YOu are so helpful! thank you for the lead. I have been searching for a high protein gluten-free shake powder. My band is tight and I am drinking my protein currently. If I put double the scoops in the shake, that would double the protein,eh? There is a powdered peanut butter available also. I saw it on the internet.

Oh I am sooo glad to hear that. I, too, am the noise maker in this household..I was thequiet one! As any liquid goes down, you/I can hear it..but the hiccups were alarming.

you have to remember that the esophagus has a 'memory'. Just because you 'can' eat chips and salsa doesn't mean you should do that to the new esophagus that you wnt to be 'tight'. I had to learn that at a support group. lapbanded 01-16-09 and lost 35#. Be kind to the surgery and chew 100 times with small bites. I get caught when I eat with company in a restaurant. They are all eating fast and I constantly have to remind myself to eat small bites slowly and I cannot talk when eating(cuz I'm counting:0). hope this helps.
