Hello all, just banded 4/18



Recommended Posts

Hello to all, me and my fiancé just got banded on 4/18. We both have lost around 20 pounds apiece. We are still on Clear Liquids for a few more days and then we can add creamed Soups for another week. We got ours done by Dr Spiegel in Houston. Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hi There,

I was banded on April 18th too! My fiance had a gastric bypass surgery a couple of years ago. he's lost 150lbs, but has 50lbs. more to go. I figured both of us having tummies the same size would make it easier for us to accomplish our goals. It would be great to keep in touch with you and your honey throughout... I'm interested in hearing the obstacles you face going through it together. And if you find a way that makes it easier, while still maintaining your relationship, let me know! I know my fiance and I did Dr.Bernsteins for 3 months last year and we just about killed eachother (lost 140lbs. between the two of us, though!), so I know the relationship challenges are there on top of the weight loss... it's almost impossible for me to diet without him dieting too! And I want to kill him when I see him cheat, but then we both end up cheating secretly when the other one's not around... oh, so many issues!!! Hope to hear from you once you're in the mode.... happy recovering!

Hi there! I was banded on the same day! I keep wondering how long I can keep doing this, but I keep doing it, so that must be a good thing:)

Good luck to you as we both take this one day at a time, and sometimes, for me at least, it's one meal at a time! :tt2: A

I was banded on the 18th as well, and today is the first day I actually feel great! It has been slow going, all pain meds made me sick so I have been going with just liquid Tylenol. I am only consuming about 4oz of Unjury all day with Water in between, and I feel full all the time. How are you all doing so far? Good Luck to all!

      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.
