I thought I would touch base with the community and let everyone know that I will be in the forums absorbing as much info as I can. I was just recently banded (3/2/09).

So far, everything is going very well. I had pain the first day but since then I have done well. Right now I am doing 3 protien shakes a day (Muscle Milk - Cookies N Cream) @ 21g per and then drinking Crystal Lite throughout the day. I have also got a chewable Vitamin I take 1x/day.

Down 17 pounds thus far (10 lbs since 3/2/09).

Congratulations and keep up the good work. Just remember that this period is all about healing. Take care of yourself and just get better so you're all ready for your first fill!
