    Protein drinks - GAG

    I agree. I drink unjury everyday. I use the unflavored powder. I take a 2 liter coke bottle and put 3 scoops of the unflavored pwder which is 60 grams of Protein, 1 tub of crystal light, shake it up real good, then pour it into the biggest Water bottle that is comfortable to carry around. I know I need to drink the coke bottle for the day. I will carry the water bottle around all day drinking on it then at night I will finish off what is left of the 2 liter at night while watching tv. This usually gets all my protein in for the day. I dont eat a lot because its too uncomfortable.. I will manage to eat a little at night because thats when things go down better. Also the strawberry flavored unjury powder is really good if you will mix it like above with the strawberry crystal light tub. Very good. When I first starting drinking protein I couldnt even stand the smell of the protein but since I starting mixing it like above, I now crave it and cant stand to go a day without my protein bottle and I also get all my water in by doing it this way.

    Restriction ASAP

    According to Inamed, only about 1% will feel restriction after surgery. I did not have any restriction. I went for my 1st fill 5 weeks after surgery. I had good restriction for 5 days and now it is completely gone. I go for my 2nd fill this friday. Those who do not feel hungry and have some restriction after surgery probably have a smaller band. My understanding is they are using the larger bands more now to help prevent erosion, therefore there are more people complaining about no restriction. If I dont feel restriction after my 2nd fill, I will be going back every two weeks until it happens. Its been 2 months since surgery and I have to fight to keep the 10 lbs off. Very depressing but am looking forward to being able to get a fill every 2 weeks now if needed. Come Friday my new journey will begin AGAIN.
