Hello everyone, I am about to join all you other bandsert on Nov. 29th.and i am sure i sound like i am ready for it (not)lol yes i hope i am but like all of you i know i will be a little nuty after surgery missing all the food i love and the Holidays. Well i do get to have Thanksgining dinner with family but then Christmas i have no idea.Lets just all try to support each other and be here for one another ok.I am praying for all of us. I would like to hear from some of you who have had your surgery already and please tell me how you are doing and how is the liquid diet going or the mushie food and are you getting enough protien in.And if so how are you doing it,have you found a really good protien source such as the shakes or the powder.ANy right now would be greatly appreciated.Thank you so much. Eva

I am having RNY on the 29th. Just wanted to tell you congratulations!!!!!

I'm with you Eva-mine surgery's the next day. Have you visited the lapband forum? Great info there on the early and long term diets as well as protein sources. From what I've read-Unjury protein powder unflavored is the best since it doesn't have any vitamins or anything to make it taste funny. They have a website at www.unjury.com and they sell samples-I've ordered some though they say our taste buds may change after surgery. I'm starting to get a little nervous but I know we are all going to do well. Debi

I have disacovered that the slim fast low carb shakes has 20 g of protein and 1 g of sugar and they really taste good , does anyone use these?I think they are fairly new , not like the regular slim fast that fills you up on sugar....God bless you and protect you and all the others going into surgery Pat
