Went to my first support group meeting last night..



Recommended Posts

It was a great experience, and I'm really glad I went. Everyone was extremely friendly, and all had open ears while I cried and talked about my concerns. A couple of gals even gave me their phone numbers and email addresses, which I greatly appreciated since I don't have many people to talk to.

I have not had my surgery yet, but Im doing my 6 mo supervised diet. I'm not a full month out, so I have plenty of time to think through everything. Im still stuck between getting

the band, and getting the sleeve. I don't know what i'm going to do... I hope this gets easier.

I felt the same way after I went to the support group meeting 10/23/10. I think everyone should attend at least one.

I have attend three support groups.. which is mandatory by my Doctor. I found it interested to know that so many people are taking their lives into their own hands.. I am so glad that I have made this decision... I am having the lap band.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
