This is great, so much info, I had surgery on 4/4 and I am already sick of a lot of the shakes! I'm gonna try some of these recipes! I have resorted to campbells soup - mixing cream of potato & cream of chicken & blending once a day for something different! Its good to know other people are feeling the same way - I know a few who have had gastric bypass but not anyone close who has had the lap band.

Hi everyone, I was banded on April 4th & feeling really weak. I went back to work Thursday, still having a lot of pain around the port incision but otherwise ok. It does seem hard to get all the vitamins, protein and water every day! Wondering if I'm just not getting the vitamins & protein I need or is it still getting over the surgery? I have lost 19 pounds so far!
