under one of my cuts ( I was cut 5 times during surgery) I feel a lump. I was banded 5 days ago, and I have steadily been loosing weight since getting banded . now that the swelling in my shoulder is going down, is this my band that I am feeling, or could it be something else? I just noticed it.

The lump under your skin is most likely your port. Congrats on being banded and moving into the next phase of your life.

The bump is your port, will be alittle sore in the beginning. You can not feel the band from the outside. Good luck on your journey.

  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...

    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.
