I was just banded last week and there were a couple things that got me thru the first few days. The doctor recommended that I stay away from the protein shakes, so I drank Kellogg K2o drinks and anything sugar free, popcicles, jello and diet Snapple. The liquid Tylenol saved the day because it was tough moving around without it. I just got back from the Dr. and I've lost 10 pounds already. So that's what worked for me. Good Luck!! You can so do this.

Hi Everyone! I'm new to the exclusive club of September Banders. I had my done on my 40th birthday 9/9/08. What a gift!! I went to the doc today and already lost 10 pounds. I started at 314 and have a ways to go, but that first 10 felt really motivating!!

I just got home from an office visit and the Dr. told me to stop with the protein drinks. He also told me that I get enough nutrition with my vitamins, that don't add extra calories.

I was banded on Sept 9, how are you coming along with the post op diet? I'm doing okay, but really uninspired about the food choices available now.

Just banded on the 9th, my 40th b-day. So far feeling good, but i have lots of questions about the diet podt-op.
