I'm about 7 weeks post-surgery, and 1 tiny chewed up cube of Watermelon actually made me barf! I will not forget that feeling anytime soon...... -
What is the best Protien Drink ?

Yes I like the GNC Isopure Dutch Choc- 50 gms! My MD recommended the Unjury mail order brand- "medical quality", but so gross I couldn't tolerate it. GNC also has Isopure clear flavored drinks- I mix the grape 1/2 & 1/2 with purple Gatorade for my son, who is 13 and a crazy athlete. -
The only plan they offered me was $60+ for the month (for my Blackberry though- this was supposed to include email) but it didn't work for 3 out of the 5 days I was there- I called when I got back home and they did give me a partial refund.

Thanks Pete! I started the LSD the day I got in from Eveleine- April 9, I believe- down 10 lbs already! The walking is the hard part- blew out my knee in Dec- need to try the exercycle and see how that feels. You're an inspiration! Any other tips/comments on the Dr Kuri experience? How did you feel flying home? I have to get all the way back to CT

If 5/5 is the diet he had put me on before surgery then here is what I did. Long before hand I knew I was going to be going to the low fat / low carb diet so I first off stopped drinking soda all together. I also started having an Atkins shake for breakfast with low fat/carb lunch and dinner. After about 2 weeks I started doing the shake for both breakfast and lunch still not being total strict about dinner. Then 3 weeks later when my diet was officially to start I restricted my dinner and added the light snacks between meals. Then 3 more weeks later was my surgery. From the time I started the process to the day of my surgery I lost 25 lbs in that 8 weeks time. I also had begun walking every day. It is essential to get out and walk EVERY DAY. At first I could only walk to the mail box in our appartment complex and back which isn't all that far. Check this out also. Dr. Kuri & Associates - LapBand

Hey Pete! I signed up for 5/5 surgery with Dr. Kuri, THEN found this wonderful lapbandtalk resource- NOT getting cold feet but trying to track down some of his patients directly for their input..... anything you can do to get me to 5/5 without a mental breakdown would be appreciated!
