I also got banded on Monday. I seem to still have gas that does not want to escape. And when I try to burp I get a heavy uncomfortable sensation in my chest where the band is. Today I went for a walk outside with my daughter and my calf felt crampy and when I got home I felt nauseous

Man it's rough, I feel like someone stabbed me in the chest, just like you.. My doctor also performed hiatal hernia the same time so was under over 3 hours ...one overnight stay, trying to get fluids down and one Protein Shake a day that's it...have been able to swallow my Vitamins but sore afterwards...i walked stairs and inside but i hear u you on the gas....

Take it one day at a time, it will get better with each day. Right now is a time recovery. They had me wait til I was on soft foods before they had me taking the Vitamins. They may be hard to get down with the swelling.

I am a week out now and I promise it gets better each day. I felt like that too. Hang in there, it goes fast.

      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.
