I really love shakeology. i know its expensive but ive tried about eight or ten different kinds and shakeology so far has my vote hands down!

Have a pickle or two Low Calories, salty and crunchy

I dont know about you but i was advised not to swim for six weeks at least until my incisions are healed. I would honestly recommend for you to no swim as well if you have open incisions regardless of steri strips or whatever you have. Its still a direct open wound which can introduce bacteria and all sorts of things you dont need.

The pre op diet is literally the worst thing ive ever experienced. I had to do optifast 800 and that crap is awful. Im not proud of it but I gave in like twice...I still lost 14 lbs in ten days....Good luck to you! It was hard!

I am 24...a year out of college and banded on April 25th 2013... Good luck and message me if i can help you with anything.

I was banded about two and a half weeks ago. For the first week I was always under calories and I had zero appetite. about two weeks youll get it back...until then enjoy not being starving like you probably were on the pre op diet if you had one . Good luck to you! I feel great now!!!

I know surgeons do not suggest NSAIDS...however if used sparingly they wont cause harm. There is a concern for ulcers and bleeding however your not a great deal more risk now that you had lap band than before. i am an RN....take caution is my best advice

I feel terribly sick after the shakes to.....tried two different brands with the same result.

I am now six days post op. I have the pains in my shoulders still to. I also get nauseated after my protein shakes. I dont know what to do...I know I cant avoid them forever. Ive tried two different brands with the same luck. I feel great if i dont drink those shakes....

I lost 14 in ten days

I have been using soy milk for one...I am wondering if im putting to much protein in one shake....each scoop has 20 grams and i only need 60. I was just trying to compound it in one drink because ill admit shakes are not my favorite thing. I see my doc tomorrow so Ill talk then...I might try a shake tonight with just one scoop of powder....I am just not looking forward to it...This is the bset ive felt since surgery.

First of all I want to let you know that I had surgery last Thursday. Right after surgery I was put on a full liquid diet by my surgeon. I didn't have to do Clear liquids. I was asked to start my Protein supplements right away. I was having terrible nausea every morning since surgery and it would get remarkably better in the afternoon. I thought I was possibly taking in to much liquid at once so I broke up my Protein shake so I drank half in the morning and half in the evening and i was literally nauseated ALL DAY. Now today I had a meeting this morning and didn't want to be sick so I didn't drink it this morning and I feel like 100 percent better. I am going to try to make a shake with only one scoop of powder this afternoon and dilute the protein because maybe that's causing the issue however im struggling. I know i need the protein and I know that im sick after drinking it.......So far I have two brands GNC sells that has 20gm of protein per scoop. Anyone with this similar issue or any suggestions for me???

I used optifast 800 by medifast for my pre op diet...if all there products are like that all I can say is TERRIBLE.

Take responsibility for your own health. If you have a fever call your doc . They see a lot of patients and cant check up every single time. Mine did check up and I missed the call. I have been nauseated in the morning pretty bad. Nothing seems to help. Other than that I guess its been alright.

I would just do whats ordered. I am two days post op and let me tell you its very hard to get in calories and your body needs nutrients to heal. Im very tired and very nauseated and do not feel like eating at all....
