OK; opposite side of the coin here. I have the pink lemonade and can't live without them. In my opinion, Crystal Light leaves sort of an aftertaste, too. If I'm going to be drinking something (other than pop or coffee, which I can't have), I may as well get the Protein at the same time. After my first one, I didn't think that there was any noticable aftertaste to the K2O. Good luck.

I echo what everyone else has said; HOWEVER, if you are truly stuck in an eating rut, try the 5-day-pouch-test and use that as a jumpstart.

If you are having ANY unexplained chest pain, go to the E.R. Don't take the chance that it's something serious. <edited> Women have very different symptoms of heart attacks than the classic ones that men have - and that we always see on TV shows. Better safe than sorry.

Hi Jeane, When did you get banded? Today is only 6/27/09, and you said that you got banded 9/29/09. Mary

Ms. Yo, Before my surgery, I was given a photo of a person kneeling down and leaning on their forearms, so that their hind end was sticking up in the air. They told me that a lot of the time, the carbon dioxide gets trapped behind the shoulder just like gone 4 ever suggested. They said that by sticking your rear in the air, the gas moves that way to escape via "tooting".

Hi there, I had surgery June 25 by Dr. Peter O'Brien in Sioux Falls, SD. I started at 370 in January at my first consultation and was at 337 the morning of surgery. I'm hoping to get down to 170 eventually. Mary

Hi! I'm a newbie to the site and hope to spend a lot of time this evening checking it out. I'm scheduled for surgery 6/25 in Sioux Falls. I start my two-week liquid diet tomorrow. Wish me luck - and I hope to be able to lean on y'all for support :ihih: Mary
