New to Lapbandtalk and new bander

[Deb W 0]

Hi. I am new to the boards. I received my band on 5/23 and so far doing well. Only problem I had was I broke out in a fiery red rash and was so afraid I was allergic to the band. My surgeon reassured me I was not allergic to the band, and we decided after visiting with my PCP also, that I am allergic to the Protein drink I was consuming. Rash is gone and I feel great. Looking for buddies, support, recipes, and hints/ideas.

Good luck to all

Deb, Congratulations! Just find what works for you and make sure you get enough Protein. I like fat free cottage cheese and yogurt. String cheese is my favorite snack. Make sure you take it slow early in the day till you get loosened up. You will do great! Good luck!
