Hi there. I've just started this journey so maybe my presence is a little premature. I'm in the Kingsport, TN area and will attend my first seminar in a couple weeks. Still have almost 6 months of nutrition plan before insurance will approve procedure.

I'd appreciate any and all advice anyone has for someone in the early beginning stages. The good, the bad, and the ugly!!

Thanks!!

Good luck! I'm still too new to this lifestyle to give any big advice other than find a doctor you like and follow directions (don't try to push your self to hard after surgery)

You're in the right place. I started on this site when I was beginning my 6 month diet as well. this site has given me a world of knowledge and I'm happy to say I was banded on May 17th. My only advice would be to learn everything you can before hand. Best of luck to you.

Research research research.

I am glad I picked the band, but keep an open mind to other choices.

A great doctor and support staff was most important to me.

Welcome aboard.

Thanks! I have my first consultation coming up soon and will weigh out the pros/cons of a lap band vs gastric sleeve.

      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.
