Darlene! You totally rock cutie patootie! .....Felt like I was there in person to hug those fresh little newbies and chatter away with all the oldies!......I think you may have earned yourself an offical JOB as the reporter for the group! LOL! Lvoe you bunches! Have a great day! ......am I forgetting to mention anything???? *winks* Joyce

awww!! Thats awesome! Tell your hubby he can rest assured that I *always* look like someones "cousin" or "ex -best friends-ex-wives-brothers ex girlfriends sister" or something I just have one of "those" faces eh? Thank you so much! It was so refreshing to see all the people and just know I wasn't alone and I really feel like I have somewhere to go to ask questions to that won't berate me or tell me to "read the manual" so to say. *HUGS*

Sorry we couldn't give you more info about foods you can or cannot have--- it's hard because every surgeon is different... Personally I think adding PB or banana to your shakes right now would be fine... jus****ch banana's if your sensitive to sugars.... I just know how nasty those protein shakes are, and would do anything to mask that taste! LOL
