Hello all. I just got banded 9/11 and came home yesterday. My stomach keeps gurgling, especially after I drink something. Is that normal? And my left shoulder hurts when I take a deep breath. Anybody else dealing with that? It took me 30 minutes to eat 2 tbs of yogurt yesterday. Never thought that would happen in my life.

The shoulder pain is normal unfortunately. I was banded 9/4 and am still having the pain. Heating pad, GasX and WALKING are the only things that really seem to be reccomended for that. Stomach noises.. oh yes.. mine has been pretty noisey too. If you are having that much trouble with getting down a yogurt, I would stick to liquids. My doc had me stay on Clear Liquids for the first week anways. I just moved to full liquids, and then will move to mushies next week. But every doctor is different in what they reccomend. Hang in there.. I'm a week out.. it really does get easier!

Hey I just got banded on 09-09-08 and my doctor had me on straight broth for 3 days, so you know my stomach was growling like crazy. My left side has been aching a lot, but mostly when its time to go to bed. My doctor gave me a wedge to sleep on and I didn't use it until that next night and I put a pillow on top of it and I slept like a baby. I also sleep with a pillow between my legs. I must admitt that the first 3 days was hard, today I ate about 4 tsp of cream of wheat and I feel really good this morning and full.

I was banded August 21, so I am a liitle over 3 week out. Yes the left sided pain is unfortunely gas pains from them inflating your abdomen to do the laprascopic surgery, yes it hurts but it will subside after your body reabsorbs the gas. My stomach is always making noises, I am in the mushies stage, and I try to eat something about every 3 hours, I have 2 Protein shake a day, I could eat about 3 trust me.

I had my surgery on the 4th of August. I too had these same symptoms. I had a terrible time getting rid of the surgical gas. They said the more walking you do the faster you will be rid of it. My problem was when I walked it didn't do the trick so I called the nurse and she gave me permission to use chewable gasx. It did the trick.

...about the sloshing ...this is normal also until the swelling from the surgery goes down. When I experienced the sloshing it was the only time so far I had any nausea. I had my first fill this week.

Good luck!:)

What you had your first fill this week! I can't belive that because my doc will not do any until at least 4 to 6 wks after surgery. Well I wish I could do that. Well tell us how your fill goes.

Congrats!

It's actually been 5 weeks since my surgery. My surgeon wasn't in last week so I had to wait an extra week. I'm scheduled for my next fill in a month. You know I forgot to even ask about how much they did but I can tell it wasn't much. I have the Realize band and their literature says the first fill is only .5 cc. I have a conservative doctor with strict instructions and he believes in baby steps for the best long term success.

      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.
