It takes time. The band is a much slower loss than bypass. I had my 3rd fill in January... and I am just NOW starting to feel it and lose weight! Doc assures me I'm on track and progressing as normal. He reminds me that it can take 2-3 years to lose what I want with the band...

Up until these past couple of weeks I had no idea what the band was supposed to feel like when it did its thing. I am suddenly truly full after less than a cup of food... I haven't finished a meal on my little toddler sized plate in a week, and I'm not hungry for hours. I thought the band wasn't working for me until this started. Hang in there... it's slow, but study after study proves that losing it slowly is healthier and makes it more likely to stay off!!!

      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.
