You are inspirational!

Are there any support groups around the Bay Area? I have yet to meet anyone else with a Band around here.

I went to a seminar in San Jose. Good Sam Hospital has opened a bariatric center. It was fun to talk to prospective banders.

Whoa--I was googling myself and saw this post. I mean...someone had to, right?

Sorry I went awol---things have been busy. I'm doing great though. Had some complications with reflux that resulted in having an empty band for close to 2 years. Finally settled with *some* restriction and had to find a balance between recognizing the restriction I did have and trying to make better food choices.

The bad news is that I ended up gaining back like 40+ pounds. I've taken off 20 since then but verrrrry slowly. I seem to hover around 190-195. My favorite place to be was 175ish but you know what, I can't complain. I was 310 pounds once and I never forget the difference in my life, even when I backstepped.

I have a blog on the site that spotlight moved to--fatblog.org

Thanks for asking and I'm sorry for my neglect of this list!

7 years out and still happy with my band :).

      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.
