Hi Mo, I am still trying them out myself but I have found that I like the 50 ram slam from GNC. I get mine in in the Banana and Creme flavor. I did see that they have cookies and creme but I am scared to try that one. Necole

RELAX! Seriously, sit down somewhere quiet, let your breathing stabalize and relax. You may or may not get sick, time will tell. Worse case scenario is you might throw up, feel naseous, sweat, feel dizzy/light-headed. But seriously, try to keep yourself calm - anxiety makes it worse! Call your doctor's office if you start really freaking out. Good luck! Don't beat yourself up about it - we all make mistakes! Nicole

Hey Britt, There are still days where I don't feel like eating anything! I could never do the protein shakes either they tasted terrible! I told my doctor this and he said that was it was ok that it is actually better to get your protein from food anyways! I think the easiest things for me were cottage cheese, string cheese and yougurt! I would definately talk to your dr because there are medications he can prescribe for nausea so you won't feel sick to your stomach because it is important especially since you can't tolerate the protein shakes to be eating enough everyday! well good luck and keep me posted!

Late replys help too. I still have alot to learn about this lap band. I thought I had researched it so through that I new all the answers. Went to a support group meeting last night. I got so much out of it that I think I am on the right track now. I did lose the 6 puonds plus 3/4 more so the dr was not angery with me. So the next time I wont be as parnoid. I did not know it sometimes took several fills for it to really start to work. so thank you for your imput it all helps really Illinois girl
