This thread was really helpful to me. I haven't been banded yet, but am awaiting my surgery date! I have been trying to plan how much time I need to take off work, and it sounds like I'm just going to have to listen to my body! Thanks for the posts.

Hi All! I just got my insurance approval on Friday and haven't yet been scheduled for surgery, but I am guessing it will be sometime in september. For the nutritional protein question: my nutritionist recommended UNJURY. You can google it and come up with the website, but she gave me some samples to try and it actually wasn't so bad. It even comes in an unflavored version so I can easily add it to my crystal lite water. It has very few calories and 20 gms of protein per packet. I am crazy excited and hope to have a surgery date soon!
