I had my surgery on 09/29/2011 with Dr.Christopher Reilly at True Results---I purchased a protein shake from GNC called Amplify--and it is great with water--go to the store ,Ithink they have samples to try.

Well this is my first time on this site,but has been reading it for about 2 months. I am scheduled to be banded on the 29th and will be starting my pre-op diet on the 15th, I am not sure how to start the diet ,I have never ,ever made a smoothie or any type of protein drink, I do not want to tastes to discourage me. Anyone have any good ideas?

I am also on the liguid diet,the first day I wondered if I would be able to tolerate the Protein shakes,it was something about the taste that was not good,so I got a blender and I add just a few drops of vanilla with a few cubes of ice and blend like there is NO tomorrow- and now I enjoy my shakes. Today ,I tried an unflavored pack of Protein shake, added acouple of spoons of banana instant pudding a couple og drops of vanill and 3-4 ice cubes and it was absolutely delicious. I am sitll trying different brand of Protein,but the one that Iam really enjoying right now is unjury --I purchased the started pack and I like them all,but have not tried the chicken yet.

Iam also scheduled for the 29th and am very excited and equally nervous ----GOOD LUCK TO US ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I started my pre-op diet--My band is scheduled for Sept 29th. I started this morning with a protein shake and it was Ok, I trying not to focus on the limitations but it is hard and I feel like it will only get harder,but I know the end results will be worth it. I can do find in the day time while I am at work it is when I am home in the evenings when my mind gets busy, I plan to try to keep myself busy and start a walking scheduled as soon as the weather gets a little cooler. Do anyone have any better sugestions take can help keep me stay focus especially at nights and weekends, has anyone ever got off track doing the pre-op period?

Thank You,what is the ratio of pudding to protein mix. I purchase the started set of UNJURY--contains--chocolate,strawberry ,vanilla,chicken soup and unflavored--the chocolate and strawberry are good,but still has that very mild protein after taste,but are still very smooth in texture,but you can only get this product on-line-Do you have any suggestion of any good protein shakes.Thanks
