My only hang up with Special K Protein Water is that it has "partially hydrogenated oils" (ie transfat) in it??? In fact, many of their products do.... which is really frustrating coming from a company that claims to be for the health conscious. I have not been banded yet, but I am supposed to start my pre-op diet tomorrow and will eventually be in the same place as you! BUT rather than ingest partially hydrogenated oils I plan to look into some other alternatives listed on this site previously: Profect protein & beneprotein If you search around there are others as well!

Hello Everyone~ I am scheduled for surgery in TJ with DR Ortiz on 8/15/07!

Hi Tulips- I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes I find myself "talking myself" INTO the surgery???? But then things happen that remind me I am doing the right thing: 1) a girlfriend of mine who was always "tiny" just had her first child and is struggling with a lot of weight; what will happen to me, I haven't even had children yet and I am struggling. 2). I have been going to the gym 2-3 times a week for a month now cutting back and the scale hasn't moved.!!! I feel better, then I put on clothes and I look the same. There was a time when I could do these simple things and I could take some weight off for a few months, maybe a year. BUT the time has come, the more I wait to do this the longer I am delaying the inevitable! I am scheduled for banding 8/15/07 with Dr. Ortiz Good Luck!
