I eat Chobani greek yogurt. It comes in different flavors like honey, vanilla, plain, then strawberry & blueberry (fruit on the bottom). I eat the vanilla and honey and there is 0g fat and 16g of protein.

My favorite right now is Slim Fast High Protein for 15g. I like how it is really creamy like a milk shake. I also like EAS carbcontrol 17g and I also drank Isopure 40g. I think that some protein drinks are better than others but I think it takes some getting used to the taste.

I was banded 11/3 too! Did you ever meet with a nutritionist? My nutritionist gave me a list of foods to eat through each stage. I have stuck to the list completely and have lost 12lbs so far. Are you walking or getting any exercise? Even though I may not have restriction right now because I don't have a fill I act like I do. I act like if I eat too much to fast it is going to get stuck or make me throw up because when I do get fills this is what is going to happen if I don't be careful. It's all psychological. Don't give up yet on yourself or the band. I keep telling myself this is just the begining and it will only get better from here.

Hi Everyone, I have had hunger pains in the middle of the night twice now. Basically, I am woken up by my stomach growling and hunger pains. I hate it because I have to get up to eat something for it to go away. Water doesn't help. Last night I had a jello before bed but that didn't help. Tonight I think I will have a protein drink to see if that works. Anyone else have this and have any ideas. Thanks, Stephanie

The problem is that I am on week 2 and can't eat anything more solid.

Hi Everyone, I am from North Eastern Mass.

Hello, My name is Stephanie and I was banded on 11/3. I live in Massachusetts and am 25yrs old. I am looking for a buddy to support me in this journey. My fiance and I currently live in two different states but he took off work for a week to take care of me. Now that I am alone I am feeling very emotional. Any support would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steph

Last night I couldn't sleep for the life of me. I tried going to bed at 11:30pm and just couldn't sleep. I layed in bed, I tried to read a book, I watched TV, I walked around, and nothing helped. My body feels like the insides are ready to run a marathon. I yawned and yawned but no sleep. I must of fell asleep around 3:30 and woke up @ 4:30 soaked in sweat. And I couldn't sleep again. I must of fell asleep at 5:30 and was awake by a call at 8pm. I never have trouble sleeping and last night I wanted to pull my hair out of my head. Any suggestions for tonight if I can't sleep? PS I was banded on 11/3 so its not like I've been having any caffine to keep me up. Thanks, Stephanie :thumbup:

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to say hello and I was banded Nov. 3rd. Things are going well besides the aches and pains. I am very happy with my decision. *Steph*
