I too will be banded in November, I will not find out until 10/26 if it will be 11/7 or 8 or 11/14 or 15.....I have started my pre-op but someone please tell me why do protein shakes taste so bad??? I am not a chocolate person but love sugar free carnation instant breakfast in chocolate...I have tried Ensure, EAS, Muscle Milk, HMR Shake.....HELP!!!! Someone told me to buy protein powder and put it with the food I make..has anyone tried this?? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Good Luck!!! You have come along way and tomorrow will be your new beginning!!! I still have a month to go to be banded, so looking forward to reading all of your updates!!!!

I started on my 1200 calorie diet 2 weeks ago. I was a big Coke and Sweet Tea drinker and I can say after 2 weeks I have no desire for either one of them. This past weekend we went to the Fair and I broke down and bought a small coke, I threw it away, it was so sweet that I thought I was going to be sick. I have found unsweet tea with splenda takes care of the sweet tea urge. Counting down the days until the 18th of October!!

So happy for you, I received my approval today, only took 2 days!!! I meet with the surgeon on Friday and surgery will be on the 18th of Oct!!! I can't wait

Thanks everyone for all of this good info. I am trying to find a good protein shake as well and Ensure was not the best 1st choice!!!
