Lap-Band Revision June 2012

I know they can be nasty. I am used to doing herbal life. I bought lean shakes from GMC so hopefully they will be good for my pre open diet.

julie, I am a huge fan of the Unjury brand Protein Powder as well. I use the chocolate splendor with a little ice (tastes like thick chocolate milk), or a scoop of the vanilla mixed with 1 c trop 50 orange juice and frozen strawberries and 1/2 c ice (though brandi's idea of milk and strawberries sounds yummy too!!). I use an immersion blender to mix it up really well, because one of the things i hated was the grittiness. If you go to unjury.com you can buy the sample pack- 2 envelopes each of chocolate splendor, vanilla, strawberry, unflavored and chicken broth (tastes like Lipton, imo). You do have to be careful about heating protein- if you go over 130 degrees it will clump- but not sure about the Protein in carnation instant Breakfast. I love carnation instant breakfast, but it doesn't have a lot of protein compared.....

If you live near a GNC, thy will let you taste. I like the total lean and lean muscle meal, not a fan of Unjury, but everyone is different. Good luck to you.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
