Yasmina...

I use unjury... I've compared it to my fiance's Protein Powder (which is super high in fat, calories and cholesterol) and the Unjury has only 90 calories, 0 fat and 3g of carbs and 0 cholesterol per scoop. I use the vanilla quite a bit (blend in fresh fruit...and my latest find..cinnamon and pure vanilla extract to make it taste like a cinnamon bun)...it does have a slight "protein after taste" but its not bad at all.

GaffMan - You are in the 2's. Congratulations my man. You men piss me off at how fast you lose! Really, I'm proud of you. Keep it up.
Andrew: Are you kidding me! Congratulations on your weight loss. I can't believe you've been at this such a short time with such outstanding restults.

Thanks for the kind words people. I know the men have the advantage with the higher metabolism and all making it easier for us to drop the weight. It feels great to see the 2's, hopefully I can recommit, clean up my diet a little and start droping really good again.

Yasmina: I have heard alot about the Unjury powders, but ordering from the States could get pretty pricey (I dont think they are available in Canada). There are plenty of good ones that you can source in Canada either in stores or off the net. Go to a GNC or other supplement store and tell them you are looking for a low carb protien powder than mixes well. They will know what is better in terms of tatse as they get alot of feedback from customers about taste etc.

Good luck,

Andrew

Yes I was banded last Thursday at TLBC. I took only one demerol the nite of and that's it. I felt a pulling feeling when I tried to stand straight but thats gone now. I have a heaviness in my chest and Nancy at the clinic said to take several deep breaths and hold it for 10 seconds every hour. I started that at 5 today and I think I'm feeling better. She says it is normal so that's good. I feel pretty good. Tomorrow I'm on full fluids:clap2: , I already cheated and had a yoghurt just now. Went down real smooth and yummy.

Hi Yasmina, I ordered this stuff and shipping is a straight $5.00 anywhere in Canada and it arrived in 2 days. I will try it tomorrow for the first time. I ordered a sample fox of 5 or 6 of both vanilla and choloclate. I'll let you know tomorrow.

Had my Unjury chocolate shake this morning and it was yummy. I bought whey Protein Isolate (Huge Jar) for 20.00 at Shoppers drug mart and the ingredients are just like Unjury. It comes in Vanilla and Chocolate. I bought vanilla because I figured I could just add it to my milk with strawberries or banana, kiwi, whatever and it would work. I will have some later and let you know how it is. For price point it's great. It is really is about taste though isn't it.

Donna: Glad to hear you're doing so well, so quickly. I had an excellent surgery experience too. Most of the consultants at TLBC are bandsters so you can always count on them for good advice.

Yasmina - not so crazy about the Whey protien isolate mixed in my yoghurt. I don't know what possessed me. It was gross. Ill be using it more conspicuosly in the future. Maybe in a shake when I can add a banana that will mask it. Unjury chocolate is better for sure.

Ok the Unjury is pretty good, I can live with it !

What is the nornal amount of fills a person needs ? I will be going for my 3rd, I feel some restriction but not a lot. I have 5.5cc in the midband. How much more do I need. When I get a fill I feel tight for about a min then very little.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
