Sunshine, i found the liquid Tylenol at Wal-Mart. I bought a whole bunch right away, i hope you find some soon.

CVS online has liquid tylenol and all the other things we need from a pharmacy. For the other things like Protein items, boullion, etc., I found just about everything for the whole process from a few different sources. I like to shop in general but for this it seemed easiest just to order on line and let them bring it all to me. Other than popsicles, Soup, and flavored water I think I've got it all.

I am being banded on January 15th. I've been through my psych consultation, nutrition consultation and sleep study, but I still have to have my upper GI. I have to do a liquids diet for 7 days prior to surgery, which I'm worried about more than the actual surgery! This is an awesome website, and it helps so much to read about people who have actually been through the process (or who are about to go through the process). I'm so glad to have found a thread where people are being banded around the same time that I am. It will be so helpful to compare notes after our respective surgeries. Count me in as a member of the "too-greedy-to-give-up-the-holidays-before-banding" boat!

I was posting in another thread before I got my date, which turns out to be January 3rd. They are all being banded in December. I felt shunned! jk Wanted to see who else was in my boat? The "too-greedy-to-give-up-the-holidays-before-banding" boat.

I'm having major computer problems this morning, I tried to add you to the list happylady, however, my computer won't let my copy & paste this morning. Perhaps someone else can update the list...Pinky?

But Welcome to our gourp Happylady. I love the phrase "too-greedy-to-give-up-the-holidays-before-banding" too funny, but so true!

Hello Everyone,

I will be banded on January 2 and I cannot wait. I have been on the pre-op diet since December 23 and am feeling good. My surgeon and nutritionist want me to have a diet that's around 125 carbs, 60-90 grams of Protein and 880-1100 calories and I have stuck closely to that (protein drinks, Meal Replacements, 1 serving of fruit and 2 servings vegetables). I am however, having a hard time with the protein drinks- they either have a chemical taste to them (Myoplex Carb Sense) or are too thick and chalky (Spiru-Tein).

Does anyone have any suggestions of Protein Drinks that are more palatable?

hmmmm, I like the Optimum Nutrition, Rocky Road flavor. I also like any of the Designers whey Protein drinks, they come in lots of flavors. I would go to a place like GNC, and get some samples, that way you can try different ones and see which one you like the best. Try getting a vanilla flavored, and adding some fruit to it, and see if that helps.

I don't have problems with any of the Protein Shakes, I was on an all liquid diet for 6 months once and lived off of protein shakes. I became quite addicted to them. I'm a weird one, I know. lol.
