I had surgery 9/23!!!!

As of today I have already lost 5.5 lbs and very excited that I got banded... I am able to keep everything down with no problems. I notice when I get full I start to burp.. I am able to eat pudding and smoothies at Jamba Juice with protein added.. I know that I am not supposed to yet but I have having a hard time with the taste of the protein shakes that i can buy at the store.

I would like any advice you can give..

    Congrats on the weight loss!!!! I was banded on 9/21, so I can't really give any life changing advice. But, I can tell you that I have a hard time with protein shakes as well, I have found that no sugar added Carnation Instant Breakfast Shakes are good. They are high in protein and recommended by my surgeon. Again, congrats and keep up the good work. Blessings to you.
