Thanks for the support !

Thanks ladies! I know I can do this but boy those cravings are brutal

Day two of my pre-op diet and although I am not hungry as I am allowed three shakes and up to 225 cals of low glycemic veggies , mentally I want food and I am carb detoxing only 12 more days....

I've had several surgeries and I always hate the feeling of being put out

I started mine today as well my surgery is also on the 19 good luck to you

Thanks, I really am! Getting nervous I hate being put under

I start my preop liquid diet tomorrow , I can't believe I am only two weeks from banding so scared and excited all at once , it should be an interesting day

I am going to smart shape in Canada if you go to the website they have a comparison chart with the three brands and the difference , I would post the link bit I can't figure out how sorry :-/

I normally don't respond to these posts but I am two weeks from banding and I look to the boards for support and information not having the bejesus scared out of me , surgery is frightening enough , we all know the risks and complications associated with this procedure .

Good luck to all who have surgery this week ! I start my pre-op diet July 5 banding is on the 19 starting to freak out a bit

My sister and sister in law who are not obese but they needed to lose weight both lost 40 pounds with out a lick of exercise so it can be done

A new book is a great idea ,best thing in the world

That's my weakness as well, ice cream , Ben and Jerrys "If I had a Million flavours " OMG I don't keep it in the house , I never use the excuse well I have kids they need it because no they don't just junk and extra calories !

Tastes for proteins vary so much , I liked the unjury and couldn't taste the whey very much, I NEVER like the vanillas , you just have to find one you like I guess

I am supposed to be on liquid 2 weeks after surgery so the dr has me on shakes , what on earth is that person supposed to eat that soon after

It's very normal to be very emotional after surgery if it doesn't pass in a couple of weeks I would see the dr or if you start feeling worse

Good luck!!!!!

Boost with added protein are pretty good

Best of luck and a speedy recovery

Did your Dr put fluid in the band during surgery?

you can just google Syntrax nectar there are just so many sites to choose from and I think you can get them on amazon as well, DO NOT put them in the blender all you will get is foam!, 1 pouch makes a water bottle full nd I find most are like crystal lite

500 seems low

They are very good , I have tried 6 flavours and I can usually taste the whey in everything but not these the strawberry one was odd but the rest were very good right from their site if you are in the states they have a flavor sample pack you can order

I like spark people, I can find everything

Good luck!
