  1. My nut said 24-27 grams max protein absorption
  2. Nectar vanilla bean torte is good. Mixed with water it has just over 100 calories and zero carbs, far or sugar. All of the Nectar flavors are good,
  3. Preop was water, could use milk post op. I used nectar cookies and cream. It was good with slightly warm water.

    Protien Bars

    I live the white chocolate macadamia Zone Perfect bars. I like the pure protein also, the s'mores and caramel nut are my favs. The zone ones are more or a Krispy rice texture where the pure protein are soft and chewy.

    Cole Slaw vs Salad greens

    I have the same experience, slaw is fine but not garden salad. I guess it's the texture of raw cabbage vs lettuce.

    Pant Sizes

    5'3'' pre surgery I was 298 and squeezing into a 28 if there was some elastic in the waist. I'm now 245 and need a belt with a size 22 but not quite to a 20. Now on top, I'm comfortably in an 18.
  9. I had one in my port incision about 3 weeks after surgery. Antibiotics (keflex) took care of it. Surgeon said it was superficial in the indecision and did not actually get to the port itself. I'm now 2 months later and that end of the incision is a more raised darker scar but the infection is gone, dr said if it was went deeper we would have had to remove to port.
  10. I'm 2 months out with no fill yet. I've lost 51 lbs. dr declines fill last month and said we'd do it this month if I lost less than 5 lbs but I'm down 10 since last apt and still 2 weeks to go until this months apt so likely no fill this time either. My surgeon put zero in at surgery so I'm completely empty.
  11. My surgeon also says Flintstones chewable a; 2 per day.
  12. No, my surgeon says no Protein Shakes at the 4 week post op point when he allows normal food. I get all my protein from solid food.
  13. I'm right there with you! I was banded Nov 9, and I'm down 48. My surgeon even skipped my first scheduled fill last week. I know eventually the loss wit ll slow down and ill need a fill but I'm enjoying this while it lasts! Congrats on your loss!
  14. Have a small slice if the pie but just eat the filling, skip the crust, that's where most of the fat and calories are!

    Protein shakes vs slimfast

    The slim fast low carb had only 2 grams sugar, 4 carbs, 21 grams protein for 200 calories. I used them when I was on the go for the convenience of being premixed

    You can adjust but have to do it from computer, cannot do it via phone ap. I think the instructions are under the FAQs that are on the phone ap.
