Hi everyone! My name is Jennifer and I was banded on 6/14/10. I have just had my sixth fill and have not yet found the "sweet spot", but I am just over 40 lbs. down on a 146 lb. journey, so I am happy and will be patient - slow and steady!

I have, like many of you, fluctuated up and down for years and most recently lost 92 lbs. on Jenny Craig - it worked! And then I went off the program. Sound familiar? So, I gained back the 92 plus and additional 35... and my physician recommended Lap-Band to me back in February. I started to look into it and found that my company has a gastric exclusion to their insurance policy... but after working with True Results in Dallas I took my life in my own hands and decided to self-pay. While the financing has me struggling financially - I figure that I could be either close-to or at my goal by the time the surgery is paid off and then I'll be thin, confident, filled with energy and PAID OFF. The bright side!!!

I am in a 14cc band with 8.4ccs of Fluid to date. Hopefully I will find real restriction or my "sweet spot" soon.

I am here to meet and talk with other bandsters and learn what I might be doing wrong (I can't believe I did not know that sliming was a BAD SIGN!)

So... glad to be a part of this!

-Jennifer

      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.
