I was just banded last week on the 14th. I kept thinking, maybe I could still lose the weight without this great tool. I just had to look back over the last 13 years to realize I couldn't and this was going to be a great thing. I am still getting used to some of the aches and pains, but I had surgery on a Friday and was back at work on Tuesday. Stay strong and remember the reasons why it will be so worth it! Do I love it - not yet. Will it be the best investment in my health and wellness - you bet!

Good Luck

It's getting close and I'm getting cold feet. Having doubts. I've wanted this for 5 years and now its here. Kind of scary! Tell me how much you love your band so I know it will be worth it!

I was just banded on the 14th and I had back pain, but not in my shoulders. My relief - a heating pad, that thing worked wonders.

I'm 10 days out and still having shoulder pains, too. I'm down a total of 24.8 lbs since the pre-diet 1/5 and my surgery 1/10. Sometimes it's worse than others...as weird as it might seem...a lot of times...(not every time, though) when the pain comes...if I get up and start walking it will ease up. I try to keep my shoulders back and straight...for some reason that seems to take the pressure off of the nerve or whatever is giving me problems.

Keep up the good work. I'm right there with ya'. : )

HI, I drink the one from costco. They have 30 grams of Protein and 5 carbs. They do only have chocolate and vanilla but they are great. They are the costco brand. I think they are tasty.

Ok Guys,

What brand of Protein shakes is everyone using and what are you puting in it?

I can't see me drinking the ones I have tried long term. Please help!
