Hi guys. I was searching for Protein drops online and I came across this website. It has sooo many interesting recepies for low carb/low fat drinks.....and it lists all the liquid Protein Drinks available and their websites I believe....Maybe it this can be made into a sticky? I dunno. Please check it out and lemme know if its been helpful! There are some AWESOME non alcoholic, low fat, low carb mixed drinks in there too!

It is entirely possible that this link has been mentioned here before...and I am sorry if it has, but I got excited over it. :cheeky

Hi Doll!

Ive never heard of these protien drops, but youve stirred my interest in finding them. Hope someone can give us more info. I NEED more protien in my daily diet.

I just looked at that site, and I agree, it should be placed as a sticky!

Great finding!!!

Thanks for the website. It looks interesting. I had Vertical Banded Glastroplasty surgery on May 24, 2005. I have lost about 30 lbs. I read everyone's posts with great interest and this website has been a great friend to me.

My surgery is different than the lap-band surgery. I cannot adjust my band so I feel like I am in a current state of how you guys feel after you have been just filled. I wish that I could adjust my band. My insurance company (Aetna) would only pay for the Vertical Banded Glastorplasy not lapband :D

I am hoping that things get easier for me and that I will have more food options. Do any of you know anyone who has had this surgery?

Paula..

I emailed the Dietician that was at our support meeting and she said you can get these drops in any drug store...but it has to say "Contains all essencial amenio acids"....She said that they come fruity flavored but you can add it to ice tea.....HUMMM Very interesing. I guess this would be back by the Vitamins and stuff ... I guess I should pay more attention to the items offered in this section huh? :(...........I thought it would mean a trip to a special health food store in some remote section of town and I would be surrounded by tree huggin, oat eattin, hemp wearin hippies..eheheheheh JUST KIDDING JUST KIDDING...HIPPIES ARE AWESOME! Im in a weird mood today...Its been a weird day..... Sooo I will search hi you search low and I am sure we will find these buggers.

Hope this is helpful!

Good luck!

Oh Janice....sorry didn't mean to ignore you......Welcome to Lap Band. Your surgery seems interesting. If you feel as we do when we get a fill, why would you need to wish you could adjust it? Interesting...now I am curious....:( If I were the Cat, I would be in BIG TROUBLE...("Curiosity killed the cat") Is it too intense? Or would you want it tighter? I had Aetna when I started this whole fandango and the woman who does all the insurance autherizations told me to hold off till I got my new insurance...I switched to GHI in March...I started things in January.....She told me right off the get go that Aetna would give us a hard time in the autherization process....Im glad that we waited. My approval went sooo quick and with out flaw...It was very encouraging!

Well, it was nice to meet you!

I would like to be able to adjust the band to be less tight (less restriction). However, mine is permanent and not adjustible. It has been 5 weeks since my surgery and I am mostly surviving on liquids. I have an opening the size of a M & M candy. Do you all have the same size opening. I am envious when I read about some of the foods that the people on this website talk about eating (even if in small quantities). I can't imagine ever being able to eat any real food. I think since my band is permanent, it will always be this tight. Dealing with Aetna was a nightmare. They refused to even consider the lap-band surgery, claimed it was "experimental". They would only pay for the more evasive Vertical Banded Gastroplasty. I really wish that I could have had the lap band surgery instead. However, it is too late. I had to argue and fight with Aetna for like 2 years. I finally won an appeal.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
