Hello fellow banders! I was banded on June 7, 2011 and am on day 4 of my new life. My surgeon has me on liquids only for the first 3 weeks and I am trying very hard to *love the protein*. I am drinking 2 oz of nectar every hour and have decided to mix it up a bit with light Muscle Milk. Not doing to bad considering that when I weighed in at the hospital on Tuesday I was 220 and now I am 211.8. Yay! I am happy there is a place for banders to go to get support and tips--that makes the journey a bit easier for me. Please feel free to contact me and share your words of wisdom, frustrations, highs, lows and successes.

Cheers!
