Protein drinks

OK So I beleive in preparing way ahead of time, I have stocked up on protein drinks or should I say sampling protein drinks, I have the samplers pack of Unjury,Inspire & today I went in Rite-Aid & they had Isopure buy one get one free & I had 2.00 off coupons (coupon queen)Isopure is great when you let it freeze it taste like a slush & it gives you a break from the thick milky protein.Unjury is good also,Inspire has all the good flavor but not enough 4oz.:scared2:

DO YOU REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH IS IN YOUR BAND??????????????

O.k. so today I went for my second fill, on my fist fill I got 1cc so I'm thinking I only got 1cc in my band so the doc decided to take all the fluid out to see exactly how much I really had, I had 5cc & 1-1/2cc added today so I have a total of 6-1/2cc so maybe I will have some restriction now,I have lost 43-lbs,my surgery was Oct.18,2010.
