Hi Everyone...I was banded Aug 18 and am still in my first week. This is also my first time on a blog. I lost 10 lbs presurgery and 4 so far this week. Seems like every other day I am experiencing some hunger. I am definitely sick of those sweet protein shakes and have consolidated the protein into one shake to which I am adding lemon juice. I see the doc Monday for the first post-op. Hope he says this is OK.:tongue:

Hi, just noticed your post and we were banded the same day. Good luck. I have tried to mix up my food choices so I don't get bored. I made a frozen protein shake tonight and it was goood!! I think that it was a bit more than I could handle because i drank it 20 min ago and i feel like I had Thanksgiving dinner. It was only 6 ounces but it was thicker than anything I have had so far. Maybe I will half it next time...ugh. I guess we will leran exactly what are bodies can handle and what it can't. Well keep me up to date on your progress. I had 86 pounds to lose to reach my goal. 11 down and 75 to go....

I was surprised to get a message. I am so glad I decided to post. Hey, we have about the same amount to lose!

I have tried to stick to 2oz per "dose"...but I have filled up my baby stomach more than that at times...What did you put in the shake to make it good????
