I was banded May 18th. Lost 10 lbs on pre-op diet plus 27 lbs post-op = 37 lbs total lost to date. I have never really felt much restriction as I can get anything down as long as I chew well. My first fill was mid July and I really didn't feel much of a difference. I havn't lost a pound in the last month! I just had my second fill last week...still not feeling much restriction. I have 5 cc so far in a 10 cc band. I think I will be asking my doc for another fill sooner this time if I continue to feel hungry between meals or am able to eat too large a portion. Btw, I've had a couple of stuck (or disgusting sliming) episodes but it was because I was not concentrating and ate too fast; never from overeating.

Of all the protein shakes I've tried so far I like Unjury. You can get it online at Unjury.com.

So far, out of all protein shakes I've tried Unjury tastes best. Egg salad and tuna salad made with low fat mayo is great for me...Tip: I add some nonfat greek yogurt to use less mayo to decrease fat and calories and increase protein!
