Hi Everyone!

I was just banded on 8/24/07, so it's very new to me. I'm still on liquids and I'm going a little crazy. I did break down and have ice cream one day, but other than that episode, it's been all liquids. Here's my issue, I can only bring myself to have 2 protein shakes a day. (I Hate the taste of them) I have broth or water for the rest of the day. I'm really starting to get nervous about losing my hair. I may be fat, but my hair is beautiful and I don't want to lose it. I'm scared and I need encouragement, I think. Or you guys can lie to me and tell me I won't lose any hair. Thanks for any help.:help:

Hi

I found a protein mix shake I love. It's Unjury chocolate. I mix it with skim milk and add a teaspoon of natural peanut butter and a 1/4 of a banana blend well and add ice cubes to make a frosty. Plenty of protein and smooth.

I'm hearing that alot of people are getting their gallbladder removed. Is this common? Was it because of the weight loss?

yeah had mine out monday - goodtimes - just like starting over on the band - back on the liquid/mushy bland - I don't think it's that common my doctor told me the percentage, can't remember exact numbers but it was fairly low

Did you find that when you ate the burger and potatoe salad you were full for a long time? I had a very small piece of chicken and about a tablespoon of green beans yesterday around 5 and I'm still full the next day I can't eat any breakfast.

yeah it keeps me full quite a while but I haven't been filled yet - I go in on the 10th for my first - it's really tight first thing in the morning, it still takes a long time to finish my morning shake
