I just bought some 100% Natural Unflavored Whey Protein. I ordered it from www.vitacost.com. I think it totaled about 16.00 bucks. I was told you can put it with anything and you can't taste it. It has 18 grams of protein per scoop. I hope it works.

Did I do it right?

I have been sick the past two days. I haven't had much to eat period. I have tried to eat high Protein foods but not any extra protein. I know I should have more but I can barely eat anything right now. I wasn't told how many calories to have in a day so I just try to eat things with little sugar which is very hard. I agree with you. Beth

I was told by my dr that the Protein that you use should have no more than 5 grams of sugar per serving. I was told to go to GNC or the Vitamin Shoppe. Also if you have a smoothie King around they have good Protein drinks. That is what I was told. I hope this helps. I still haven't found the frozen yoqurt around here yet. I like sf popcycles. Beth

Let me state that there is nothing wrong with Dr. Barnes at all. McCarty is just cuter.

Yes that was a slip. I meant to say fill me up. I am glad you caught that. I am on soft foods now and I learn from my doctor that I am not suppose to drink Water 30 minutes before I eat of drink for 30 minutes after I eat. That makes me feel full. I am not one that can eat much without water so I am feeling full sooner so maybe I will lose some weight this time. Does anyone know where to get sugar-free or fat-free frozen yogurt? I can't seem to find it and I love cold things. Thanks Beth

How long do I have to wait to get a fill? I was banded on July 12th and just started on soft foods. I don't feel full and I seem to be hungry more than I thought I would.

Anita is Dr. McCarty is as good looking in person as he is in his picture. I tried to get him but I got Barnes instead.

Anita, who was your doctor? I got banded at Baylor in Fort Worth. My doctor was Dr. Barnes. I hope you are doing well and losing weight. Beth

Hey Mr. Yo I was banded on the same day as you. I am having a hard time feeling full. I think it is because I am on liquids such as: SFpudding, SFjello, mash potatoes, Malto-meal, soup. Nothing really feels me up. How are you doing with your eating? Are you having any other problems? I think it is cool that we had ours on the same day. Beth

Hi I just had my surgery on the 12th. I would love to hear from anyone else from FOrt Worth who got banded or is going to get it. I went to Baylor Medical Center SOuthwest for my surgery. Doctor was Dr. Barnes. (A very busy man) I hope to find some bandbuddies. Beth

Hey I am new and had by surgery last week. Good luck Yellowrose. I am looking for buddies who are just starting out so keep us posted on your progress. I will try to help if I can. I am only 1 week ahead of you. I'm in Fort Worth. Beth

I am new too. I had my surgery on the 12th. It seems like a long time ago. I had some pain but now it is mostly in my back and port site. I do feel hungry sometimes but I hope that is from just eating liquids. I think I am eating too much but I hope I won't when I can eat soft foods. I am from Fort Worth, Texas. My doctor's name was Dr. Barnes. I hope to get to know more of you guys and maybe become buddies. Beth

My name is Beth and I had my lap-band surgery last week. I just discovered this site today and I am so excited. I love support groups. I am experiencing pain still at my port site and in my back. I have already experieced bad pain in my stoma and I hate the protein drinks. I also don't feel very full yet and am hungry all the time. I am told that it does get better when I can eat soft foods. I am on liquids right now. I hope that someone out there that would like to be my buddie. I don't know how this forum works but I am sure that I can figure it out. Beth
