City: Boston Suburb State: Massachusetts | Post-op diet- will a scoop of icecream in protein drinks hurt band? | |
I am doing really well 4 days post-op. Walking is a huge help, not to mention the pain meds, but I don't like the taste of any of the shakes. Will I damage my band by putting a scoop of ice cream in with the protein shake? One scoop of coffee ice cream in a Carnation Instant Breakfast shake makes it taste so much better and I can get the protein I need.
Help!
Amy

Smooth ice cream and frozen yogurt are indeed full liquids. If you're progressed on to that portion of the postop diet (and off clear liquids), this is not a problem at all. You may get more calories than you want, of course, so don't be surprised if you don't lose as quickly as those who don't add calories this way, but it's all good.

Alexandra, would you mind telling me what an "AP" band is? I tried looking up this term, but could not find it. THANK YOU!
ps: I admire the fact that you were re-banded after a slippage.

Amy | Amy I wasn't a big shake fan either - but i did it cuz that's what i was told to do. I just kept working on them till i found one i liked That scoop of ice cream has alot of calories - try sf ice cream or I think dannon lite makes a coffee chocolate yogurt... only 60 calories.. Good luck the 1st week is the hardest - it gets better day by day.

ps: I admire the fact that you were re-banded after a slippage. | AP is the newest kind of band, recently released by Allergan. I think it stands for Advanced Platform or something. Pretty soon all doctors will be using it; it's not that I'm so special or something. (In fact, I think I'll take that out of my signature, since it's not really anything I had a choice about.)

Did you try mixing in some fruit (1/4 banana or a few strawberries) or cinnamon or vanilla or instant coffee?
I'd at least go with frozen yogurt.
I hear ya though - I'm already sooooo sick of protein shakes - lol!!
