  1. Dymatize Elite Whey Protein Cafe Mocha...It is really goos especially when you make it with skim milk. 117 calories for one scoop with 24grms of protein-0 sugar! I do not like sweet Protein drinks...so this really works well for me. I tried a bunch...like this the best. I got this at Vistacost...$36.00 for 5 lbs. plus shipping. Take care and good luck!
  2. Good luck everyone! Mine was on the 13th and feeling good! Enjoy the weekend!

    I am on my 2nd day of post op.

    Hi! I was banded the same day as you! It gets better each day! I got one protein drink in yesterday and today I decided to do 1.5 scoops and skim milk...if I can't get any more in today..that is fine. The protein powder I decided on it really pretty good...so taste is not an issue. Keep plugging along...you will do great!

    2nd day post-op

    Hi Leslie...Congratulations! You are all done! I had mine done the day before yours..13th. I can tell you that tomorrow you will probably feel pretty good. Big difference for me today. I am struggling getting all the protein and water in...but little by little it should be ok. Only took 1 pain pill the night of the surgery.. Sounds like you are doing great!
  6. How are all the new bandsters doing. Had mine on the 13th and doing really well. Only took one percocet on the 13th and that was it. Very little gas pain. Did not do well drinking yesterday...but today is better...got my first shake down already. So for those that are waiting...no worries..you will do fine! I will be thinking of you!
  7. I was banded yesterday....how many days did you stay on clear liquid only and then move on to a protein shake?

  9. I will be thinking of you! I am getting the band tomorrow!
  10. Glad to hear everyone is doing great and many of us have move to the "other side"! I can't wait for my turn...Tuesday at 7:30 AM! Lucky that I have no pre-op..but have been good with no last supper syndrome! Well maybe this weekend! Have a great weekend everyone.

    Goal weight?

    I will be banded on the 13th...But when I went to the nurtionist..I had to get a funky scale...it measured all sorts of things. I am 5'4', age 62 and she told me my weight should be 161. If I feel I can get lower great....If I feel good at this weight..wonderful! It is a number..I just want to be healthy! Good luck everyone!

    How do you out a ticker?

    Once you design the ticker...you need to hit get code..this brings up a screen that has several coding versions...Pick the first one...copy and then paste in your signature. It took me forever...but I did it!
  15. NJ-Will pay $9500 for surgeon and surgery suite and $2000 for the anthesia....1 year of fills included.
  16. You look wonderful! Not only did you lose all that weight.......you look 10 years younger too!

  17. I did all the research first and am self-pay...so I had two hurdles to cross! But I just told him at dinner one night..I did not ask permission...I just said I was going to do this and I know "you will be supportive". It worked. He did not speak much about it..but over the last few weeks he could see changes in me and how I am eating..changing habits, etc. Now he is asking questions and appears interested. I will be done on the 13th. He is giving up some of our social eating and drinking out weekends...until I am ready to cope with this...so we have to appreciate their changes too.

    What I dream about..

    You know what else I dream about............did you notice the photos of the before and after...all the before pictures..the prebandsters are smiling..but they are not happy. Just like mine. But after the band and the weightloss..their smiles are truly happy smiles...I dream of that!

    What I dream about..

    You know you took the words right out of my mouth! I so want to get those great bras and sexy undies at Victoria Secrets...and have them look good! I would love to wear shorts....I want my knees and back not to hurt when I get up and not look like a stiff fool getting in the pedi chair! I go on the 13th.....hope your date is soon! Good luck!
  20. No...Oct.13th...I just can't wait. But just couldn't get a date before with my work schedule...
