Will Be having The Band IN 5 Days

POWERWING · September 13, 2003

Hello All, I am new to this site, I came over from Obesityhelp.com. I heard this site was helpful. There are not too many "Bandsters" on that Particular site. I am thankful I found this site.

Anyhow, Today I went to the healthfood store and purchased, Protein drinks and Vitamins. Any suggestions on the inventory I have.

I have purchased, the Atkins drinks, Spiru-tein Protein energy meals, Go Lean by Kashi Drinks, and some various stuff. I do know I will be on Broths and oatmeals, but does anyone recommend anything else. Some Recipies for Juices would be helpfull.

Your input helps tremendously.

Hi Jennifer!

Welcome, and good luck with your banding!! How long will you be on a liquid diet? I found that Soup was my mainstay during that time. All the Protein stuff is sweet and I just couldn't handle that after a while.

Hi Andrea. I have to be on liquids for 2 weeks then mushy food. Its not all to clear. They say everyone is different. Anyhow, I am looking forward to my journey.

Jennifer,

I am from Long Island also. Where are you getting your band done? Do you belong to the Yahoo Group, L.I. Banders? There are a great bunch of people there and we get together once a month. I had my band put in on Sept. 2nd at Syosset Hosp. and I am feeling better every day.

Good Luck on your journey!
