Before we know it we will be old pros at all this and on our road to a new and thinner life. Have any of you tried the isopure protien water, it has 42 grams of protien and does'nt taste too bad. Bernadette

After having lapband are there any foods that you can never have again? I was told sugar products but I thought that might be for bypass surgery patients.

I am having the Lap Band on the 25th. I can't wait!!! I wish you the best with yours, and keep me posted!!

Can anyone tell me what a gall bladder attack feels like. I was in awful pain for hours yesterday and am not sure what the cause. Sine today is a holiday i will probably not be able to get an appointment with my Dr. until maybe tomorrow. I have not been on the forum in some time, been relocating to FL and starting new business of my own so have not had much time to post. I am 2 years and 5 mos post RNY gastric surgery and have had no problems and have not lost anymore weight in about a year. Still have about 25 more I would like to loose but am down to size 12 from 30-32 so If I never loose another pound I will be fine with that. I do not drink caffiene or carbonated drinks in fact I still just drink water almost all of the time, an occasional small cup of milk or sugar free hot chocolate. I eat pretty sensible still, and still small meals. I do remember I had some mixed nutts yesterday and we had Olive Garden salad, soup and breadsticks for lunch and I ate two breadsticks and usually only eat one. About two hours later after I ate a WW ice cream the pain began, I had had a hint of it a couple of times last week but since it did not last long and went away when I would eat something I paid it not much attention. Yesterday the pain was so severe and radiated around to my back and eating made it subside but then 30 min later it would come back and then finally just stayed for a couple of hours and there was nothing I could do to get releif. Such awful pain!! In the stomach area under the left ribs and more in the middle but not low kinda of between the breast but a large area. Cramping pain not burning. I have been eating alot of that WW ice cream lately and wonder if the fat in them is causing me a problem. I do really like them and hate to have to give them up, they are the only treat I allow myself outside of sugar free hot chocolate now and then. I know people on this forum have had a gall bladder attack but have not read about one in ahwile and am not sure if this is what they describe or not. Help!
