I sit here this mother's day morning and ask myself so many questions. Will the surgery be successful? How will I look next mother's day? How will people search me once the weigthloss begins? I thank God for the opportunity to even have the surgery, I've struggled with obesity since childhood and now it will be the new me in all my potential! Obviously, I've changed significantly the way I eat it's part of the process. Oh you don't know, I had the Lap-Band (2008) and lost 100 pounds and have gained 50 another failed lapband surgery. Then I met the surgeon he said sleeve was best, then I met the main surgeon who said Gastric bypass was best and here I am 29 days before surgery. Excited but nervous, anxious but peaceful and thanking God!

So are you going sleeve or bypass. For me if is going to do it, I wanted an one an done, go all the way. That way I don't have to go back. It turns out that there were medical reasons my doctor wanted me to go bypass (mainly reflux).

Banding is relatively minor compared to sleeve and sleeve is less the bypass but I figure while they have me out I would give myself the best chance!

I was banded in 2008 as well. I initially lost about 70lbs but then had issues and never got the right restriction. Gained it all back. Had the band removed last October. Luckily was approved for a new procedure, Having RNY on May 22. I'm so determined to make it work this time. Even the PreOp diet has been a positive experience for me. I'm ready for a permanent change in my 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.
