Carbonated drinks? Are they really that bad?
If it is the flavor... Shake them up, and let them go flat before drinking.

Ketosis
That is very high in carbs, so you are unlikely to enter ketosis. Look for shakes that have far less carbs, and more Protein.

Friends and Enemies
Take it in good faith that they were nice. If they don't know about the band, they cannot be sensitive to it. They buy those treats so that they can have them anyway! LOL. I acknowledge your frustrations, but do not take it in a personal sabotage way!

FF half and half?
The non fat free has less carbs. I don't use FF because they add other stuff to it. On Atkins diet, you always use full milk and full half and half or cream for reduced carbs.

Post Sugery, have a few questions
The appetite will return, and then you will be forced to use your will/want power to sustain you until you get a fill. Pretty normal now for post surgery. It should start to return before long. Just stick with the plan you were given on eating portions.

I need some guidance....
Sounds iffy to me. I am not sure the band will allow you to eat enough to compensate for the extra calories burned, but I have NO experience, just an opinion.
