I felt the same way. After I drank it felt like I had just finished thanksgiving dinner and it was kinda hard to keep drinking. I am one week post op today and I can tell you it gets easier to drink without having that super full feeling all the time. Especially too as all the gas passes and we continue to heal it gets much easier! :-)

That's awesome!! Congrats on such a fantastic weight loss!! Keep up the good work on becoming a healthier you!! :-)

Going to the Dr tomorrow for my first post op visit. Excited to see if I am down at all. I'm finally starting to feel like myself again. Still have some pain and gas but nothing like it was. I also had a hernia repair so the pain in my belly button is awful. I haven't been able to lay down and sleep in my bed since surgery, too painful. Hoping that I can soon cause sleeping in a chair in the living is getting pretty uncomfortable! Lol Sprinkle715 thank you so much for telling me about the isopure! Your a life saver I was finally able to get all my protein in today without trying to drink 36oz of shake!!! ???„

The phlegm that you are coughing up I did to. It's from the breathing tube they put in after your asleep and take out before your in recovery. Same thing that gave us the sore throat afterwards. I was nervous that I was sick so I asked my doctor and that's what he told me! Hope that was helpful :-)

Me too!! Welcome to the club lol :-)

Thank you!! I'm going to go there today and get it! Hopefully it will make it much easier for me to get all my protein in!! Much appreciated :-)

That's a good idea! I didn't think to make my own Protein Shake. I have been drinking lean shakes from GNC and they have 25 grams of protein per shake and each shake is 14 oz. What kind of protein do you use if you don't mind me asking. I'm gonna try to make my own so this way I get more protein in!

Also sorry for the tmi but I haven't had a bm since the morning of my surgery. I have take milk of magnesia 3 days in a row and no result. Any suggestions on what else I could be taking?

Hi everyone! I was banded on the 10th. I feel pretty good. Still have some uncomfortable pain in my upper abdomen I'm guessing where my port is. I only have 2 incisions and the one in my belly button is killer!! I'm not sure if I have lost anything yet I don't have a scale (kinda better that way lol) but my post op appt is Thursday so ill find out then. I have a question. I can't get more than one to one and a half protein shakes down a day without feeling so full it hurts. Anyone else experiencing this? My husband told me about this site and I have to say it so nice to see so many people support one another and give advice! Very heart warming!! Hope everyone else is feeling well!!

Congratulations and good luck to you!!!

Hi everyone! I was banded at NYU on Wednesday. Feeling pretty good just some pain at the incision sites and some gas pain. Anyone have any remedies that can help with some of the gas pain? Also I have been trying to drink but I fell like I am so full after 2 sips of a protein shake. Is this normal?

Thank you!! I can't wait to see where this journey takes me! :-)

Thank you! I will try the heating pad!!
