Hey I was banded on 11-18-10. I could not stand the taste of the protein shakes so I bought me some sugar free pudding mix and would mix it in with the protein shake. It made it thicker, which helped me to stomach it, and gave it a better flavor. Unfortunately, I have a large hematoma on my port site and I am unable to get a fill.I havent been losing much weight the last few weeks but have not gained any either. Hoping and praying I will be able to get a fill on 1-12-11. But dont think so cause the knot is still there on my port.
