That's a terrific suggestion, thanks so much!-Brian

Glad to hear your feeling better today! Thanks for the insight.-Brian

Elisabeth-WOW, now that's a wealth of information and exactly the answers I was looking for! Thank you very much, it's greatly appreciated!!!-Brian

LMAO......thanks for the reply and laugh, I needed that! Seems like you have a great outlook about this. Strange though, I didn't know that there could be such a wide range of tollerable foods between lap-banders. Thanks again for the insight, it's greatly appreciated!-Brian

I ventured on in to a GNC today, looking for something besides my Bariatrx Essentials Dutch Chocolate(which isn't too bad IMO) I too wanted an unflavored protein drink. I spoke with the counter lady and told her what I was looking for. She recommended "Designer Whey" "natural" flavor, said alot of bariatric people use it and like it. I asked again if "natural" ment unflavored. She assured me it did, not to mention it had a "GOLD" taste award right on the container. Rushed home and put a scoop in with 4oz. of Crystal Light.......good lord, if that's "GOLD" metal taste I wouldn't wish Silver or even Bronze for that matter on my worst enemy!lol So anyway my search still continues for the perfect "non-flavored" protein powder. Atleast with Sherry's pudding idea, I should be able to get the rest of this batch down.

Thanks, I will pick some up tomorrow! I see your in Moscow, I spend my childhood in a small farming community just south called Genessee.....what a trip?!<BG> OBTW-could you point me in the direction of how to get a sig going? I go to my porfile, but don't see a link. What a newbie I am! http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/3;10300;7;0;1/c/283/t/200/s/309/k/32c2/weight.png

LOL.....small world huh?! WOW, banded by the end of July and your already over 70lbs lost.....that's terrific, CONGRATS! Looks like I need to figure out how to make a custom sig, mine is seriously lacking compared to you ladies.<G>

Hi fellow lap-banders! My name is Brian, I'm 31 and from central Oregon. Just had mine done on Sept. 5th and all is going well.(well....with the exception of one small thing, but that's for another thread! Just wanted to say hey, and hope to learn and share from our bariatric experiences.

Thankyou! Congrats to you as well, it really looks like your making some serious progress in a short time!!!

Thanks for your reply, it's greatly appreciated!!! I'm curious though....have you ever tried chewable antacids or anti-gas with any success? Thanks again-Brian
