BandedStacy

Ok I had to share this Protein shake I created. It is marvelous! Ingredients: 1cup skim milk (or whatever milk you use) Gold Standard 100%whey vanilla ice cream flavor (omg is wonderful) 1 scoop 1TBLS sugar free French vanilla Torani Syrup (I bought mine at amazon.com) 1-2TBLS sugar free black cherry Torani syrup Ice Put all in the blender in the order written and blend away. IT WAS SCRUMPTOUS!! You will love your protein shakes after trying this.

I have lots of different music and I've kinda broke my play list up into days of the week so I'm not always listening to the same thing every day. P!nk and Adel are top on my list right now my two power songs are Black Eyed Peas, I Gotta Feeling and Kelly Clarkson what doesn't kill you (stronger).

I was also banded on the 13th so far I can get about 4oz of the protein shakes in if I go slow and take hour I can get the whole 8oz in. Not doing much other the water which I've been doing fairly well at getting my daily amount of that. Today I still have pain in my left shoulder. Have cut myself back to only take pain meds at night. Over all doing ok.

Yes, for me the most pain had been in my left shoulder I have been sitting with my heat pad on it and had to sleep with it on also. I also found that I slept better when I propped myself up in bed. Can I just add that I have ordered a sample packet of shakes from jayrobb.com and although they are a little expensive they rock!! anyone reading this should at least try the sample pack.

Ok I've sent friend request to who I think you are lol we shall see

I just had my surgery today march 13th and yes I'm having the sharp pains in chest making it hard to take a deep breath. I've not figured out yet how to fix it.

Yes, I'm on shakes, broth, Popsicles,jello & Gatorade. I've only had one shake today lots of Gatorade and a few Popsicles. I've kinda had to force all that into me. I've now taken the gas-x and hope that helps me. Oh and I'm pushing the water as much as I can. It is really great to follow another that was banded on the same day. I've also started posting vlogs on YouTube under the banded Stacy if your interested. I'm new to all of this was and everything else. I just tried to learn as much as I could from different resources before the surgery.

Jackieu, I was also banded this morning. Most of my pain is from the gas pain in shoulder guessing should takemy gas x :o/ Doctor told me I had a hernia that he repaired while he was in there. I was bit surprised about that causeivenever had any issues with heartburn or reflux oh we'll glad it's fix. Where did you have surgery? Mine was done in KS city New Hope Bariatric. Would be great to follow your progress since we were banded on the same day. If you have Facebook you can find me on there as banded Stacy. Good luck to you looking forward to hearing more about your journey.

I get to have a lean protien & veggies or a weight watchers meal for supper. With protein shakes for breakfast and lunch along with a piece of fruit with the shakes. Not been bad at all here.

I went to my pre-op appointment yesterday and I am even more excited to get this going. I rememeber walking out the door of the Doctors office thinking to myself this is really going to happen. A week from today I will be banded. To all of you that are getting it done today the best of luck to you on your journey.... Just a side note if any of you haven't yet check out on youtube there is lots of vlogs of different people's WLS journey. I have found lots of great information on there.

I also have done so well the past 4 days sticking to the diet. My diet at least I get to have a sensible dinner. But today I had an oops. I ate a piece of corn bread. May sound pretty small but still I wasn't suppose to eat it. I am also having the guilts from doing this. All I can say is we just have to move on and be better from now on. Good luck to you.

I start my pre-op liquid diet tomorrow...I get a shake for breakfast and lunch, I can have two pieces of fruit, and a ww meal for dinner. Oh and I can have all the broth, sf jell-o and sf popsicles I want. It's going to be rough but I am more then ready to get this started.
