I had LapBand June 2011 and became pregnant shortly after. I moved away from my surgeon because of my job and was unable to use the band while pregnant. I had my daughter and shortly after was laid off, was focused on helping my husband through a new found depression state and then a year later had moved and filed for divorce. I no longer had insurance that would cover my visits and being a new single mom, money didn't grown on trees.

Long story short when I had the band done I knew I needed more help but gastric bypass scared me. I'm ready to focus on myself and my health again. Been there with the dieting but I need more help. I'm not considering gastric sleeve. Surgery scares me and lapband was no walk in the park but I want to be around for my daughter. I'm in relatively good health but how long will that last since I am so overweight.

I was once super active on here and need to get back with it. I feel like the sleeve was what I was looking for in the first place but it wasn't well known or an option for me at the time as I don't think my surgeon did it.

I dread this process, I am excited for the future, I'm scared of surgery, I am just a bucket of nerves and emotions.

Any advice, encouragement, anything would be greatly appreciated :-)

      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...

        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.
