Feeling down... Not where I need to be



Recommended Posts

Yes i did the research on the band and weighed the pros and cons of all but it doesnt compare to actually getting the band to only find out weight loss isnt guaranteed and its also not gonna come off as easily as i'd hoped.

This whole bandsters hell is new to me and we're all in some way or another dependent upon routine 'Fills' and chasing the 'green zone'

Thats something i found out once the band was installed.

Bandster hell snuck up on me too and I never heard about it before surgery. LOL Pissed me off too.

I have a few friends that have gotten the sleeve. One is doing great and the other two have Had many complications. They also have to watch what they eat to a T or they will start gaining back. I'm a nurse and the reason I chose the band was because I saw it as not so permanent. As with the sleeve they actually cut some of your stomach out. And as you know once some of an organ is removed they can not put it back. I think with any procedure that a person goes through there are always going to be uphill battles. However be patient and work through them. I know the fills can be a pain however it's just all about maintenance of the band. Just keep going forward. But there is maintenance with the sleeve as well. Not so much as in fills but in other ways. Either way they are both tools to help with weight loss.

      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.
