banded 8/5/8

[gracie99 0]

I've just reached my 1 week mark. Got banded on Tues. of last week, by Fri. I was hungry. My dr. wanted only liquids and yogurt, no more protein/high cal. drinks. I don't eat dairy so I've been doing foods that are the consistancy of yogurt, i.e. mashed potatoes, refried Beans, guacamole. I was still feeling really hungry and decided to look on this site to see what's up and found that I really needed more Protein. So I bought some protein Water, Special K and some stuff @ GNC. That's helped I think. I really don't want to mess up. :biggrin:

oh man! i am drinking that Protein Water and it is soooooooooo SWEET :thumbup: i have to dilute it with my water. Also you might want to look into getting some "protein shots" from GNC. i have also seen them in Walmart. They are in what looks like a plastic test tube about 9 inches long. Go to GNC and ask for New Whey Liquid Protein. :biggrin:

That sounds good to me. I am hating the Unjury shakes now, makes me nauseas and bloated and gassy. I am going to having creamy Soups, and I can blenderize other soups in my blender. And some sugar free pudding and lots of Water.< /p>

I would rather take a quick shot of Protein and not drink that stuff any more.

I'll check it out tomorrow.

Thanks

Felling better every day.

I saw a post on Proteins a day or so ago in the nutrition posts. You might check it out and see what else you could add in.

you may want to check with your surgeon ... mashed potatoes and refried Beans are not a liquid but considered more of a 'mushie'.

i agree you may need to up your Protein to feel fuller longer.

good luck.
