The Worst Part of Having Lap Band!



Recommended Posts

Well, I don't think that drinking with meals or sucking on ice in any way actaully can hurt the band. i was told by my doctor that the reason u cant drink with meals is...the liquid causes the food to exist the small pouch, then you will not get feel for a long time. and u will be hungry again quickly after eating. drinking with meals completely defeats the purpose of the band.

To lolipopked...I did drink alot of soda...but it is a small price to pay for such a change. I had lap band 2 years & 2 months ago... I have lost 145 pounds and I feel great...now about once every 2 or 3 weeks I will drink about a half of a can of soda...I will pour it over ice and let the carbination die down a little. BUt you will be suprised it really isnt a craving anymore and there are so many sodas I think taste gross now. You can do it...and it is worth it!

      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.
