Thank you for explaining "bandster hell." As I was scrolling through this sight my eyes lit up when I read your response to another post. I am 2 days shy of 2 weeks post-op. I've done great. I've followed all the rules....and I'm hungry and so tired of Protein shakes and yougart. I thought immediately after surgery I'd be restricted to just a few ounces of liquid at a time and was pleasantly surprised to find I could drink an 11 ounce shake (slowly) at one sitting. I was concerned. I thought....I don't feel restricted and I'm following the rules...and I'm hungry. I didn't realize there is no restriction until the first fill. (duh) Yes. I did my homework. I read several books, hundreds of blog postings, and watched youtube posts, but somehow I missed that tidbit. I'm looking forward to my followup with the nuturitionist on Tues. (2-week post opdate) and can't WAIT to eat something, anything. If this is the worst part, I'm totally down with the plan. I can(and will) do this! I am now giving a huge sigh of relief. Thank you!

Waiting on approval from the insurance company. I'm on pins and needles! I. Can't. WAIT! I'm trying to get my kitchen/work/life organized prior to the (hopeful) surgery. In your opinion, banders, which type of Protein drink/powder was best? Which ready-made tasts best. I teach school and will not have access to a blender, but I do have a little mini refridgerator. Any suggestions? Thanks! (oh, and keep your fingers crossed!) TnLamb
