I have lost 94 lbs. I tried eating some fish last night, just a couple of forks full and I starting vomiting. I have no restrictions. I had a Protein Shake this morning for Breakfast , with no problems.

sounds like you must have restriction if a couple of bites wont go down and is coming out. As far as the Protein Shakes going down ok, they should because that is a slider. If this has been going on for 3 weeks, maybe you need a little bit taken out.

Seems like your system is irritated...perhaps it would be helpful to return to a liquid diet for a day or so to allow everything to calm down.

BTW, I was advised by the dietitian that Protein bars, along with any type of granola bars are not good choices for the Band diet.

Hope you will feel better fast!

Why no Protein bars?

Go see your doctor and have them check it under xray! Could be a stretched pouch tilting your band. I had a similar problem. They took out my Fluid 4 weeks ago in hopes that my pouch and band will go back to where they should be and then I can get fills again. I go back in 2 weeks to check. The longer you wait, if that is the problem, the longer it could take for you pouch and band to get back in place. Go see your doc asap!

Why no Protein bars?

My dr has never said no protein bars. In fact, he sells them in the office!

Holly Dolly good idea, I will start a liquid diet tomorrow

I am surprised on the Protein bars, my dietician recommends them. I did try granola bars, no good. I do have an appointment with my Doctor, but not until 6/29/12

are you living through undue stress right now?? sometimes stress can make the band a lot tighter. it does with me.

      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.
