Dec 4 here. I started drinking muscle milk as its in my pre-op book of choices. Love it!! But I was googling it to see the vita/nutri and there are actually being investigated and may be taken off the shelf. Figures once I like something so good and its lite it has arsenic, cadium, mercury etc high levels if you drink 2 much a day.

I heard about 310 shake? Anyone take that?

Dr. Cohen told me to start my pre-op diet On Nov 27 5 days before surgery.......

Muscle Milk Lite is not being removed from shelves & does not have mercury in them. I've been in contact with Sam's Club, Target, Shop Rite, Walmart & they are not removing from shelves. My Doctors office did research as well & said they've heard nothing & also made a few calls & said they've heard nothing of the sort. This may be a started rumor gone badd.

Good luck to all upcoming surgeries & you'll all so just fine. I've been Banded since 12/22/10 & I don't regret it. I'm happy that I did it. Good Luck all & much success.

I live in Fort Worth and my sugery is set for December 6th. I started my pre op diet today, so far so good! I was suppose to start on Thanksgiving day, but I didn't want to explain to my extended family why I wasn't eating. I'm going through True Results in Hurst, they've been extremely nice and helpful. I am starting to have some anxiety about the surgery. Not the lapband itself, but the IV! Of all things, I know. I have rolling veins so I'm starting to drink a lot of Water now!

I would like to lose about 75 pounds.

My husband had the sugery a month ago and he's lost a little over 30 pounds. He's done so good!

Hi ladies, I'm already banded but going to have surgery to fix it as originally my tubing had a leak but now has broke so its in two. Any way after bring banded I fell pregnant almost straight away so haven't had a previous fill/weight loss other than during my pre op diet. So technically I'm starting from scratch, my surgery date is December 24th :-o I have four children, so think it's rubbish, leaving them on Christmas Eve, I'm really scared too, secretly looking forward to it but trying not to get my hopes up because I've not had much luck up to know with it having a leak and what not. Again really scared :-( lol x

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
