I can see that there are so many differences within doctors already. My doctor don't me to have any Protein drinks until the second week. When I do get to drink Protein I need to drink at least 50 to 60 grams a day. Also my doctor did use the super glum method on me instead of stitches or staples. Isn't that funny how there are so many different rules but you still have the same ending results.

yes, mine also said nothing that thick till the second week,. I will have a reality check in the morning,,,,,,,,,,Surgery day,!

I was banded on the 12th and everything has been going well so far. I have had the gas pains that everyone is talking about and I just wanted you guys to know that it is great to have people to share your experiences with. I have read all of your posts in this thread and I can't wait to read more. It sounds like all of you are doing great!!

Good luck!!

Hey, How do you get your Protein in if you can use the shakes? My doctor told me 60 protein, 60 Water, and 60 minutes of exercise. But it is amazing how much each one is. I am down for the 27.

Wow it is amazing how different each one is. My Protein is in 1/2 can of pure protein (35mg protein) shake sipped through out the day. I can also get in egg whites too. My exercise is not time limited. But limited with what I can do. I can only walk.
