Hello, just signed up. Should have did this months ago. I am having my band done May 14. Excited but nervous about the "recovery". I don't do well with taste changes and I hear the protein shakes aren't that great. Can anyone recommend any.

What about this puree phase. Not appealing either.

But I guess thats what I get for putting on all this weight.

Hey, question. Several of you have goal weight numbers. My Dr. didn't tell me what my "ideal" wieght is that I should get to. How did you figure yours out??

Take Care everyone:biggrin:

i absolutely HATED the shakes! i drink isopure now. they are like fruit juices basically. i think they are comparable to gatorade in taste. they have 40 grams of protein per drink so its amazing! my nutritionsit told me once i got to the puree stage to just chew my food WAY more than i normally would and puree it in my mouth. during that stage i ate ALOT of beans! the way my dr told me to figure out my weight is by my height. hope that helped some and good luck!

I've always drank the Atkins Advantage shakes. I think they are good. I like the chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. I'm sure there are some people who don't like them, but you might give em a try. Good luck!!! Becky
