i was banded on 4/17/07, and have been trying to get my protien in everyday. whenever i take anything with whey in it, i get sick.. and it hurts! i was really worried because i had only managed maybe 70-80 grams in the past week since my banding. does anyone else have this problem? whey wasnt working so i tried soy, and i havent had to much of an issue with it.. whats the difference between the two? o and im not lactose intolerant so thats not it, i actually mix my soy with milk to make my shakes now.. o and i never had a problem with whey before i got my band...:phanvan oiy.. im getting so tired of this.. any advice is appreciated sorry for the choppiness and dot dot dots all over this post, i cant think straight (lack of Protein?):girl_hug:

ill deffinitly try the carnation instant breakfast.. im surviving on spirutien right now...

i was banded a week ago... i got to the hospital at 630 am, went into surgery at 715am, and i woke up from my anestethia (spelled wrong, sorry!) at around 9-930. i made two trips the the radiology floor (shoulda been one, but it was two due to the incompetence of some "doctor" who didnt even no what he was looking for om my floroscope...*sign*) took a nap in recovery for 2 hours, and left at around 5pm. it was a one day deal, but o man.. i still feel it! yesterday and today are really the first time ive felt even remotly normal again. got up, walked around, drove a bit.. the first week will be rough, but after that every day you will feel better and better. ...just make sure you have someone to help you get up when you need to, your going to be sore. on a scale from one to ten, one being effotless, 10 being a major what the hell did i just do pain in my ass, id rate my surgery and post op week at a 7. coulda been worse, also coulda been alot better.. hope this helps, and dont be scared!!!! the first day is the worst, once you get through that, youve gone thru the worst part (pain wise) and remember, the doctors give you pain pills for a reason! no point in suffering when you can just sleep the pain away. thats what i did o, and good luck!

haha ok first thing that popped into my head? i love the motion of the ocean, just gotta slap my ass and ride the wave in!!!!!!! more cushion for the pushin baby!!!! lol god i need to stop posting here, my mother is totally a member of LBT too... this could lead to some akward-ness later on!

hey, in my opinion, its quality over quantity.. i unfourtly can never find both at the same time... big ones are nice, but there more like a semi 18-wheeler rollin down the highway at top speed. it gets the cargo where its needs to go with little fuss, AND there big and shiny and fun to look at. on the contrary, an average size compares to the sporty little corvette with limited packin' room but god damn it looks so pretty weavin in and outta traffic you cant wait to get a stick shift of your own!.. skills baby.. thats what you need or you might as well go park that corvette right back into the garage you pulled it out of.. (at least for me.. :-D) lol unless you get the semi made by BMW. then i just bow to your skills of male-hunting. god. holy crap i just put way to much thought into that... lol now i feel kinda dumb. >.<

heyy im new here and i just scanned everyones replys real quick, so sorry if i end up repeating someone.. i got banded on 4/17/07, and so far the BEST shakes ive found have been Muscle Milk (every flavor EXCEPT vanilla anything, chocolate covers the icky whey Protein taste way better) the chocolate mint one is really good, tastes like melted chocolate chip icecream! Promax is the other good one, tastes just like chocolate milk. those are really the only to brands i'll drink. im picky :-D .. o, and if your looking for clear protein, try New-Whey, it comes in fruit punch, grape and orange, in like these little test tube containers.. tastes like really strong kool aid. i usually Water them down, and there WAAYY better then Isopure. i agree. that stuff is gross. hope this helps!
