  1. I was banded in Feb 2006 and LOVE the new life that shedding 80lbs has brought for me. However, I am sometimes still frustrated with the challanges we face with making sure we get enough nutrients for our body, hair, skin...etc.. I get tired of chewing my Vitamins and picking up pieces of my hair off the bathroom floor when I rebel and don't take my vitamins. A year ago, I joined my husband in his business which involves selling Noni juice. I love the product and within the company, they have other product lines that have spun off that use Noni as the underlying basis. I often drink my Breakfast (slimfast shake, Atkins or some other Protein based shake) but I usually by them in the can because I was told by my dr that we were not to have powder. After reading several excerpts here in the forum, it looks like several people are drinking powder forms of protein. So, is it ok to mix drinks up or not? Or, are they referring to massive quantities of powder ingestion? I suppose I should ask my dr's office to clarify, right? Sorry, I'm so long...this is my first time writing the forum... BC banded in Houston, Tx.
