send2steph 26 Posted September 7, 2014 Regarding the gastric distress from Protein Shakes - I'm wondering what type of shakes you have tried? I can't do whey Protein as it causes lactose intolerance symptoms. I prefer to not eat soy. There are veggie Proteins (pea flour and such) and I have one brand on order to try of that. The other options I've used are egg protein and beef (!) protein. The beef one is relatively new to the market and I really like them. I've tried two brands and one is "fluffier" than the other but both end up making really creamy shakes. Finally, you can try adding Gelatin to a smoothie.< /p> http://www.amazon.com/Great-Lakes-Unflavored-Gelatin-Kosher/dp/B0008D6WBA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jencathen 16 Posted September 9, 2014 I'm so glad I found this thread. I was feeling so discouraged because I feel hungry all the time and have eaten more than I should. I had the lap band surgery on 8/27/2014 and I have only lost about 2 lbs. I go back to see my surgeon on 10/7 and I hope that I can get a fill at that time. Also, now I'm clear to eat regular food instead of just pureed so maybe that will help. I hope... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sylvia45 29 Posted September 10, 2014 I've only 8 days out and feel hungry too according to my scale I've only lost 2lbs too I feel really bloated also to . But I'm not going to worry to much .
