Anyway I had a lot of gas but that has since died down a lot and the gas pain is pretty much down . I was wondering I still feel hungry a lot is that normal ?

mally 0 Posted January 28, 2012 hi rocky i got my lapband done on the 24th jan and the wind pain has been terrible and also very stingy pain over the port cut still when i sit up from or turn over in bed but im following the book i got from the surgeons office called fork knife and band and you should be having 6 half cups of thin Soup or smoothies or Optifast shakes a day now plus you can have tea and coffee as well but small cups.i cooked up Soups and blended them and they are very satisfying and full of nutrients as well so try a bit more so you dont have to feel hungry.

Joyce Real 21 Posted January 31, 2012 I use either muscle milk light or proti-diet protien drinks. Depending if I want a shake type drink or a fruit type drink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
