Recommended Posts

Hi All...I was banded June 8th. I had some severe swelling issues day 3&4, which had subsided now. Aside from that I definitely feel restriction. My stomach is growling and churning and yelling at me (lol) but due to the restriction I feel I can't get enough food down to ease it! I'm also bloating as the day wears on...my tummy is relatively (ha) flat in the morning but by late afternoon I look pergnant, and the belly if firm. Are these 2 issues considered part of Bandster Hell or should I call my doctor? I have my first post op appointment on Tuesday 6/22. Thanks for any info you veterans out there can share! I really appreciate it!

If your worried- I would call the dr. office. It may just be gas, but a call may ease your mind.

thanks for the response...trial and error has led me to the conclusion that its really hunger pain...when I get food down it subsides for a while. The bloating is gas...every day is different!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
