newskinnygal 51 Posted June 19, 2012 Hello Everyone! I am new to Lap Band Talk and will soon be new to the Lap Band World, in July! I have some questions I'm hoping some of you can help me with. Such as, what Vitamins do you take? What regimen do you use to keep your skin taught? Also, what were your favorite liquids and mushies to eat after surgery? Also, whats your favorite Protein Shake? Thanks in advance! Feel free to answer any of the questions, it doesn't have to be all them haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted June 19, 2012 Hi and welcome! I take the Women's One A Day Petites. It's two smaller pills instead of one big one. I can't help with the skin question, as I currently have a lot of excess skin. Quite honestly, I look like a freak'n Shar Pei. *laughs* I definitely have skin removal surgery in my future. My favorite liquids were low sodium broth and V8 Light fruit Blender juice. I also really liked the V8 soups- no chunks but very tasty. I ate considerable sugar free Jello, too My favorite Protein Shake is Unjury. I still have one for Breakfast every morning. I have tried many brands and Unjury is the only one I've found that I really like. Best wishes to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

electronicart 120 Posted June 20, 2012 Welcome to the journey! I take chewable Vitamins. My very favorite Protein drink is Syntrax nectar. I like the cappuchino flavor, I put it in coffee. They also have strawberry kiwi, fuzzy navel, Cookies and creme, etc. Now that sodas are out, I like some of the flavored waters. Excess skin...hmmm...what can I say, I'm 51, so it just doesn't snap back, ha. But I do exercise regularly and lotion up repeatedly during the day. After surgery I had chicken broth, popsicles and Jello. A day or two later I found out that I love cream of chicken Soup. After five days or so, I put homemade veggie Soup in the blender. It wasn't pretty, but it was goooooood! Go get em' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
