Hi, I just had lap band surgery on 3/8. Things are starting to feel good. I have been starting on mushie stuff to eat today, so we will see how things go.

Hi, I'm new to the group, Still in the waiting stage, pre-op. Jumping thru insurance hoops trying to get approval. Scheduled surgical date is July 23,2012. Would love to hear about tasty choices for protein shakes,etc. Helpful hints. Thanks for allowing me into your group. Trice

Psych eval is done and approved, just getting all my ducks in a row now.4/23/12

Hi,
I am new too, surgery scheduled 5/11/12. I have been trying a bunch of protein drinks to get ready for surgery. My favorites so far are the Costco Advantage(Chocolate,Vanilla), Unjury Powder(Unflavored, Chocolate, Vanilla) and Muscle Milk Lite. My nutritionist gave me some PB2 powder which is awesome in a chocolate shake with 1/2 a banana. The Unflavored Unjury is also good in soup or broth but it can't be too warm and it does change the color/consistency some. Hopefully they will still taste good to me post op.

 Hey there! I'm a newbie!! I'm still in the getting-started phase. Referral submitted and approved, the stuff insurance requires has been submitted and I'm waiting for the go-ahead. I've submitted a patient profile/health history so I can be put in the surgery center's computer system. Now I just wait :P I'm very anxious!! Hoping for an RNY in June maybe? (started process late February)

Hi. I am also in the beginning stages. I am on my third month of the required supervised weight loss program. I have had two visits with the surgeon. He has recommended the bypass rather than the sleeve or band. I have hopes and fears about the process like anyone, I might imagine. I am hopeful that I will have great success and fearful of losing my hair and having super baggy skin (although my insurance does cover reconstructive surgery). So, that's where I'm at. Hello!
