This is for everybody that questions if they can really lose all the weight they have to lose. When I started I had 300 pounds to lose (would be happy with 250). I second guessed the surgery all the time because of how much weight I have to lose. Well 3 1/2 months after my surgery (January 28th) I am down 100 pounds and feeling great. So yea I believe its possible.

Well I try to eat healthy foods such as chicken and fish, but I don't have a specific diet that I follow. With my job I am on the go alot so I even eat out quite often. I just try to make good choices. Let me tell you though it is not always easy and sometimes I eat things I really shouldn't but I don't eat them a lot and can't eat much of them when I do. I try to make sure I get all of my Protein in every day and I think that helps a lot. I excercise 1 hour 4 times a week. Right now I do the treadmill and the bicycle.

I am glad I found this site. I was beginning to doubt myself and my decision to have lap band instead of gastric bypass. I feel very much at home here as I await my surgery date.

I was going to have gastric bypass when I was first considering because I had so much to lose but after talking with my surgeon and the psychologist I reconsidered and chose lap-band and am very thankful I did

FANTASTIC! I'm down by 23 lbs. since the post-op diet started on the 30th of April and I am excited about that! My surgery was on May 14th. But 100 lbs in that short span of time! Wow! Awesome! How encouraging!

Thank you SOOOO much for that motivation. I still go back and forth on weather to do it or not, I know it is what I need to do, just being stubborn. I am 383 now and it is getting worse...I have got to do something. It will be a while till I can get lap band though, due to insurance approval etc...

THANK YOU!! Keep us updated please!

Good luck with your insurance. I got my approval within a month (by Jan. 08), but didn't have the surgery until May. Had some issues that I had to resolve, after talking to some people about food restrictions and then discussing it all with the surgeon. I can't wait until my first fill, June 26! I'm healing great and feeling great!

Blg20002000...Congratulations! You're off to a great start. I was one of the 2BC (Too Big Crew) myself when I started. I know for a fact it can be done cause I'm doing it. Keep up the good work!

      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.
