Karen C 0 Posted January 4, 2008 I am new to this and not really sure how to use it. I was banded on Monday, 12/31/07. My doctor was Dr. Nazari in Greenville, NC My top weight was 239. Today I weighed 226. I am on the Protein Shakes and are already tired of them. Any suggestions out there on what to do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucysmom 0 Posted January 4, 2008 Hi! I was banded on 12/6 and I know how boring the first few weeks can be. I assume you are what my Dr. calls the full liquid stage. I drank Protein shakes (found Syntha-6 to be the tastiest), but also had Soups (I had good luck with organic Soups from Safeway, as they didn't require any straining, so they were very convenient. There was Broccoli, Corn, Carrot and Squash). I could have yogurt,so I had yogurt and yogurt smoothies. I also had pudding. Not being a fan of chocolate, I found lots of new flavors in the sugar free instant pudding category - white chocolate, cheesecake, etc. I also like the sugar free carmel puddings from Hunt's. As always, follow whatever your surgeon and nutritionist recommend - every program can be different. Congrats on making this step and my best to you! Lucysmom 285/265/?
