Does anyone ever feel that maybe this wont work and maybe it wasnt the right idea? I've had a rough day with pain and all the sudden had doubts - inside I know its the right thing but how do you stay motivated?

In the beginning of exploring the idea of getting banded I had many doubts that I would fail one more time. Now that I'm so close to getting banded I know that I will lose the weight. I have to because my health is at risk.

Plan each day and stick with it! You deserve to be healthy and look great!

The pain will pass remember this is the hardest part. Have happy thoughts and think of the new life ahead as a smaller person and healthier :thumbup:

I was just banded on the 29th, and yes I do think sometimes was this the right thing to do and will it work for me. All I can say is I'm doing my best to make it work and I really hope I don't regret it. Thats for sure not to say that I haven't already messed up, but I have to have hope that after a while I will see more results and be alot more confident about my decsion. whats done is done and I'm working my tool as best I can today.

I think that all the time... less and less now as time passes. I think it's completely normal to doubt the band and yourself. Sometimes when I get on the scale and I haven't lost as much as I wanted or thought I should I thought, man, I've failed again, the band failed me... blah blah blah.

Just get past those moments. The first few weeks are the hardest. I'm just now getting to a point of normalcy...

      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.
