I was banded Aug 5, 2008 by Dr. Adam Smith. I have done very well with the procedure post op and also with my first fill. I have to admit, being the coward that I am, I was a little worried about the fill. It took about 30 seconds and I was done. The only thing that concerns me is getting enough Protein and liking it. I have a powdered protein supplement that has 42 gms. of protein and I can get it down with ff milk, ice, and tang but I would welcome any ideas of what to mix to make it more tasty. I know I will get tired of drinking it on a daily basis.

I would recommend taking Isopure. It gives you 50 gms of Protein per serving and unlike some of the others has no carbs. Some of the other protein mixes have hidden sugars and can make you retian Water thus not really showing weight loss. Also if you would like to keep from having loose skin I would recommend an Amino acid. I take 4 tbl spoons a day which gives me a nother 30 gms of protein and will help tighten and elasticize the skin. They have cherry flavored amino acids and you can mix with water so it doesn't taste as bad.

Thanks for the reply. I will check into the Isopure and the amino acid. Congratulations to you for the amazing weight loss. That is very inspiring since I'm so new at this!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
