What are some protein powders y'all like and how do you like to mix them up? I've been trying to look some up online but I think it would be easier to ask y'all.

I had the same problem with not being able to find it but he used the dopplar and found it. They didn't numb you before they stuck you? I couldn't imagine being stuck with that needle without being numb because they usually have to stick me 2 or 3 times before they actually find it but the middle of the port. -
Lol nvm had a moment there for a sec I see you said unflavored :-)
-
Which flavor was the best?

Thank you so much lol I haven't really been sure what are good powders and what are bad ones....I'm going to look that one up
-
Thank you catfish :-) and sandy I thought I was going to have withdrawals from bread lol but when it gets stuck it's kind of like you don't want anything to do with it anymore...don't get me wrong I think about it but its like when you get sick on a certain food and you don't want that food for awhile but with the band it's exciting because that's what really put the weight on me.

I agree hazel now when I go out I just ask for the meat instead of the whole thing lol... Some look at me weird but I don't see the sense in wasting bread...just might as well not use it. I use to love sandwiches but now it just seems easier to leave the bread alone (because its a hassle and hurts not because I want to) and just eat them meat. Bread was my biggest enemy though...I'm kind of glad it gets stuck.

Every time I eat bread it hurts so I've been kinda sad too lol. I haven't tried toasted maybe that's what I need to try

That is awesome!

I just had my third fill about 2 weeks ago and it changed my eating habits also. I believe that's what it suppose to do though it has cut my eating in half if not more since this last fill. I'm 4.3 ccs in a 10cc band and I don't believe I'm far from the green zone. It has cut out my bread completely because it gets stuck. I'm excited about it cutting out my bread lol!

I went in at 530 am and left at 11am the same day that was from being admitted to being discharged so I didn't have to stay there long at all but I would recommend t-shirt and sweat pants or some kind of stretchy pants/shorts.
-
Some people get fluid in their band during surgery but my first fill was 2ccs.
-
K thank you :-) do you know if maybe you could dilute them down into some water or something to make it not as strong?
-
After my first fill I was gaining and then I got my second one and I started slowly losing and.then when I came.back for my third fill I had lost 4 lbs in a month and.I know.it.doesn't seem like much but I keep reminding myself it took YEARS to put this weight on and it's going to take a little while to get it off. Good luck with your journey :-)
