it is most likely still gas trapped inside, i had it for awhile as well until until i got up and walked around the house.. like doing laps.. helped me

It is a personal decision to tell or not to tell...everyone is different. I do feel however that people will judge and have chosen not to tell that I'm banded - now four years for me...I have made goal weight, popped back up and back on my way back down. The only person I answer to is myself - good or bad.

Sorry I never heard of that one. I like the New Whey Liquid Protein Shots (Fruit Punch or Watermellon). You can get at Vitamin World or GNC. They are low calorie, low sodium and 42g of protein. Take half at breakfast and half at dinner/lunch - since you will only absorb about half of that at a time...great way to supplement your protein. Just saying...
