Hello, just signed up. Should have did this months ago. I am having my band done May 14. Excited but nervous about the "recovery". I don't do well with taste changes and I hear the Protein Shakes aren't that great. Can anyone recommend any.

What about this puree phase. Not appealing either.

But I guess thats what I get for putting on all this weight.

Hey, question. Several of you have goal weight numbers. My Dr. didn't tell me what my "ideal" wieght is that I should get to. How did you figure yours out??

Take Care everyone:biggrin:

i absolutely HATED the shakes! i drink Isopure now. they are like fruit juices basically. i think they are comparable to gatorade in taste. they have 40 grams of Protein per drink so its amazing! my nutritionsit told me once i got to the puree stage to just chew my food WAY more than i normally would and puree it in my mouth. during that stage i ate ALOT of beans! the way my dr told me to figure out my weight is by my height. hope that helped some :P and good luck!

      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.
