Hi All... I want to add some protein powder to other foods to increase my protein intake. I don't want something that tastes awful, especially if it is sold as unflavored. Any one buy a powder that they loved ?? Thanks in advance for all your answers !

I am scheduled for surgery on May 9th with Dr. Ren. I am scared and wondering what this will be like. I need to lose weight, and this is my only option now. I have high blood pressure, pre diabetic, and back problems so I can't exercise. Any body else like me ?? Let me know what your experience was like, I am so curious. TIA

My surgery is May 9th, and I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet. I only have to do it for 1 week, thank G-d. I am having bad headaches and queasiness. My surgeon is Dr. Ren, at NYU...anyone else havinig surgery there next week ? Good luck to everyone !%20[/url][/img]

Hi there ! I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet (I only have to do do a week), and I hear ya ! I'm trying to drink ice Water, Crystal Light, and my shakes. When I get hungry, I eat my vegtables, and if I still need something, I suck on sugar free hard candy and try to distract myself. So far, it"s working. But I am having headaches and some queasiness. Good luck !

My surgery is scheduled for next Monday, May 9th. I have come to the conclusion that what frightens me the most is being nauseous and throwing up, possibly even dislodging my band. I follow rules, but do you know other ways to insure I don't get nauseous ?? How much do you have to throw up before you have to woory you did something to your band ? Any info to help calm me would be so appreciated.

thank you ! thank you ! You make me want to stop everything to read all these posts from others, and read your blog at the same time. I am having my surgery on the 9th, and as I have posted elsewhere am petrified of the nauseousness and throwing up. Iwill follow directions but its all the big world of unknown to me at this point. PB'ing is SOO not on my bucket list of things to do/see before I die ! LOL you are inspiring, continue your writing, you are touching souls, and giving courage to bodies. etti

Hey there, please keep in touch. We can be banding buddies. I am scared, but will face this head on. I will support you if you want. I live in NY, have a supportive hubby and 5 kids, but they aren't going through this...let me know, we are 1 week out from surery tomorrow,,uuuggghhhh !! liquid diet starts tom for me, woo hoo. I am committed, so just need support, Be in touch k ???

My question is really, when during this process does one feel nauseous and when and why will I throw up ?? If I listen to my doctors discharge orders will that guarantee I don't feel sick and throw up ? What are the major things I can do to make sure I don't get nauseous ? Aside from the meds, which I for sure will ask for, what else can I do.

Hey there! I'm also having my surgery on the 9th, and I am scared out of my mind ! My story is not quite as interesting....My BMI is 32 but I have other health issues. I was able to lose weight but only with serious diet and exercise. After I hurt my back last year, the exercise had to stop and the weight came back. Anyway, I am petrified of not the surgery, but after. I am afraid of being nauseous and throwing up all the time. I start my liquid diet on Monday and am committed, but wishing I could lose my weight and keep it off a different way. Good luck to you and keep us posted on your success !! Etti

Oh wow, you guys really are making me feel so much better, I am still scared, but I will use this site for support. Thank you !! Now, how do I set up those weight loss charts you guys have....yes, I am totally computer illiterate..lol

I am scheduled to have my surgery on May 9th, my BMI is 32, but I have 2 comorbidities. Anyone have this surgery with the same thing ?? I am wondering how the weight loss went..how much did you lose ?? How quickly/slowly ?? what was the total weight loss ?? What was your experience like ? I am scared, and looking for support and answers. TIA !!
