I completely understand! I currently can't stand the site of a protein shake! Luckily, my doctor gave the go-ahead  to start eating more foods. It helps, I promise! Something else that I got is a protein shot. They should carry them at GNC. Mine is 42 grams of protein, 0 grams sugar and carbs, and 108 calories. I'm not going to lie, it tastes disgusting, but its only 3.8 ounces and it provides sooo much protein. It's worth trying, especially if you are starting to be able to eat other foods. Also, try making the protein shake with ice and really thick. I also used the zero calorie flavored water in mine and it tasted pretty good! Good luck!

Did your weight loss start again? And how much have you lost?

 hey ladys iam suppose to get mines done on feb 10 2011 , today i started my 2 week diet before the surgery, so today is day 1 of diet juices , sodas , and i can only eat vegetables , and drink protein shakes , sugar free popsicles and sugar free gelatin ,and i have to find a salad dressing that was calorie free and fat free , that dressin dont taste to good but hey this is the first step,  so...... i guess day 1 is ok , just feel a little lite headed,,, and got to get use to everything , do you have any advice for me doing this 2 week diet before sugery...

I just had my Lap Band done on the 12th. I can tell you that COSCO has these awesome 30 gram protein shakes called Premier Nutrition. As far as the nerves hun I'm not real sure but since I am new here, I think you will have had your surgery by the time you recieve this reply. God speen honey. :)

I had my surgery on the 13th. The exact same thing happened to me. So, I removed the scale from my house. Drastic I know, but sometimes that scale can make or break your day.
Good Luck Girl. I need some friends here, so request me if you like.
Take care.
