  1. Ohh, that sounds delicious! I might have to give that a shot once I am past the recovery stages, thanks! =)
  2. Thanks everyone =) I will look into the Unjury products shortly, for now my grandparents went and bought me a giant case of off brand shakes - hopefully they taste okay since I would feel awful telling them that the 48 pack they bought is gross, haha...As for the pills, I thankfully have been able to tolerate pills from day one, so I don't have to deal with chewable pills - those have always been pretty nasty to me. I have the centrum for now, and also a couple of others that I have been on before surgery (Biotin and Riboflavin) for other reasons - but I guess that there are no other special vitamins you all have had to go on since the surgery? =)
  3. Hey Everyone, My name is Bekki and I just had my surgery this past wednesday. I am looking for as much support as possible, as I am very detirmed to make this work - but I can't do it alone! I am looking for someone around my age who has had the surgery and has been successful with it, so that I have someone to give me hope when I feel stuck in the dark...I am 20 years old, so anyone in that age group or even older would be fantastic...If you are near me in South Jersey that would be great, but even an online or telephone support would be wonderful. Looking foreward to hearing from you =)
  4. Hi Everyone, My name is Bekki and I was just banded this Wednesday, making today my second full day out of the hospital and in recovery. I am looking for as many support groups as possible and this website was recommended to me by the nurse in my hospital, who also had the Lap Band surgery. I do have a couple of questions that maybe people can help answer for me... What type of Vitamins have you started to take once you have had the surgery, and also, what types of Protein do you all reccomend? I am obviously still on the clear liquid portion of recovery, and I need to stick to liquid supplements - any suggestons for now, or later on in recovery when I can start using powdered protein? The one they provided in the hospital was absolutly terrible, and I need something else to try. Thanks everyone! =)
