Well, I just got off of the phone with Janet and my surgery has been moved up from July 21st, until July 9th. OMG, that's not that far away.

I am sooooooo excited. Please keep me in your prayers and I tried to copy that list of everything I will need. Only question, which is the best Protein drink?

Thank you all for your support!:clap2:

Big thumbs up. It will be here before you turn around.

I like Body Fortress Vanilla Flavor - I buy it in Wal-Mart but I can't remember the price, it's very reasonable I know that. I don't like it by itself, but it tastes REALLY good if you mix 2 scoops (40g protein) into a cup and a half of ff milk along with 3 tablespoons of sf ff chocolate pudding and 1 tablespoon of reduced fat peanut butter. It tastes like you're drinking a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup! Mmmmmmmmmmm. While I was on my liquid diet I alternated between that and Isopure because the the yummy protein mix is a little high in calories.

The blue carb free Isopure tastes the best of the lot IMO, but none of them are that good. Do be careful about which of the red ones you choose and a couple of them are not carb free.

Congrats on your surgery date and good luck with the liquid diet.

Myra, I remember how I felt when my doctors office called me with my date. It's a wonderful and exciting feeling. I am going on seven weeks out and loving every day of my band. Just got my first fill yesterday. Hope you have as good of luck as I did. Let us know if you have any questions that we may be able to help you with. This board was wonderful for me and still is.

Myra,

Good for you!!! You are right behind me now. I appreciate the information about the shakes. I have survived for 2 days on the chocolate Adkins shake. 12 days til surgery..............

Hey folks it's Sherri that has the new date. Not Myra.

If you haven't seen this thread about what to have on-hand for the recovery time, check it out: ttp://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=14814

Also, there's a thread around here somewhere that has suggestions for what to take to Mx with you. I'll see if I can find it for ya.

I found the best protein drink to be unjury unflavored, mixed with low fat milk and add whatever flavor you like. Congratulations on your new date. It will be here before you know it.
