Well I received my lap band Friday around noon. I was out of recovery and on the St. V unit by 3pm, and up and walking by 4:30pm. Other than feeling like my stomach was used as a punching bag, I'm doing fine. Now I'm home, sipping on the milk + milk powder protein drink with a little peanut butter-flavored syrup for better taste. I'm so glad the surgery is over ... it's like getting strapped into a roller coaster, that same fear as you're pulled up the first big hill. Now I'm over that, and just along for the ride.

Thanks everyone! I found the Torani peanut butter syrup at Cost Plus World Market in Carmel. Unfortunately it is NOT sugar-free, so all those at risk for dumping must use with caution. Hopefully they'll come out with a sugar free version soon. Cost Plus has a huge selection of Torani syrups.
