when i had my surgery on 7/22/09.my band was filled at that time with 3 cc's.i ended up at the dr's office that same night to get Fluid removed from my band because i was in so much pain and getting so sick to the point of dry heaving.ever since then i still have trouble with food.such as eating when i am suppose to and some things getting stuck and i am nauseous a lot.so when i went for my appt on 9/4/09 he filled my band with 2 cc's.now in the mornings i am having trouble eating anything.i just don't have an appetite.as the day goes on it gets a little better,but he wants me to eat every 3 hrs and i just can't do it.i also still can't tolerate the Protein shakes.any suggestions????:thumbup:

What is the problem with the Protein Shakes? Can't keep them down? Have you thinned them with Water. Mix1 is higher in sugar, but it's a thinner brand. Pure Protein is also a bit thinner. If it's been 3 days since your most recent fill and you still can't even take a thin liquid, i would talk to your doctor. Sounds like he/she is being more aggressive than most doctors. In my opinion too aggressive about fills but I'm not a doctor of course. Good luck!

      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...

        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.
