I searched about having surgery for about 2 years. I would go back and forth about what to do or not to do. I have tried every exercise program, diet pills, diet liquid drops and just to loose weight on my own. Well it might of worked for a little bit and then BOOM I would go back to my same ways and my weight would go back up.

You have to write the possitive and negativeof having the surgery. Which list is longer? For me the number 1 thing was to be around longer for my kids, i'll be healthier, walk around all the time without being winded, at the pool I won't be the "big Mom", i'll fit on the roller coaster rides, I can shop anywhere I want, I will tie my shoes and won't have to pull them up to my leg with pulling on my pant leg, my kids won't hear that their mom is fat, I will control how much I eat, and thats just a few. Cons the liquid diet, finding out how much food runs my life, and nervous about loose skin but that can be fixed. See how long the list of possitive and how short the negative is

You have to do whats right for you. I think everyone is always nervous about the unknown and thats alright. If we had a magic wand or a future mirror would we make the same decision? If it means that i'm here longer then i'm making the right decision to have the band. Your life isn't over with surgery but its the end of food running your life.

      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.
