THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY



Recommended Posts

there is one thing I haven't seen on here..... the negatives.....I wanna learn from others mistakes or weigh in on logic when I go to make decisions influence my thought to help me not make a mistake.....Anyone doing this surgery for the second time? What led them to doing it over? does your stomach stretch over time? I can swallow a huge mouth full of liquid on three weeks out is that normal? I have been really focused on drinking a lot of fluids. I had a packed half a cup of refried Beans is that ok?

GoneRogue, there are posts out on the forum regarding people who have had to have a second sleeve surgery. Make sure you use the search feature and have the selection to forums and search for resleeve or a similar term. There are also several posts by individuals that state they have the ability to take in "what they believe to be a large amount of liquids", but once they move to more solid foods they feel much fuller and it takes a smaller amount to reach that feeling.

There is a lot of information on the site in various places so I am very confident you will find most, if not all, of the information you are seeking.

I am in the pre-surgery stage, new to the sleeve but not new to weight loss since I currently have a lap band.

Good luck.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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.
