    Protien shake "sample packs?"

    Unjury is amazing. Love it. I put it in my coffee now every morning to help get my proteins in. Buy it you will love it.
  2. I couln't have kept up three weeks out at disney. You will be moving around and your pain should be gone but i was still short of breath and tired at three weeks out. If you can go slow and take it at your pace you might be ok. I wish you the best in whatever you decide.

    Pre OP Weight Lose -

    my doctor asked for more as well. I got down 15, good luck. My surgery was july 10th and all went well.
  4. You will do great. I would have never been able to go to work the following Monday. You really might want to rethink that. I was banded July 10th and I'm down 34 lbs from the beginning of my preop diet. Good luck.
  5. I chose the lap band because it was the least invasive and it is reversible. The others are not. I was banded on July 10th and have had no regrets. I am down 34 lbs since the beginning of my pre op. I'm thrilled. Good luck and listen to your Doctors.

    Weight not moving....

    I was banded on July 10th. I was stuck with no movement for six days and was just about to get sad. I could tell my body was making changes though. Low and behold the scale has dropped 5 lbs in the last three days. Be patient. It will happen. I have no fill in my band and i'm still under 1000 calories a day. Very pleased. Hang in there.

    The pre-op diet

    my doctor gave me a list of things i could eat and how many calories and i knew it was to much for me so I did my own. I drank a Protein shake for Breakfast, another Protein Shake for lunch, ate a lean cuisine for dinner and had a sugar free fudgsicle for a bedtime snack. worked great. I lost 10 lbs. Good luck
