tband

I was banded last Thursday the 21st, I am sore but walking around as much as possible, clear liquids only. I weighed this morning .. a 4 lb loss, I know it's only water but I will take what ever I can get. Been a professional dieter since age 15, lost and regained weight many times over. If dieting worked and eating a balanced diet on maintainence worked I would have been successfull at weight loss many years ago. Became so tired of weight holding me back in so many areas of life. I fianallly made the decision to get the lapband. I am a little afraid of it.... drinking to fast, to much, or later getting something stuck in it. I hope the fear of ruining it will keep me on track...respecting my body and making it work for me has to be priority now. I'm sure I will become more comfortable with it later on. I don't have any regrets about having the surgery done. :confused:

CostCo has " Premier" brand shakes 30 g protein, 1 g sugar, cal 160, 11oz. I have only found them in chocolate, they also have the powder mix and bars. The cost was $37.00 for 18 shakes. I chose for the high protein.. the most I have found in a shake. :confused:

I buy the "Greek Gods" brand at Smiths food store and Whole Foods, same price at either store $3.99 for the large tub. The honey flavor is great with fruit, satisfies a sweet craving. They also make low fat. :confused:
