Hi, I'm a 62 year old male. I was banded 11 Feb. The expierence was great. I met my DR on 26 Jan since then I lost 31 Lbs. I drink a Whey Protien shake, with 1 cup of milk and frozen strawberries. Put all in a blender and it's great. Has 29 grams of protien,carries me to lunch, then I have a yoplait smoothie and that carries me to dinner. Tonight I had asmall piece of porkchop with carrots cooked in a crock pot all day. I find this very easy to follow.
