Well I just found out today I’ll be having my surgery on Monday the 4th.

Try unjury

Congratulations

Hi I’m from Wayne, having my surgery next Monday

I’m trying to have the sleeve done just waiting for the approval. Had the Lapland but to many problems.

Try unjury. It tastes good and you can add fruit or pb powder.

Hello, This will be my 2nd yr of fasting with the band. The 1st was easy as I didn't have a fill. This yr. I will eat a normal dinner whatever I cook but in smaller portions. In the morning I am going to make protein shakes and I also bought some protein shots from Wall Mart. I usually didn't wake up in the morning but I know I need as much protein as I can get.

Hello everyone, Glad to have a Muslim posting. I did very well last Ramadan. I was banded in July and fasting was a month away. My doctor didn't like the idea of fasting but a lot of them don't understand it. You can try fasting and if it doesn't agree with you don't continue. I am going for another fill on the 23rd of this month. I had on but they had to let some out as I could not eat or drink. I drink the protein called unjury. It tastes very good. I also take chewable vitamins for calcium and multivitamins. I wish you all good luck for fasting this year as the days will be long.

Hello everyone, My name is Jean and I am an American Muslim. I have been banded for almost one year and lost about 60 lbs. Its been slow at times. I had a hernia operation in Dec. and my hubby was sick and I went off track. I am going to get another fill in 2 weeks. I fasted last Ramadan with no problems. I bought some high protein shots I found in Walmart. This year I will have one of them in the morning and eat a lot of protein to break the fast at night. Always make sure you get up before sun rise as close to the stop eating time as possible.:cursing:

Hello everyone, I finally can drink normal again. I am feeling dizzy but I think I am not getting enough protein. I will call Dr. tomorrow. Also my throat and ears are bothering me. I am going to start and try and drink more protein today. I drank 60mg so I will try 80 to 100 a day and see if that helps. I am just so HAPPY I can drink. LOL:thumbup:

Hello everyone. I was banded on Monday 7/21. When I woke up I had this awful pressure on my chest.When I tried to walk it went to my neck and was hard to breathe. It is a little better now after 2 1/2 days. I was so sick I could not drink cause it made me gag and get the sweats. I did much better today I got down 2 protein shakes and 8ozs of propel water. I am also sleeping all the time. I am glad I did this and hoping it gets better as time goes by.

Thanks for the info. I am still having some problems. I still can't drink as much as the want me to. It was a real bad night for me. When I drink I get real full and than if I move to fast that's the end. I start to gag and get the sweats and it didn't go away till the morning. Almost called the doctor but finally fell asleep. I am better now but I think I will chew on ice chips for awhile.

Thanks to giving me some confidence. I found a rotein drink that tastes good. Its called Unjury. I want to find some protein bars for later on that taste good. Ant suggestions?

Hello everyone! My lapband surgery is scheduled for 7/21. I am getting a little nervous about whats to come and the diet part. I know I can make it the 3 weeks liquid part. I am nervous about the food part and will I be getting enough proteins and vitamins. Does everyone feel the same in the beginning? I thought long and hard about this and I know its the right thing to do for myself. I need to get healthier and to be able to do for myself without depending on my kids to help with the laundry and house cleaning. I hate exercise but know I have to start somewhere so I will start walking on my lunchtime. Wish me luck.:biggrin2:
