    Protein Powders

    I liked Carb Solutions too, but it just depends on what you like....the ready made drinks in a can are about 110 cals and 20 grams of protein and the powder is about the same if you make it with water. I also like their bars once you are back on normal food.

    Hard Time With Pre Op Diet

    Dori, Ohmigosh....ya gotta clean out that pantry....I did yesterday and thank goodness or I would've been chowing down after I got home from work today. Also, they said I could have sugar free Jello to (maybe) help with the sweet tooth. I am finding that some of my "hunger" is just a habit, like this evening I was home alone and if that junk food had still been in the pantry I would've chowed down out of boredom....HANG IN THERE, we can do it!!!

    Hard Time With Pre Op Diet

    Dori, Jeez, have I felt hungry, that is a big 10-4.....but I am trying to fight it. The doctor also said I could supplement my hunger if it got really bad with very lean, sliced turkey and/or string cheese, because they both have alot of protein....and I can't wait to go home and snack on some! The shakes I am using are Slim Fast, but it must be the Low Carb kind, they have the lowest amount of sugar and the highest amount of Protein (19-20 grams, I think). I also like the Carb Solutions shakes, they have even fewer calories than Slim Fast and 21 grams of protein. Hang in there and keep in touch, I need all the Band buddies I can get!!!

    Were you 'sick' going in?

    I'm curious too, my BMI 38.8, I have sleep apnea, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, borderline diabetes. I have been told that there is no statistical evidence that banding helps fibromyalgia, but I would imagine that weight loss would at minimum help with the symptoms of fibromyalgia like aches, pains, fatigue, just because I am carrying around less weight.....

    Hard Time With Pre Op Diet

    I am on my pre op diet, I started Fri, 01/19 and I am scheduled to be banded Fri, 02/02....the weekend was a lil tricky and I have to admit I didn't stick to it as strictly as I should have but today since I am back at work I haven't had a problem....I work M-F and have weekends off....what is your pre op diet, I am to have one "normal/low fat" meal a day and protein shakes for the other two meals and snacks, but I know all doctors are different. Good Luck!
