks.

I did 2 weeks liquid with a small dinner with salad. Right before surgery, I think 3 days was all liquid. It was not bad. Bad is being obese and unable to move and walk without stopping. The rewards of the band are so worth the liquid per-op. when I get a fill I go back on liquids for 3 days and then 3 days mushies You will do great
