I've been to the education seminar. My hubby is taking me tomorrow. I'm not sure what happens and what even to ask. Any pearls from any of you would be helpful.

My insurance will not pay....so guess it will be my dime.....well many of them actually.

Once you have the surgery is it easy to not eat? "What is so different that you can stop yourself from pigging out? Is it a conscious thing that you are really aware of what you eat or are not supposed to eat?

I'm such a foodie. Our whole social life revoles around entertaining and wine and cooking. How do you do it? CJ

I have my class to inform us of the whole process on wed. I guess it is 4 hours. So many questions. My neighbor had the gastric bypass. Her weight just fell off. She looks great. but has health issues. I am guessing due to her food habbits she eats chocolate nonstop. and ice cream. I like the fact that it is adjustable and if need be could be removed. please tell me why you choose lap band over gastric bypass jsut looking for some reasurance

      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.
