This is off topic but what protein shot do you use?

I was curious to know if anyone signed up for this site. I was given a packet after surgery. I went to this site to get my patient id card and it has different trackers on there. If you use this site please let me know because I'd like to get some cheers from support team members on there.

The PRE-OP was hard but I suceeded and I did well the first week after surgery. Exactly one week post surgery I had a breakdown and had to eat a fried chicken wing......then I had a special dark candy bar to calm my menustration. (I ate a little piece of it every night in secret so my family wouldn't know). i also ate some girl scout cookies here and there in my second week totaling about six in all. I was doing good with my sugarfree jello and popsiscles and pudding until last friday. I went to the grocery store and messed around and got the regular pudding and the sugarfree tampioco. I get full really quickly but usually get back hungry within three hours of eating. I have stomache pains at night that bully me. Now that I have begun solids, I find myself making soups instead. I am a bad example but hope my first fill will restrict me more. I have been excerciseing on a regular and I am still losing, so overall I don;t consider myself a loser....oops i forgot to mention, I had a half cup of blue bell tin roof icecream Tuesday night. Confession is good for the soul but I will not admit any of this to my surgeon. Maybe my nurse.

I am assuming it goes to the site because I have a "cheer" icon and it says I don't have any cheers, yet. But to add support, you have to enter people's name and email.

Smoothie King gladiator is my shake of choice. My surgeon recommended it. But make sure you get the gladiator (some of the others ones are like someone else said...milkshake in disguise). you don't have to get it "skinny" cause it is totally healthy. It has 45 grams of protein too! I buy them some mornings and I also buy the big powder tub from them. I like the strawberry more than vanilla and chocolate. when I make it, I add frozen (unsweet) strawberries or blueberries. I never use milk cause my surgeon is against it. If I'm feeling "naughty" I add a tablespoon of peanutbutter to it. yummy!!! I lost 21 pounds on my preop using this shake.

I felt the same way you do now. I even cancelled bypass twice over the last five years. I was banded on the 25th of February 2010, and I just keep thinking...I should have done this sooner. I have no regrets. Let her heart be your guide.

My port is inthe same place, but it doesn't bother me. I wonder if it depends on the type of band. I have an Allergan standard band, what about you?

For some reason I thought you had already had your surgery. Five pounds since the 1st is great!!! Keep up the good work.

I walk my neighborhood and get onWII Fit. I was able to do the wii as soon as the day following my surgery. congrats and good luck.

Learned my lesson by reading yours.

i thought it was only me. the scaled hadn't moved, the gas somewhat stopped but my stomache looks bloated. I hope it goes down soon, too. Other than that, I'm good. I am sticking to my post op diet with No hunger but I am having food withdrawals on occasion.

i have a wii, gotta try it.

:smile2: GO BD!!!
