I used GNC whey for several month, but I really like the powder brand sold at costco and it has 27 grams of Protein. Both the vanilla and chocolate are really good. One thing I do as a treat.. is I freeze coffee in ice cube trays and then bag them. I then use them with milk/vanilla powder...and sometime add a little sugar free Carmel (purchased at Sams Club..for a large bottle) and its delicious. Such a treat.. also put fruit and have also frozen vanila yogurt in cube and put in.. makes it more like a smoothie rich and creamy I always used a Protein Drink for my Breakfast...just worked better for me with my lifestyle I have only lost 65 lbs (had surgery Dec 2010) but lost my job in Nov 2011 and have had a really hard time staying on track .. have not regular routine.. and no fill sine Oct 2011... but good news is not gaining... so am happy about that

I too was banded on 12/2 Have not had any issues with food as yet, and am eating yogurt, Jello, cottage cheese, applesauce, mashed potatoes since I got home. My incisions have not bothered me alot, until today, so can't wait until the inner stitches dissolve. I plan on going back to work Monday, and may have them come get me, as we are expecting a snowstorm. (Indiana) My scales tell me I am down about 11 lbs and am so looking forward to the rest of this journey. Audrey
