Hello everyone, I am a newbie to lapbandtalk! I wanted to come on here and hear as many stories (good, bad or indifferent) about the band so that I know what to expect when I get my band. Any advise oh wise ones?

Anyhow, show me love, cuz I'm a needy newbie hahaha! You guys all have a safe and fun holiday weekend! :humble:

Welcome to LBT!

Congrats on thinking about getting the band too!

There are lots of good threads about what to expect, what to take to the hosp, food for right after etc.

And people are always happy to answer any question you may have, I know I will do my best ;)

Thanks everyone! So far I have really had alot of questions answered. I was looking at the PB section and I'm not looking forward to learning that lesson hahaha! But, it's all worth it I am certain. It is good to see some BAD things said about the band. Up until now I hadn't seen any "horror" stories on the band and was wondering if it was too good to be true kind of thing. But, I see the complications that could come.

My huband and I were talking last night and right now I think he is feeling as though he loves me the way I am and is a little sad for me to lose. He is such a CHUBBY CHASER! So I guess I need to work on showing him some much needed attention so he'll know I'm not going to fly the coupe after surgery. Poor guy. Oh well, I guess I feel wanted???:)

I was referred here by my friend Tricia Kutz, anyone know her? I was previously on obesity help and have a profile there, but this website seems to be a bit more organized and insightful than that one. But hey, its much like myspace and you can make a hella cool page right! Just another internet addiction to add to the ones I already have. Thanks for the warm welcome! :hippie:

Hey Mrs. Christy, I see you mentioned My Space. My daughter was rather insistent that I set up a myspace, so I have finally got it up and going and just joined the big lapband group they have. Are you a part of that group? Just wondering. I am a computer geek, gadget geek and internet addict too, lol.

      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.
