I'm in Nevada but really close to your resort at Stateline. I take it you own the Primadonna Casino? Okay, bad joke, but if you really did own it then I'd love to meet for a little nickle keno and some Band support.

I'm in Costa Mesa (OC). Unfortunately California is a VERY big state! Kinda makes it hard to get together in person. Isn't it just so wonderful that we have the web to bring all of us so far away close?

Hey, I wish I did own Primadonna Casino... I'd have a free band program for the uninsured!!

Well, I'm 4 days post op. I went right back to work a day after my surgery. I have a desk job so it hasn't been too bad. It's hard to sleep at night because I like sleeping on my side. That's sort of painful right now. I don't like sleeping on my back. My scars are healing beautifully. I don't think they wil be noticable at all. I am still numb around the port site.

I'm sticking to the clear liquid diet but man, is it HARD. I think I'd be OK if I could at least have the mushy foods. It seems like that period is never going to get here. I've heard so many different things about when you can have what the first 4 weeks after surgery. I don't know what's best. For now, I'm taking it day by day. I'm just continuously sipping on tea, juice and eating Jello.

I just pray that it will all be worth it in the end. I still fear that I am going to be the one person in the whole wide world of bandsters that this isn't gonna work on!! I'm really working on having a new mindset that food isn't going to be a major factor in my daily life now. I can now eat to live instead of living to eat.

Thanks for listening!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
