Hi Possible Buddy! My name is Heather. I'm getting the band next week - 1/29. I am so excited :biggrin: and a little nervous and overwhelmed :thumbup: I'm hoping to find someone who can tell me what to expect and keep me sane when I'm asking - what the heck did I get myself into!

Hi everyone! I'm getting the band next week and have been trying Protein shakes to get used to them. Has anyone ever been allergic to the powder? I had a funny skin reaction over the weekend and it lasted a few days. I narrowed it down to a few things but one of the things new was the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein Powder. I didn't have one yesterday or today and my skin is getting better but I'm afraid to try it again to see if it was the protein! LOL :biggrin: Any suggestions?

Hi everyone! My name is Heather and I'm getting the LapBand a week from today! :biggrin: I have to start the liquid diet and I'm a little nervous. I don't mind the Protein shakes though. I started experimenting last week with fruit and milk. I made Jello with Protein powder tonight. I have to see how it turns out! Any advice?
