Hi there,

Slim Fast does not have very much Protein in it to keep you full. I drink the Premier Nutrition shakes from Sams club. They have 30grams of Protein and 160 calories.

Just a thought

Good Luck ---Michelle

thank you all for your responses. It reallys helps because I learn through all of you. I had my post op yesterday but did not get a fill. Instead he scheduled my first fill on dec. 3rd which is exactly 1 month post op. The problem is I got so hungry yesterday cooking for my family that I actually chewed some steak, sucked the juice and gave the chewed meat to the dogs! When I saw that didn't cause me pain or discomfort I chewed on a little bit of rice and swallowed. I did this one time & then felt real guilty and got very mad at myself for doing it. I actually gained 1 lb back!! have no will power. How bad was what I did?? I'm eating lots of sugar-free popsicles & fudgsicles cuz I'm so tired of the Jello, pudding & juice thing & the slim fast is NOT satisfying at all. What else can I do??? PLEASE HELP I can't fail

Hey guys,

I was banded on the 4th. I feel great! No more gas thank goodness. My port site is very tender other incisions are fine.

How often are you guys changing your bandages? I've been doing it everyday when I get out of the shower. Is that normal??

Also I have had my tummy grumble like its hungary, but I take a couple sips of Water and I am good.. Feels funny though.

I'm not allowed Protein shakes til next week. Only Water, broth and Jello and juice for me.

Good morning everyone!!

Today is THE day!! I am soo nervous!! Thank you all for the encouragement and help along the way!

Tell ya'll all about it soon

PS, can someone (pleeeeeze) tell me why my "Ticker" remains a jumbled mess of HTML Codes?

Try one of the other codes they give you...you can preview your signature before you finish it to make sure it shows up correctly.

Congrats newlyfe,

How are you feeling? I get banded on October 4th! I am sooo excited!

Good luck!

I am glad to be a Loser.

Better to lose then gain.

So, I'll take it

I have a post on the post op site about spreading the good news.

I have lost 110 lbs. since my last weigh in. about a weak ago.

I even have photos in my album.

I would have never done that before ! But now... I will start posting

smaller sizes as they come along.

So I'm very proud to be a Loser.

AWESOME JOB!!!

I can't wait to join also...

I have only told my husband,mom,brother and two co-workers. Everyone else just thinks I am going on vacation for the week. My kids don't know either~I have not made up my mind if I should tell them or not, they are 9 &5 both girls. I don't want them learning to be self concious(sp)of weight

I am from Sandy Springs, Ga.

Today is day three of my preop diet and I actually feel pretty good. Let me tell ya'll that I hate Water..I had an IV drip of coke. I have not had the first headache this time after quitting the coke. I am very surprised!! Wondering if it is the amount of Water I am forcing myself to drink? If you haven't already sign up for myfitnesspal.com. You can enter your foods and shakes to calculate how many calories you are having! Its pretty cool. They also have a app for your phone. I think the biggest help I have had is the Protein shakes I got. They have 30g of Protein in one. They are Premier Nutrition chocolate and taste like a yoohoo so it helps with my sweet tooth also.

Best of luck everyone in the new fam

Hi,

I have been drinking the Premier Nutrition shakes from Sams Club. I love them they taste like a yoo-hoo. They have 30g of Protein in each shake. I would give them a try.

Good luck!!

Hey m1aman,

What are you doing for the Clear liquids?

Best of luck to EVERYONE!!

I am doing a shake for breakfast and lunch and a light dinner. I am going to costco to get premier shakes tonight. Does Sams club have vanilla? If so i am getting a membership there as well.

Hey Amy, The Sams club by me only had the chocolate-but I was very surprised at how good they taste. I think it's taste like a yoo-hoo. I think I paid $17 for a 12 pack.

Thanks guys for your help!!! I'm not sure I can do the Decaf just yet as I need a little caffeine to curb the withdrawls. ALL I drank was Coke before today!!

Just wanted to wish all October bandsters luck. I know many of us will be starting our pre-op diet today. My surgery is the 6th and I start my diet thursday. We have all worked hard to get here and our journey has started. I know we will all do great.

I agree!! My surgery is the 6th..started preop today! Feel pretty good so far(I know it is still early;)) I got the Premier nutrition shakes from Sams club, I think they are great! What kind are you having?

Best of luck!!!

Hi everyone, I am scheduled for surgery Oct 4th. I started pre-op today with 1 shake for b'fast, 1 for lunch and just a lite dinner. Then next monday is the full liquid diet. Anyways back to my question...is it ok to drink coffee in the morning(I like it sweet) as long as I drink my Water the rest of the day?

Thanks ya'll!!

Michelle

I start my liquid pre op on the 24th. I only have 10 days thank goodness! Good luck ya'll!!

Congratulations!! I am scheduled on October 4th..I can't wait!

Maybe this is a stupid question but am I supposed to drink chicken broth from a can like Swanson or is it the diluted bullion(sp) cubes?

I am going to Mexico in October and not really sure of the best things to take with.... I have heard gas-X, Protein Shakes, but I want to know what you wish you would have had along with you... Thanks
