Anali, I am also being banded on January 23rd at 7am. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. My husband wants to take our kids to Disney a couple of weeks after my surgery and I am not sure about it either. I just can't imagine trying to find something to eat that will go down easily. I also imagine I will be a little sore. I would be interested to find out what you decide about your trip. Also, since we are being banded the same day, maybe we can keep in touch. Are you doing a pre-op diet? I have a 2 week pre-op diet.

I too have scheduled Jan. 23rd. I started my shakes and one meal today. They want me to keep at 1000 calories a day. Can I do different shakes? Or do I have to use the bariatric Protein shakes or the powder on other shakes?

Day 1 sucks. I can manage the 3 shakes, but the bars are disgusting. I'm going to call my surgeon tomorrow to see if I can do something besides the bars. I gag while I'm chewing. I've never liked the taste of Protein bars. I'm sticking with the diet though. If I can make it through the next few days I think I'll be ok. I just need to go to the grocery store to stock up on sugar free Jello and popsicles. I already have low sodium broth which has been a lifesaver today.

How's it going for you?

Its going better than I anticipated, kind of surprised acctually!! Although these Protein Shakes effect my stomach a little but otheriwse no migrains or aggrevation! Well at least for now. Are you allowed veggies? I am only 2 cups a day but non sarchy so no potatoes or corn which is fine. Hows day 2 holding up for you?!

Anali and Mimi , I had a horrible headache yesterday. I woke up with it and couldn't get rid of it all day. I even had to take some of my husbands Migraine medicine at midnight just so I could sleep. I am on day 2 of the Protein Shakes. I am using the "Jay Robb" brand. They are whey Protein isolate powders. The chocolate is pretty good and the strawberry was just ok. I had a bowl of Progresso light chicken and dumpling Soup last night and it tasted like manna from Heaven! I can have 2 other sugar free Snacks and that is it. I can't have any veggies and just fruit added to my shake. Today I am really hungry. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!

Chrissy + Anali -

Day 2 is much better and I chalk that up to good planning last night. I went to the grocery store and stocked up on everything I'm allowed to have. I had the worst headache last night and my poor coworkers, family and friends had to deal with my not so nice attitude, but today is MUCH better. I ended last night by taking a sleeping pill and praying to God to give me the strength to continue on this journey.

I can't have any fruits or veggies either, but I'm hoping my doc will say I can have some (even if it's very little) when he calls me back.

Keep up the good work ladies. Should we weigh in tomorrow to see if this is working?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
