tonyawilliams 0 Posted December 4, 2008 Hi, I was banded November 19th. Surgery went well, however, I tried doing those shakes up until November 28th when I finally spoke to my surgeon. Up until then I was not able to get one shakes down to save my life! After trying the shake, I couldn't even get Water down past that. Come to find out 10 days after surgery I have become lactose intolerable. I am sure you can imagine how weak and sick I was from not getting ANY fluids in me for that time period. This isn't my problem though. I have been extremely witchy at home, unfortunatly my husband is getting the brunt of it. I am starting to feel much better now that I am getting the nutrients I need, but still not feeling just right. Is there anyone else that has experienced the horrible mood swings? I want to know if it is in fact what my body is going through or if it is just plain old me! Thanks for your time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blondie13654 0 Posted December 4, 2008 Wow, you became lactose intollerant AFTER the surgery?? How strange, I feel for you. I am just begining this, I have not even been to the seminer yet so I have a long way to go but I know that there is no worse feeling than being so sick and not being able to drink or eat for a while after a surgery! Hang in there!:cursing: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shamrockgirl60 1 Posted December 4, 2008 Well I became "whey" intolerant after the surgery, had to switch to soy based Protein drink. Never had a problem before the surgery, something just didn't mix with my band. Now when I get a fill I just have the Edge Advantage, chocolate soy Protein Drink. With a shot or two of Hershey's chocolate sugar free Syrup and some ice in a blender it's yummy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
