I was banded on 2/6/08 and was suppose to be able to eat some protein. It seems like everytime I try and eat proteins, I get stuck and end up PBing. I am PBing everyday and it is very frustrating. I am not a big fan of the protein shakes and have tried them in different smoothies. I am going to try some of the suggestions, like drinking hot tea before meals and not eatting solids until later in the day. But I am so frustrated and doubting my decision.
