So I survive my surgery and no LEAKS! I was nervous cause I was a previous bander. My band came out after 7 years of complications in December 2012. I couldn't be more please with my recent loss. My surgery was 9/18 and I'm down a total 23lbs. Not bad at all

im sure most is water weight. 18lbs is still 18lbs gone

Success for all! We waited this long and it feels great!!!!

I cannot believe the has come for my surgery. I had a failed lap band in 5/05 and removed 12/12. Wednesday is the big day for VSG. My only concerns are excess skin and social eating. I know that I can have the excess skin removed which would probably just be a tummy tuck. As far as a social eating I worry about going out on dates and probably having to share that I've had weight-loss surgery with the fact that I'll be eating so little. I know I need to do this since I have a long list of medical conditions such as diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc... So I have the presurgical jitters I'm hoping that all will go well I know that everything is in the Lords hand I just hope and pray that nothing goes wrong and I feel good about my choice I'm just nervous

That's for the inspiring words superpretty

I don't believe Kellogg's is nutritious enough.

ISOPURE powder is definitely the best tasting protein shake. In 2 scoops you get 50grams of protein. I usually mix it with water. Dutch chocolate is very good. Pineapple orange banana is very good it's one of my favorites but you you can't go wrong with any of the flavors I say testing out your favorite flavors is the best bet. I don't believe Kellogg's is nutritious enough. I big plastic can of ISOPURE from GNC is most cost effective at 50 bucks. Good luck!

My surgery is set for 10 days. I've read the good,bad, and the ugly. I'm 41 single and worry about excess skin and dating. Have to explain why I will eat so little. I've thought of compression garments that only works when your dressed lol. I know I have a food addiction and its my best friend. But I also know my poor choices is killing me. Diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity....I could use some words of encourage from former sleevers.
