NicoleW8ing 0 Posted May 2, 2008 Hello All You Sexy Bandsters! I'm getting banded in 6 days! Yay! DH and I went out to Vitamin Shoppe last night and spent $176 to get prepared for the big day. Along with the DaVinci dissolving B12, liquid Multivitamin (VitaminShoppe brand), and chewable Calcium, we got 8 different types of Protein for me to try. I got a big container of Designer whey (Chocolate) because it comes strongly recommended, RTD Muscle Milk (Cookies and Cream), RTD MetRX (Peanut Butter Fudge), as well as an assortment of others I can't remember now, the most interesting flavor being "banana Walnut Fudge." I'll post a review of all of them once I get going. I'm not trying them till next week when I need them, as they cost way too much money. Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neveragain 9 Posted May 2, 2008 I heart muscle milk. :thumbup: It has a higher saturated fat content, but it's fairly arguable at that. Yarg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ms.Mel 2 Posted May 7, 2008 Good Luck!! I did much the same, only I waited until my 3rd day after banding. I spent a little less than you did. Then....found out my body could not, would not handle any of the Protein drinks. I ended up with a bad case of lactose intolerance and irritable bowels. Now I have a bunch of containers of Protein mixes that I can't use. My nutritionist said I should try them again in a few months after Ive had time to heal. Hope you have better success. Good luck with your banding Ms.Mel banded 4/4/08 1st fill 5/6/08 17 lbs. gone--lots more to go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
