Hi I had my band removed and was sleeved on December 20th, I wanted to see how people with a week are doing. I am still having alot of incisional pain especially at night. My surgeon says I should not being needing any pain meds at this time but I still do.

I ate for the first time a greek yougurt and it went down real well. But an hour later I was soo bloated and had alot of gas. Has anyone had this problem.

Also I wanted to ask people what protein drinks they are using? I think I am going to GNC today to get something.Any feed back is appreciated

Thanks Pointbeach

I'm 10 days out. I still have incision pain in the belly button, but otherwise I feel much better. My doc has us on liquids only for 2 weeks. I ordered the unjury and syntrax nectar protein drinks. You can get them through Amazon. There are others, of course. My NUT says to keep them under 150 cal with at least 15 gm protein and under 5 carbs. Or something like that. You want as few carbs as possible.

Hope you feel better.
