Muscle pain/cramping is a common symptom of not getting enough protein. If you are not eating/drinking enough protein while you are actively losing weight, your body will attack your muscle.

I'm 4 months out from lap band replacement. I have those sharp pains too.

I am 4 weeks out and still have some of that going on as well. You may be overstretching or doing hard core abdominal exercises that are aggravating the portion of the abdomen the port was attached to. Depending on where the cramps are in your body could be an indication of dehydration or not enough nutrition. Feel free to send me a message if you would like to chat sometime.
