I bought the variety pack of Carnation Instant Breakfast - No Sugar Added. It had chocolate, chocolate malt, french vanilla and strawberry. All were good. You can order a case on-line and have it home delivered.

Hi Bonnie - I had my surgery on 4/19 - 5 days ago. Everything is going well. I have to admit that the liquid diet is getting tough, but I can hang in there. My nutrition appt. is on 4/30, so hopefully I can graduate to the soft foods soon. The whole experience at Umass has been great though. When were you banded?

I was banded by Dr. Czerniach as well. Everyone went great, but I think any of the Umass doctors would have been great. Umass is considered a Center of Excellence for Bariatric Surgery. I think you'll have a great experience.

Hi Everyone, My name is Allison and I was banded on thursday. Everything went very well! I'm 3 days post-op and feeling great. Doing well with the Clear liquids and Carnation Instant Breakfast. The hardest part has been trying to keep my 2 year old son from climbing on me. He's starting to understand. I showed him my incisions to show that Mommy has "boo-boo's". Other than that, it was a positive experience. My surgery was done in Worcester, Mass by Dr. Czerniach. I'm looking forward to dropping this weight, and I think the band was a much better option for me than the bypass. Good luck to all of you!
