I too am being banded on december 19th but I bought the fortress protein from walmart. also i have tried Unjury and its not bad. what they suggested that I do was to take my five packets of carnation instant breakfast and put my protein powder all together and put it in a kool aid pitcher with 2 percent milk and shake it up.. its really good actually ... gl with your search i think its all personal preference. some like one thing and the others like another.. u can buy samples to try too

December 2008 Bandsters Names (Final)
jewels41 replied to Florida Pete's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
:whatchutalkingabout Thank you for telling me to drink the water up until midnight. Im sure that will help as well when I have my surgery. Im glad that everyone is doing so well thus far since there surgeries... I know my nurse told me to get a heating pad if I didnt already have one for after surgery for the gas. And yes the glycerin swabs are nice, I was a cna for over 20 years so am very familiar with them. thanks again and I'm so glad everyone is doing well julie -
Hi blondie, it does take sometime but in the end it will all be worth it. I am being banded december 19th. I started my journey in april and I had six dietician visits and you can only go once a month .. I thought perhaps I could have them all in six consecutive days.. lol wishful thinking on my part when I first started my journey. I wish you the best of luck but dont get discouraged keep going.. Just think you will be a New You in the end... so keep going.. dont give up... Julie :cursing:

hi lulu, I was just reading a post that you put in about what would you do differently and you said to start exercising before your surgery and try the protein drinks ahead of time. I noticed that you were 200 lbs and are 5'1 and now are at 123 lbs i think it said. I am also 5'1 and I weigh 207 lbs and I will be banded on december 19th. Im excited to finally have a date. Just wanted to say hi..

I have been feeling this way as well, want to eat all the foods that I wont be able to eat again or shouldnt eat again. I have a very nice mentor who has helped me thru alot of things such as this. And I have heard from another mentor of mine ( my space group) that you can eat alot of foods without any problem and not to go nuts and eat eat eat.. lol thanks I needed to hear your story as well..

Which Band - Realize or Allergan/Iname
jewels41 replied to texasweb's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I will be getting the allergan band on december 19th. The hospital where I will be having my surgery doesnt use the other band yet but he said it wont be anytime in the future. and Im ok with that. :smile2: -
Any December '08 Bandsters?
jewels41 replied to Florida Pete's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
december is fast approaching, so keep positive it will all work out in the end, I believe there are always reasons for something and I feel that it must have been a very good reason for you not having it on your original date. Did they say why it was postponed? and what date were you originally supposed to have your surgery... -
hi texas girl keep me posted on how you are doing.... hope all goes well for you as well. thanks Julie
