Hi dmg I was just in middy yesterday... Grew up in monticello...small world...nice to know that their is someone in the area that has gone or is going through this most people I chat with are from the other side of the state...

Seriously I tried the one that "Meglvn" suggested and its delicious... It's GNC's Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60. I want to keep on drinking it and I look forward to it. Like you, Protein shakes have never appealed too me in fact, I' ve never had a Protein shake till this one and I love. Try it...

Hi all, I have been banded and I am officially on the other side. I feel some pain but its manageable good luck too all those that are still getting banded soon!

Hi if anyone in the area would like to meet and support each other....im in

Hi...just banded by Dr. Artuso yesterday....it went fine I live in New Paltz... I was about too say if you want to meet @ starbucks and javelin coffee sometime...but cannot drink coffee for a while, lol...

Omgoodness...me too...I just want to be okay. To matters worse I just got a head ...cant stop sneezing and coughing, sore throat and suffy nose...all today. Dr. told me to drink a lot of water...now I cant stop pee'ing, lol...so nervous!

Hi Justine! I hope you are doing well...congratulations! I am going to be banded tomorrow I am very nervous...but...happy. I am going to start a blog today...gotta sign up. Well...keep me posted and let me know how things are going Im from NY but well can still be blog band buddies...

Hi Meglvn, I went out and bought the one you recommended and I start tomorrow...I wanted to ask you how you do yours...the bottle says 3 scoops and 12 ounces of milk...so for 1 scoop do you only use 4 ounces of liquid? Or do you add more liquid? Not sure...thanks

Oh...that sounds a little better...

I wondered why people had shoulder pain...that sucks! Months... I guess it's good to know ahead of time. Thanks for the heat tip.

You're funny... I do love your plan. I need to get the Water bottle w ounces...baby spoons and the strainer...great ideas!

Thank you healthywoman : ) We will all keep each other posted...Blessings.

I was really expecting to be on a protein diet for at least a week or two....when I asked my doctor he told me it was not necessary? I asked around this forum and a lot of people are not required to diet. Go figure... I bought a chocolate and vanilla shake that was suggested here for afterwards...hoping my doctor doesn't a yucky tasting one Also, I was just given my surgery date on Friday the 12th for Tuesday surgery... Good luck and let's keep each other posted... And help one another through this life changing journey.

Woo hoo! Another August 16th bandster Let's keep each other posted....good luck and I will be thinking of you too. Many blessings

Wow...60 g of protein and its tastes good... I think I will try it. Thanks for sharing
