27 days post op lap band help
Hi All
I am new to the forum but glad that I found it. I had my lap band surgery on May 29 and ended up with complications. I left hospital a week ago and am feeling so..........weak and discouraged. I have lost 32 pounds already but I can barely walk across the floor I am so weak. Does anyone have any ideas for a protein drink, etc that doesn't have alot of empty calories?
HELP!

Try using cottage cheese, vanilla yogurt and perhaps a carnation instant breakfast in various flavours. Puree it all together with some milk. If you can do protien powder as well you can get this shake up to about 60 grams of protein.
I can only drink it when it is really cold buthave one a day and have had since about 1 month post op. It keeps me going....
Take things slowly and stay positive.
What kind of complications did you have?
