Hallole! I'm 8 mths postop and live and was banded here in the Stuttgart area. Anyone else?

Hi Katja,

I'm in Berlin, and my surgery date is coming up in 4 days... April 30! I'm so happy to see a couple others from Germany are here. I'm an American, and even though I've lived in Berlin for over 4 years, there are some things that are still a mystery to me, like where to go to buy Protein drinks!

I have a long list of questions for my doctor at my pre-op appointment on Monday, that's for sure. :-)

Greetings from Canada!

You could try Almased. They have it at the Apotheken. Or they can at least order it for you. Almased is a soy based Protein shake and doesn't taste that bad. It has all the essential Vitamins and minerals to make it through the day.

Other Protein shakes should be available in local drug stores like Schlecker and DM. Try the "natural food section".

Some fitness clubs might sell also Protein Shakes.

Good luck!

Diva,

You will probably get a drink called "Fortimel" in the hospital. I did. I bought it in the Apotheke when i was released. The chocolate and strawberry are really good. Good luck on your surgery.

Congratulations Daniml!

I am an American living near Stuttgart. I was banded here. Let's keep in touch to share our thoughts on our adopted countries and of course, our progress with our bands!

Good luck on your surgery and come back and let us all know how you're doing.

Katja
