Hey Maggie' date='

I think the book is definitely worth having post-op, too. It still answers questions for me now. It's a good before, during, after, & ongoing type of reference written, I believe, by the guy who moderates this site. I looked up the link that I used to buy it & pasted it below to make it easier for you. All purchase options are on the same page.

For future july banders it's strange I don't feel any different a week post op. I did have horrible gas in my shoulder and every so often my body likes to remind I had survey but I'm almost 100% my per surgery self. For Protein I have been drinking the Isopure coconut and blue one. Coconut reminds me of Malibu rum my goal for NYE is to down another 30 pounds I lost 25 so far. Finally I feel normal me again I decided to lay low the past week didn't tell many of my friends I was having it done. My issue for not telling them was I felt like a failure that I couldn't do this on my own. I realize it is a great tool and is probably what I needed but all my years of failing on diets just left me hopeless... Dieting since 10 years old 28 years of up/down weight-loss im done i want to be in the one hundreds don't care if its 198 so sick of seeing the 2 as the first number !!!!The people who do kno are super supportive and as I feel more comfortable I will tell the rest of my friends. I know they will all be supportive as I cleaned my list of friends and only kept the good ones to old for drama and bs. I am so glad I found this sight you all have been so helpful. I read more than I post
