That's easy, NO. If you are working toward a healthy lifestyle, absolutely no. Sorry, I am a prior smoker.

The word is it can cause ulsers so it's bad for he band, they told me the joke irritates the stomach after the band is placed. I'm quitting now so I can get my surg, they won't do it unless I quit, been 15 days surg isn't till the end of nov.

It slows the healing process, as well as contributing to erosions.

Obviously it isn't smart to smoke...but my dr said it doesn't directly effect the band. My band is on the stomach not my lungs.

      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...

        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.
