Anyone Getting Banded In July?

[Dawn12 11]

I am on 2 weeks of 2 Protein Shakes + one meal of lean protein/green veggies. I can also have a cup of fruit.< /p>

For whoever was asking about making the shakes better:

vanilla Protein

a few chunks of pineapple (I buy fresh and freeze)

a few pitted cherries (I buy fresh and freeze)

SF vanilla pudding (dietician suggested it)

Water

Ice

A teeny sprinkle of coconut

And you have yourself a virgin pina colada. It is really tasty.

I do something similar but with chocolate powder and pudding' date=' blueberries and cherries.

I will be able to get more creative once I am on liquids post surgery. I love adding a little Peanut Butter, bananas and cocoa powder. I also add a few handfuls of spinach. It blends in and you can't taste it. You just have do get past the hideous color it turns with the chocolate.[/quote']

Do you have any idea's for the strawberry shake? Lol

Hey Dawn...Where do you get the flavored Protein power?

I'm doing great how are you? I'm sore at the port site and I still have some gas pains. I try to walk around but i have to walk slowly because the gas pains kind of make me winded but short of breath. I'm not hungry at all so I try to get in my Protein and drink as much Water as I can to stay hydrated. I hope I never get hungry so I don't have to experience banster hell lol. What's your experience like so far?

I can't seem to get rid of all the gas. That's the only thing that's driving me crazy. I did really good most of the day, but whenever I drink something it seems to get worse. Ugh....ready for it to be gone. I am getting hungry! My hubby cooked a really good meal tonight and I soooo wanted some, but I wasn't about to risk it. I think I'm getting hungry because I'm not drinking enough protein. I just haven't been able to stomach them like I could. It seems to leave a yucky taste in my mouth all the time. Trying to keep hydrated, but it's hard.

What are you guys doing for your liquid diet for those whos surgery is coming up this week

Hi Cute45, I am on my day 4 out of 14 drinking shakes. So far I am doing great. Maybe a bit of headache but I think it is because I am only taking about 800 calories per day. Trying to keep my energy on. Drinking lots of Water.< /p>
